| Rising temperatures are causing an unprecedented transformation in the Arctic Posted: 14 Dec 2021 02:57 PM PST  Climate change continues to create "cascading disruptions" in the Arctic as the region experiences rapid warming, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association (NOAA) writes in its 16th annual Arctic Report Card released earlier today. Pulling together the most recent data on temperature trends, sea ice cover, and more gathered in 2020 and 2021, this year's Arctic Report Card includes 111 contributing writers from 12 countries, who detail the transformation taking place across the far north as a result of human-caused climate change. That includes dramatic sea ice losses, rapid melting of the Greenland ice sheet, and exceptionally warm autumns. The Arctic experienced its warmest autumn on record between October and December 2020.

| Instagram reportedly hit 2 billion active users but probably won’t admit it Posted: 14 Dec 2021 02:43 PM PST  Instagram has reportedly climbed to 2 billion monthly active users, that is according to anonymous employees who broke the news to CNBC. The Meta-owned company hasn't — and probably won't — officially disclosed these numbers, as it has spent the last several months under scrutiny for potentially causing harm to kids and teens. The last time Instagram publicly announced the size of its userbase was back in 2018 when the platform revealed that it had 1 billion users. It took three years for Instagram to hit the 2 billion mark. The employees who tipped off CNBC say that they found out about the number during internal conversations — one staff member... |
| T-Mobile’s not-Chromecast Google TV dongle adds an ethernet jack Posted: 14 Dec 2021 02:38 PM PST  T-Mobile's TVision streaming service was not long for this world, but its name lives on in the TVision Hub — a $50 dongle with Google TV. It appears to function a lot like Google's own Chromecast, but along with some T-Mobile branding, 9to5Google points out that it offers a feature you won't find on Google's streaming dongle: an ethernet jack. That direct internet connection may be a real benefit if your home Wi-Fi signal isn't quite up to the task of streaming 4K video. The T-Mo Report spotted the device last week on T-Mobile's website, which is a new version of the streaming dongle launched with the TVision service. It comes with a remote bearing Netflix, YouTube, and Google Assistant buttons and connects with accessories like game... |
| IBM and Samsung say their new chip design could lead to week-long battery life on phones Posted: 14 Dec 2021 02:33 PM PST  IBM and Samsung have announced their latest advance in semiconductor design: a new way to stack transistors vertically on a chip (instead of lying flat on the surface of the semiconductor). The new Vertical Transport Field Effect Transistors (VTFET) design is meant to succeed the current FinFET technology that's used for some of today's most advanced chips and could allow for chips that are even more densely packed with transistors than today. In essence, the new design would stack transistors vertically, allowing for current to flow up and down the stack of transistors instead of the side-to-side horizontal layout that's currently used on most chips. Vertical designs for semiconductors have been a trend for a while (FinFET already... |
| Inscryption mod makes the game’s best part endlessly replayable Posted: 14 Dec 2021 02:02 PM PST  Inscryption, my game of the year, Polygon's game of the year, and what should be your game of the year, is getting a free mini update that gives its fans exactly what they want — a way to endlessly play the game's first act. Kacyee's Mod, available now as a playable beta, adds new cards, items, and a difficulty modifier that make Inscryption's already challenging card game even spicier. Daniel Mullins, the creator of Inscryption, says he made this mod in response to fans' overwhelming support of the game. "This mini-expansion is in part an expression of my gratitude," Mullins wrote on Steam. "I have received countless requests for an endlessly playable version of Part 1 that emphasizes Leshy's deckbuilding roguelike as a standalone... |
| Judge denies California’s attempt to intervene in Activision Blizzard settlement Posted: 14 Dec 2021 01:42 PM PST  Today in federal court, a judge said she will deny the state of California's attempt to intervene in the $18 million settlement between Activision Blizzard and the EEOC, according to a report from Bloomberg. The denial prevents the California Department of Fair Employment and Housing from joining the EEOC's lawsuit against Activision Blizzard in order to oppose the consent decree that accompanies the creation of an $18 million settlement fund. The DFEH filed the objection in October, stating that the consent decree would harm the state's case against Activision Blizzard, asserting the decree could, among other adverse outcomes, potentially allow for the destruction of evidence necessary to the state's case or release the company from... |

| Twitter is rolling out automatic captions for videos Posted: 14 Dec 2021 01:00 PM PST  In a major boon for accessibility, Twitter is now rolling out automatic captions for videos, the company announced Tuesday. Auto captions will be available globally on iOS, Android, and the web in "most languages," according to Twitter. However, there's one significant catch with the automatic captions: they'll only appear on new videos uploaded to Twitter. Old videos that don't have captions still won't have them. There's also no way to report inaccurate or bad captions, a Twitter spokesperson tells The Verge, though they say "we're always looking at ways to improve our accessibility features." Twitter has a somewhat rocky history with accessibility features, though it has taken steps to improve. The company was heavily criticized for... |
| Gotta go fast: Sonic is coming to Tesla’s in-car system Posted: 14 Dec 2021 12:37 PM PST  Sega is bringing back the original 1991 Sonic the Hedgehog game — this time for Tesla Arcade. A PR representative for the company told The Verge that Sonic the Hedgehog 1 will be available on all Tesla models but did not share a timeline. Elon Musk tweeted about the new Sonic game by once again pestering senator Bernie Sanders. The Tesla CEO replied to his own November tweet of a Bernie Sanders "once again asking" meme where the senator is poorly photoshopped with Dr. Robotnik's mustache and glasses... asking for Chaos Emeralds (the in-game secret power-ups scattered in each zone).
Sonic 1 is the crazy-fast side scroller where the titular blue... |
