| Merry Christmas! Santander Claus made a $176 million payment mistake Posted: 31 Dec 2021 03:01 PM PST  Some tens of thousands of people woke up on Christmas Day to doubled wages and a higher-than-expected bank balance after Santander did an oopsie, depositing £130 million ($176 million) into accounts held by its UK customers. Santander would now like the money back, please. The deposit mishap was the result of a mysterious "scheduling issue," according to The Times, which first reported the story. The bank confirmed to The Verge that some payments were accidentally doubled. (Santander is characterizing it as a "technical issue.") Those transactions included those from 2,000 businesses, as well as accidental deposits across 75,000 accounts of individuals and companies like a corporate Ebeneezer Scrooge who'd been scared into generosity. |
| CES 2022 will close a day early because of COVID concerns Posted: 31 Dec 2021 11:53 AM PST  CES has dropped the last day of its 2022 tech conference in Las Vegas, and the show will now end on January 7th, the Consumer Technology Association announced today. The shorter schedule is "an additional safety measure" in the face of a surge of COVID-19 diagnoses. Over the last two weeks, a number of large companies — including BMW, Intel, AMD, GM, Google, T-Mobile, Amazon, Microsoft and the company formerly known as Facebook — have dropped their physical presences at the conference. It's the largest tech conference in the world, which typically pulls more than 10,000 people in each year. Yesterday the US set a grim new record in COVID: the highest number of... |
| Biden administration will continue ISS cooperation through 2030 Posted: 31 Dec 2021 11:15 AM PST  The US will continue to work with other countries' space programs on the International Space Station through 2030, NASA announced today. That will allow for an uninterrupted transition to a planned commercial space station (or stations!) in the late 2020s. Funds for the ISS have already been approved through 2024. NASA administrator Bill Nelson told The Verge in May that he wants to continue work on the ISS through 2030. The ISS's future was called into question in 2018, when a draft budget proposal from President Donald Trump's administration had scheduled ending support for the space station in 2025. More recently, escalating tensions between the US and Russia have threatened the... |
| Colorado fires close out a year of disastrous drought Posted: 31 Dec 2021 10:34 AM PST  Devastating fires in Colorado cap off a year of awful drought across the US. Dry conditions helped set the stage for blazes that scorched hundreds of homes and forced tens of thousands to evacuate just ahead of New Year's Eve. The fires have been raging through suburbs near Denver since December 30th. Strong winds fanned the flames and knocked out power. About 6,000 acres and at least 500 homes had burned by Friday morning. But there were no casualties, which Boulder County Sheriff Joe Pelle called "miraculous" given the severity of the fire in a press briefing. Families had "minutes" to evacuate their homes, Governor Jared Polis said. More than two-thirds of Colorado's land is experiencing "severe" drought, according to the US Drought... |
| A program for cheaper internet for low-income Americans launches today Posted: 31 Dec 2021 07:56 AM PST  Starting today, eligible US residents can apply for help with their internet bills under the new Affordable Connectivity Program. The program launched today with $14.2 billion from the bipartisan infrastructure law passed in November. Households can apply to take up to $30 a month off their internet service bill. For households on qualifying Tribal lands, the discount is up to $75 per month. The program could help to connect millions of people to the internet who haven't had access to it at home, especially in communities that have historically faced more barriers to getting online. Almost a third of people living on Tribal lands lacked high-speed internet at home in 2017, according to a report by the Federal Communications Commission... |
| The governor of Missouri still doesn’t know how websites work Posted: 31 Dec 2021 07:31 AM PST  Mike Parson, Governor of Missouri, does not understand how websites work. He held a press conference earlier this week in St. Louis to once more reiterate his desire to prosecute a St. Louis Post-Dispatch journalist for looking at the source code of a state-run website. In October 2021 reporter Josh Renaud reported that the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education website source code had exposed the social security numbers of over 100,000 school teachers, administrators, and counselors. He published the story only after he'd reported the problem to the state and the vulnerability had been resolved. Parson and the DESE were apparently not grateful for the alert and immediately accused Renaud of "hacking" the DESE website. Missouri... |

| Apple investigates Indian iPhone plant after workers strike following mass food poisoning Posted: 31 Dec 2021 04:56 AM PST  Apple is sending independent auditors to investigate an iPhone assembly facility in India, after poor working and living conditions at the plant prompted workers to go on strike. The facility in southern India is operated by longtime Apple partner Foxconn. An investigation by Reuters found that women working at the plant were laboring in extremely difficult conditions, forced to sleep on the floor in crowded dorms and sharing toilets without running water. Recently, an outbreak of food poisoning left 150 individuals hospitalized, prompting workers to strike and shut down the plant on December 18th. In response, Apple says it's put the plant on "probation" (though the company hasn't said what this means for Foxconn or the workers who... |
