Twitter’s new CEO wants the company to move a lot faster

The new CEO of Twitter, Parag Agrawal, has a clear message: expect the social network to move a lot faster than it has in the past.

In his first public appearance since taking the reins of Twitter from co-founder Jack Dorsey, Agrawal says his top priority is "improving our execution" and streamlining how Twitter operates. His comments, made at the Barclays technology conference, come after activist investor Elliott Management shook up Twitter's board of directors last year and pressured Dorsey to step down from his part-time CEO role. Dorsey remains the CEO of Block (formally called Square).

Despite being Twitter's CEO for only nine days, Agrawal has already made big changes...

An Amazon server outage caused problems for Alexa, Ring, Disney Plus, and deliveries

Problems with some Amazon Web Services cloud servers are causing slow loading or failures for significant chunks of the internet. Amazon's widespread network of data centers powers many of the things you interact with online, including this website, so as we've seen in previous AWS outage incidents, any problem has massive rippling effects. People started noticing problems at around 10:45AM ET, and just after 6PM ET the AWS Status showed "Many services have already recovered, however we are working towards full recovery across services."

While some affected services that rely on AWS have been restored, the internet is still a bit...

Microsoft rolls out Notepad with dark mode for Windows 11 Insiders

Microsoft is testing a redesign of its venerable Notepad app, adding some welcomed modern features like a dark mode, a better search / find and replace interface, better undoing, and more.

While the visual updates like the addition of dark mode, updated right-click menu, and Windows' new theme-adopting material are nice, the functional updates will probably be the biggest upgrade to anyone who actually writes in Notepad. In the current version of the app that ships with Windows 11, the text search tool and the find and replace tool are two different pop-up windows, accessed by two different keyboard shortcuts. The redesign combines them into one floating bar instead of something that looks like it's from the XP era.

Your LG TV can now play Google Stadia if it’s running webOS 5.0 or later

Posted: 07 Dec 2021 04:00 PM PST

Have a gamepad handy and a recent LG TV? You can likely now try Google's Stadia cloud gaming platform — as of today, it's an app you can download for your television running webOS 5.0 or webOS 6.0 (read: likely 2020 models or later) in any of the 22 countries that Google covers. You'll find it in the LG app store on your TV.

LG promised that both Google Stadia and Nvidia's rival GeForce Now cloud gaming service would arrive on its TVs in 2021, and the company's made it under the wire — GeForce Now arrived in beta in mid-November. Previously, most Stadia-supported TVs ran some version of Android TV.

Both Stadia and GeForce Now are free to try with a basic account — though they're not necessarily equal. We were blown away by GeForce Now's...

Don’t Look Up is an absurdist mirror of our reality — before it just becomes a regular mirror

Don't Look Up

For a goofy satire about a comet destroying the planet, Don't Look Up sure takes you on an emotional journey. The film — helmed by writer and director Adam McKay, best-known for movies like Step Brothers and Anchorman — starts out hilarious, with big-name stars trading one-liners amid an impending apocalypse. But over its lengthy runtime, it slowly morphs into something else. Laughs give way to anger, frustration, and ultimately a kind of desperate hope. It's a trajectory that serves as an eerie mirror to the last two years of pandemic life — just don't go in expecting lighthearted fun.

Don't Look Up doesn't waste any time getting going. It starts out with a pair of Michigan State astronomers, Randall (Leonardo DiCaprio) and Kate...

After game designer and author Jane McGonigal sent her Pixel 5a to Google for repair, someone allegedly took and hacked her device. This is at least the second report in as many weeks from someone claiming they sent a Google phone in for repair, only to have it used to leak their private data and photographs. McGonigal posted a detailed account of the situation on Twitter on Saturday and advised other users not to send their phones in for repair with the company.

The Meta (formerly Facebook) Portal is getting a number of updates, including one that lets you browse through your Facebook friends' stories hands-free, as detailed in a post on the About Facebook blog. You can access the feature by saying, "Hey Portal, show me Stories."

In addition to Stories, you can now ask the Facebook Assistant to display recent Facebook posts, responses, and photos. Previously, there wasn't any native support for Facebook, as it was only accessible through a web browser.

And while the Portal could always take pictures of you during a call, it never had a feature that let you capture images of your friends or...

5G now means some flights won’t be able to land when pilots can’t see the runway

Verizon and AT&T are hoping new swaths of C-band cellular radio spectrum will help make the 5G hype closer to reality, but the big mid-band 5G rollout may have a side effect. Airplanes rely on radio altimeters to tell how high they are above the ground to safely land when pilots can't see, and the FAA is now instructing 6,834 of them to not do that at certain airports because of 5G interference.

The FAA ruled on Tuesday that those thousands of US planes (and some helicopters) won't be able to use many of the guided and automatic landing systems that are designed to work in poor visibility conditions, if they're landing at an airport where there's deemed to be enough interference that their altimeters aren't reliable. "Landings during...
