| CES 2022 loses Microsoft in Las Vegas over COVID fears Posted: 24 Dec 2021 11:38 AM PST  Microsoft is the latest company to drop a physical presence at CES, as the increased prevalence of COVID-19 spooks exhibitors. It joins a growing list of major companies ditching the world's largest technology show. "After reviewing the latest data on the rapidly evolving COVID environment, Microsoft has decided not to participate in-person at CES 2022," a company spokesperson said in an e-mailed statement. (The spokesperson declined to give their name because that's how Microsoft prefers to announce event status changes.) Instead, the company will have a digital presence for both the Microsoft Partner Innovation Experience and Automotive Press Kit. Microsoft was a featured exhibitor at the technology conference, and is now the latest to... |
| Apple must let dating apps offer alternate in-app payment options, says Dutch regulator Posted: 24 Dec 2021 10:20 AM PST  Apple must allow dating app developers to offer non-Apple payment systems for in-app purchases or face a hefty fine, according to a detailed ruling released today from the Netherlands Authority for Consumers and Markets (ACM). The regulator has been investigating the company's App Store practices since 2019, but Reuters reports that it decided to focus on dating apps after receiving a complaint from Match Group, owners of dating services like Tinder, Match.com, and OkCupid. This decision doesn't apply to other app categories, like games or productivity apps, in the country. "Some app providers are dependent on Apple's App Store, and Apple takes advantage of that dependency," writes Martijn Snoep, chairman of the board of ACM. "Apple has... |
| An app gave crucial seconds of warning before a major California earthquake Posted: 24 Dec 2021 07:11 AM PST  An early-alert system designed to give people crucial seconds of warning before earthquakes lived up to its promise on Monday. It buzzed through a half a million phones ahead of a 6.2 magnitude earthquake that hit northwest California — the largest quake since the system, called ShakeAlert, rolled out across the entire state, The Guardian reported. ShakeAlert pulls information from the United States Geological Survey's (USGS) sensor network. If data from those sensors says there will be major shaking in an area, people living there get alerts through the MyShake app (if they've downloaded it), or through the wireless emergency alerts system on their phones. Alerts also go out to Android users through a partnership between Google, USGS,... |
| Google faces nearly $100 million fine in Russia over failure to delete banned content Posted: 24 Dec 2021 07:07 AM PST  A Russian court has fined Google $98 million over its failure to remove content deemed illegal in the country. The 7.2 billion rouble fine is around eight percent of Google's revenue in Russia, Reuters reports, and comes amid a broader push within the country to exert more control over big tech companies and the content people publish on their platforms. Google tells The Verge it will "study the court documents when they are available and then decide on next steps." However, a Russian official cited by Bloomberg threatened "very unpleasant measures" if Google doesn't comply with the country's mandate to delete banned content, which includes promotion of drugs and posts by organizations the government says are extremist or terroristic,... |
| PSA: You’ll miss 25 minutes of The Expanse’s final season if you don’t pause it Posted: 24 Dec 2021 06:52 AM PST  If you're a fan of The Expanse, like me, you're probably wondering whether its final six episodes — currently airing each Friday through January 14th — are enough to wrap up its epic story. What you're probably not wondering: whether Amazon has buried nearly one-tenth of the show's final season in a place you might not think to look, and can't even find on your TV. But it's true. The Expanse's production company filmed an additional 25 minutes of story across five vignettes, which you can only access through Amazon's X-Ray service by pausing the show and scrolling through otherwise hidden menus. (They're under Bonus Content.) But I couldn't find them on Apple TV or Google TV, and the showrunners have confirmed that's because Amazon... |
| Sex ed info on TikTok shows gaps in traditional education Posted: 24 Dec 2021 06:30 AM PST  Teens and adolescents might be turning to TikTok to learn about sex when their typical sex education isn't sufficient. But the videos on the platform aren't screened for misinformation and don't give teens ways to ask additional questions, notes a new analysis. Sex education offered in schools in the United States is usually inadequate — most states don't require kids to be taught about topics like contraception, consent, and gender diversity. Information about sex, though, is spreading on TikTok, which has millions of adolescent and teen users. To evaluate the sex education information on TikTok, one author of a new study created an account as a 15-year-old, downloaded 100 videos under the #sexeducation and #healthclass hashtags, and... |

| TikTok sued by former content moderator for allegedly failing to protect her mental health Posted: 24 Dec 2021 05:28 AM PST  A former content moderator for TikTok has filed a lawsuit against the platform, alleging that parent company ByteDance provides inadequate safeguards to protect moderators' mental health against a near-constant onslaught of traumatic footage. In a proposed class-action lawsuit filed in the California Central District Court, Candie Frazier says she spent 12 hours a day moderating videos uploaded to TikTok for a third-party contracting firm named Telus International. In that time, Frazier says she witnessed "thousands of acts of extreme and graphic violence," including mass shootings, child rape, animal mutilation, cannibalism, gang murder, and genocide. Frazier says that in order to deal with the huge volume of content uploaded to... |
| Tesla update lets drivers turn their cars into megaphones Posted: 24 Dec 2021 03:54 AM PST  As part of its annual holiday software update, Tesla has released a new feature that lets drivers turn their cars into megaphones. The update was spotted by Electrek, which reports that it's only available in newer Tesla models (2019 or later). This is because the feature uses external speakers that were installed in recent Tesla vehicles to meet US regulations. These regulations stipulate that otherwise silent electric cars should be able to alert pedestrians to their presence at low speeds. A video of the feature (below) captures these external speakers repeating everything the driver says with a slight delay and an echo-y, bass-heavy distortion. It's not clear if this distortion can be changed or removed.
