| ViacomCBS announces partnership with Wattpad to adapt originals Posted: 08 Dec 2021 04:18 PM PST  Wattpad has long been a pipeline bringing content adaptations of stories by emerging writers to streaming services like Netflix and Hulu. Now, ViacomCBS and Wattpad's studio arm are teaming up to spin out a slate of original series from successful titles on Wattpad and Webtoon. Wattpad has been a story springboard for streaming services for years — The Kissing Booth and the After franchises are two notable examples — in part because Wattpad is able to mine a trove of internal data about how readers are interacting with stories and what specific kind of storytelling they return to. That can easily translate to hit franchises for services hungry for new original content, particularly for content that appeals to younger viewers. (After, for... |
| Kickstarter says it’s switching to crowdfunding via the blockchain Posted: 08 Dec 2021 04:04 PM PST  Kickstarter is announcing some big changes to the foundations of its technology. The company said Wednesday that it will support the development of "an open-source protocol that will essentially create a decentralized version of Kickstarter's core functionality," according to a Kickstarter blog post published Wednesday. The protocol will live on a public blockchain and will enable anyone, "even Kickstarter competitors," to build upon or use it, the company says. An independent organization will start the development of the protocol, and Kickstarter will give this group funding, appoint a board, and will be one of the protocol's first clients, the company says. It's also making an "independent governance lab" that oversees "the... |
| Twitter confirms its ‘Project Guardian’ keeps an eye on today’s main character Posted: 08 Dec 2021 03:14 PM PST  Twitter's secretive "Project Guardian" aims to shield controversial characters and users with large followings from an onslaught of trolls and haters, according to a report by Bloomberg. The platform reportedly maintains a list of thousands of users that Twitter deems high risk for harassment, which includes musicians, professional athletes, journalists, and other users who are particularly prominent — even if just for the moment. Bloomberg notes that when Twitter receives a report of an abusive post related to an account on the list, Twitter's content moderation team will respond to that report faster than all the other ones it has lined up. The thinking behind the program is that Twitter can prevent harmful content from spreading, as... |
| Destiny brings back Gjallarhorn, immediately Nerfs it Posted: 08 Dec 2021 03:00 PM PST  In Destiny, the legendary rocket launcher Gjallarhorn was the ultimate weapon for a time. Its ability to create explosions filled with more explosions was unparalleled — and, some would argue, in desperate need of a nerf. Amusingly, Bungie and toymaker Hasbro are now taking that part literally: the Gjallarhorn is now slated to become an official Nerf blaster, complete with Wolfpack Round-like cluster missiles of its own. Destiny 2 just brought the digital Gjallarhorn back this week as part of the $24.99 Bungie 30th Anniversary Pack, and you'll have to pay a lot more than that for the Nerf version, of course — $160, which makes it one of the... |
| Apple’s upcoming macOS 12.1 update will fix the MacBook Pro’s notch and menu bar issues Posted: 08 Dec 2021 02:41 PM PST  Apple's upcoming macOS 12.1 update will fix some odd interactions between its new MacBook Pros' notched displays and menu bar apps, which should no longer be blocked behind the notch, according to MacRumors. Previously, some users had reported issues where menu bar icons could end up getting pushed behind the notch in the event that too many were open. Or, as Apple's changelog describes the issue, prior to macOS 12.1, "[menu] bar extras may be obscured by the camera housing on 2021 MacBook Pro computers."
The bug admittedly was rare to begin with, requiring that users had enough menu bar icons (referred to by... |
| CD Projekt Red is working to settle a class-action lawsuit over botched Cyberpunk 2077 launch Posted: 08 Dec 2021 02:17 PM PST  Cyberpunk 2077 developer CD Projekt Red has entered negotiations to settle a class-action lawsuit over the game's bungled launch. There are still a number of outstanding questions about any potential settlement, according to court documents, including all class certification requirements, the proposed allocation plan for the settlement fund, and how the settlement will be administered. In other words, it's undecided exactly who will be eligible for anything awarded in a settlement or how much those eligible parties may receive. The plaintiffs in the case must next file a preliminary approval of the settlement or an update on its status by January 13th, 2022. Four lawsuits against the company were compiled into one in May. At release... |
| Instagram head says it’s bringing back the chronological feed Posted: 08 Dec 2021 02:12 PM PST  During a hearing before a Senate subcommittee on Wednesday, Instagram head Adam Mosseri said the company is working on a version of its feed that would show users' posts in chronological order, unlike its current ranking algorithm that sorts posts based on user preferences. The company's algorithmically sorted feed, introduced in 2016, and then updated in 2017 to include recommended posts, is widely disliked by users who prefer to have their posts and their friends' posts surface in a timely manner. The current feed uses AI to create what Instagram considers a more personalized feed, based on users' activity. But it has remained generally unpopular among a vast swath of users, despite the company's assertions otherwise. |
| Apple will pay for Jennifer Lawrence to play Elizabeth Holmes in new Theranos film Posted: 08 Dec 2021 01:09 PM PST  Apple says it will produce a movie about former Theranos CEO Elizabeth Holmes, with Jennifer Lawrence of Hunger Games fame in the starring role. The movie, to be directed by Succession creator Adam McKay, will be based on the bestselling book Bad Blood: Secrets and Lies in a Silicon Valley Startup by former Wall Street Journal reporter John Carreyrou. He wrote the first news stories detailing Theranos' problems, even as the company and Holmes were being lauded in Silicon Valley. Holmes is currently on trial facing 11 counts of wire fraud and conspiracy to commit wire fraud after it was discovered that Theranos' blood testing technology didn't meet the standards it claimed to investors. At the time of its unraveling, Theranos was valued... |
| Sony shows off a robot grabber, 4K OLED panels for VR, and more Posted: 08 Dec 2021 12:27 PM PST  Sony's holding its Technology Day event to show off what it's been working on in its R&D labs, and this year, we got some great visuals of tech the company's been working on. Amidst the rehashes of the PS5's haptics and 3D audio and a demo reel of Sony's admittedly awesome displays for making virtual movie sets, we got to see a robot hand that Sony said could figure out grip strength depending on what it was picking up, a slightly dystopian-sounding "global sensing system," and more. Perhaps the most interesting thing Sony showed off was a headset that featured OLED displays with "4K-per-inch" resolution. While the headset Sony used in its presentation was very clearly something intended for lab and prototype use, the specs Sony laid... |
| Amazon’s excellent Smart Thermostat is even more affordable today Posted: 08 Dec 2021 11:55 AM PST  Even without a discount attached to it, Amazon's surprisingly great Smart Thermostat is a good deal in itself. After our reviewer spent a decade testing almost every smart thermostat since the launch of the Nest Learning Thermostat, she found it to be one of the best yet. That's saying a lot, and it's pretty impressive given this is an affordable smart thermostat. The thermostat is discounted for the first time today, selling for $47.99 at Amazon — a 20 percent discount on its typical $59.99. Built in collaboration with Resideo, the makers of Honeywell Home Thermostat Technology, this gadget is capable of learning and adapting to your schedule, just like more expensive thermostats out there. With the price in mind, it does lack some... |
