| Google might’ve accidentally approved an ad for a Target gift card scam Posted: 15 Jan 2022 04:00 PM PST  Most of us check our gift card balances online (because who actually keeps those receipts that tell us how much money we have left on them?), making an apparent oversight by Google all the worse. It appears that Google inadvertently approved a prominent ad for a phony Target gift card balance checker that's meant to steal your funds. A Reddit user on r/assholedesign discovered the slip-up when searching Google for "Target gift card balance" on mobile, and found that the very first result is an ad, titled "Check Gift Card Balance - Target." Only, the site isn't Target — it's actually a site called "bristolhirevan." The ad's description says it will let you check your gift card balance "immediately," and that it also offers "all van sizes... |
| AT&T, Dish, and T-Mobile spend billions on more 5G spectrum Posted: 15 Jan 2022 12:29 PM PST  AT&T, Dish, and T-Mobile dropped billions of dollars in a Federal Communications Commission (FCC) auction to acquire more 5G spectrum licenses in the midrange 3.45GHz to 3.55GHz band, according to a report by the Wall Street Journal (WSJ). While AT&T was the biggest spender at $9 billion, Dish spent $7.3 billion, and T-Mobile followed behind at $2.9 billion. Verizon was notably absent from the auction. A number of smaller players also made the list, like Three Forty-Five Spectrum, which you can view on Light Reading's site. The auction officially ended in November, but the FCC hasn't publicly disclosed the winning bidders until now (PDF). Total bids... |
| Apple will now require employees to submit proof of COVID-19 booster shot Posted: 15 Jan 2022 09:21 AM PST  Apple now requires store and corporate employees to get a COVID-19 booster shot, the company announced in an internal email seen by The Verge. Once an employee is eligible to get a booster shot, they will have four weeks to comply, otherwise, they will need to take frequent tests to enter a retail store, partner store, or Apple office starting on February 15th. Apple will require unvaccinated employees — or those who haven't yet submitted proof of vaccination — to provide negative COVID-19 rapid antigen tests before entering the workplace beginning on January 24th, although it's unclear whether this applies to both corporate and retail employees. "Due to waning efficacy of the... |
| Apple will let dating apps offer third-party payment options in the Netherlands Posted: 15 Jan 2022 07:41 AM PST  Apple will let dating app developers offer alternate payment options in the Netherlands in compliance with the Dutch regulator's ruling, according to a report from Bloomberg. This will allow dating apps — and only dating apps — distributed in the country to avoid Apple's 15 to 30 percent commission on in-app purchases. In a message to developers on its site, Apple explains that it's introducing two new optional "entitlements," or specific app capabilities, that will let developers add third-party payment processors for dating apps in the Netherlands. Dating app developers can either direct customers to a website to complete their purchase or add a third-party payment service within the app. However, if developers choose to snub Apple's... |
| Yellowjackets has reawakened my inner Lost fan Posted: 15 Jan 2022 07:00 AM PST  For the last few weeks, my mind has been filled with questions that, out of context, make little sense. I've thought long and hard about why a high school girl would start eating dirt and which middle-aged man might be covered in glitter. I've pondered the significance of everything from psychedelic mushrooms to a high school soccer coach's pep talk to a missing bullet in a police officer's gun. I've even rewatched video to see if a state championship-winning goal was offside — and don't get me started on how much I've thought about cannibalism. What I'm saying is: Yellowjackets has completely taken over my brain. I haven't been this obsessed with theorizing about events in a television show since the cast of Lost discovered the hatch. O... |
| How a design museum unearthed a treasure trove of classic Slovak games Posted: 15 Jan 2022 06:30 AM PST  Late last year, the Slovak Design Museum released a translated collection of '80s text adventures from the region. The games, often programmed by teenagers, capture a moment in history when the first generation of Slovak developers were learning their craft to share among their friends. The museum didn't always cover games. Maroš Brojo, the general manager of the Slovak Game Developers Association, pitched the multimedia collection that he now curates. "When you get the patronage of a museum… it gives you much more credibility," he says. "Suddenly, people start to have a very different view of this actually being part of something important. Our culture and our heritage." The 10 games that make up this first batch of translations and... |
| Razer’s excellent Basilisk V3 mouse is selling for its best price ever Posted: 15 Jan 2022 06:00 AM PST  We're starting the weekend with some exciting news for gamers: our pick for the best wired gaming mouse is now available for its lowest price to date. For only the third time, Amazon is selling Razer's Basilisk V3 for just $59.99 instead of $69.99. The comfortable mouse delivers notable improvements over its predecessor, particularly in regards to its scroll wheel. Depending upon how hard your scroll, the mouse can switch between ridged scrolling and free-spin modes, which make it easier to scroll down the page more freely — a perk that comes in handy even if you're not using the mouse for gaming. It also touts a 26K DPI sensor, RGB lighting, and 11 programmable buttons, so you can adjust the controls to your liking within Razer's... |
| Why you might want a secure file-sharing service now that you’re working from home Posted: 15 Jan 2022 05:30 AM PST  When we were all at the office, many of us were connected to the office network. We didn't need to give sharing files much thought. But now that we're scattered across the landscape, securely sharing important files can take careful planning. Here's why you might want to use powerful file-sharing services to share sensitive files safely, so you can collaborate better no matter where you're working. Probably the easiest way to share a file is to just attach a document to an email, or to a Slack or other instant message. But either way invites trouble on several fronts. If you rely too much on your email or messaging system, your poorly archived files could become available to prying hackers with phishing lures. If you're sharing... |
