| Super Pumped gets a new, longer teaser with more Uber shenanigans Posted: 10 Jan 2022 05:27 PM PST  There's a new teaser for the first season of Super Pumped, Showtime's upcoming anthology show about Silicon Valley startups that hit it big. As we saw in the teaser from December, season one will revolve around Uber and its former CEO Travis Kalanick, played by Joseph Gordon-Levitt. The show's first story will be based on the book that's also named Super Pumped, which was written by New York Times reporter Mike Issac. It'll follow the, in the trailer's words, "wild, loud, cocky, shady, reckless, excessive, ridiculous, damaging, outrageous" story of Uber's founder, who resigned from his role as CEO in 2017 after investors demanded change following a series of controversies. This new trailer contains some quotable moments, including one... |
| Halo Infinite is getting a hotfix for the game’s epic but frustrating 12-player matchmaking Posted: 10 Jan 2022 05:20 PM PST  Having trouble connecting to a big game of Halo Infinite multiplayer with a bunch of your friends in the game's 12-person Big Team Battle mode? That will hopefully soon be a thing of the past: developer 343 says it's not only aware, it believes it has "a fix in hand for the core issue" and will release a special hotfix specifically for it. "It's a little too soon to give an ETA yet but please know our goal is to release this as soon as we can," write the developers in an official blog post," adding that "It won't be this week, but we hope it's not too much further out and we'll share an update as soon as we have line of sight on a release date (once we clear 'cert' we are then ready to ship)." Halo Infinite is the best thing that's... |
| Meta will require employees to have a COVID-19 booster to return to the office Posted: 10 Jan 2022 05:09 PM PST  Meta, the parent company of Facebook, will require staffers to have received a COVID-19 booster shot to be able to work from its US offices, as reported by The Wall Street Journal. Meta had already said that US office employees would have to be vaccinated against COVID-19 when they returned to the office, but beginning March 28th, they'll also need proof of a booster vaccine, Meta spokesperson Tracy Clayton confirmed to The Verge. The company is also delaying its full office reopening until March 28th, pushing back a return that had been previously set for the end of this month. Not all Meta employees will have to return to the office on March 28th. Those who want to come back can defer their return by three to five months, a policy that... |
| Google exec says Apple is ‘holding back’ customers who text Posted: 10 Jan 2022 04:03 PM PST  On Saturday, Android boss Hiroshi Lockheimer accused Apple of "using peer pressure and bullying as a way to sell products," after a Wall Street Journal report revealed how US teens have turned Apple's iMessage into a social status symbol that locks Android users out. Now, Lockheimer is taking a slightly less abrasive stance: the Google executive said Monday that "we're not asking Apple to make iMessage available on Android. We're asking Apple to support the industry standard for modern messaging (RCS) in iMessage, just as they support the older SMS / MMS standards."

| The Associated Press is starting its own NFT marketplace for photojournalism Posted: 10 Jan 2022 03:59 PM PST  The Associated Press, or AP, has announced that it's starting a marketplace to sell NFTs of its photojournalists' work in collaboration with a company called Xooa. It's billing its foray into NFTs as a way for collectors to "purchase the news agency's award-winning contemporary and historic photojournalism" and says that the virtual tokens will be released at "broad and inclusive price points" (though it's hard to tell what types of prices resellers will want on the AP marketplace). The news outlet says its system will be built on the "environmentally friendly" Polygon blockchain and that the NFTs will "include a rich set of original metadata" to tell buyers when, where, and how the photos were taken. It says its first collection,... |
| LAPD officers fired for catching a Snorlax instead of a burglar denied appeal Posted: 10 Jan 2022 03:34 PM PST  Two LAPD officers who were fired from their jobs in 2017 for playing Pokémon Go while on duty have had their appeal for reinstatement denied by a California judge. The officers' squad car video camera showed the two officers, Louis Lozano and Eric Mitchell, ignored a request for backup to play the game, according to court documents. The pair were stationed near a robbery in progress, and after the responding officers put out a call for backup, Lozano and Mitchell seemingly ignored the call and left the area. When asked later why they hadn't responded to the call, the two officers said they were in a loud area and couldn't hear their radio. Lozano and Mitchell's supervisor was skeptical of their explanation and checked the in-car... |
| T-Mobile appears to be blocking some iPhone users from turning on Private Relay Posted: 10 Jan 2022 03:21 PM PST  T-Mobile appears to be blocking some iPhone users from enabling iCloud Private Relay, a feature that lets you hide the websites you visit from third parties, according to a report from 9to5Mac.
Private Relay is still in beta in iOS 15 and iPadOS 15, and it isn't turned on by default. You have to go into your iPhone's settings to switch it on, which is where some T-Mobile customers have noticed a strange message popping up. As shown in the above tweet, the user is presented with the message, "Your cellular plan doesn't support iCloud Private Relay. With Private Relay turned... |
| Why Take-Two wants to pay nearly $13 billion for the maker of FarmVille Posted: 10 Jan 2022 01:47 PM PST  Take-Two Interactive just announced its intent to buy FarmVille developer Zynga for $12.7 billion in what could be the biggest acquisition in video game history. It's an absolutely massive deal; to put it in perspective, the acquisition would be $5 billion more than Microsoft's $7.5 billion purchase of the parent company of Skyrim maker Bethesda Softworks. You could throw in the money Disney paid for Lucasfilm and still have cash left over. So what is Take-Two getting for its money? Yes, big Zynga games like FarmVille, Words With Friends, and High Heels! will join Take-Two's own roster of franchises that includes Grand Theft Auto, NBA 2K, and Civilization. But perhaps more importantly, Take-Two will now be able to use Zynga's expertise... |
| Uber is the latest popular app to bail on the Apple Watch Posted: 10 Jan 2022 01:44 PM PST  Uber has quietly shut down its Apple Watch app, with the software now showing a message that instructs people to "please switch to the Uber mobile app." The company is "no longer supporting the Apple Watch app," according to the text, which ends with Uber apologizing for any inconvenience caused by the app's discontinuation. There's also a sad face emoji to drive that sentiment home. As noted by MacRumors, Uber hasn't yet removed the Apple Watch app from its App Store listing, where it still gets its own tab and screenshots. Presumably, that will all be history once the company releases its next update to the iOS app. The Verge has reached out to Uber for more details, and if I had to guess, the company is likely to cite low usage as... |
| SEC charges ‘decentralized’ Amazon Web Services competitor with scamming investors Posted: 10 Jan 2022 01:38 PM PST  The US Securities and Exchange Commission has charged the would-be creator of a "decentralized" Amazon Web Services alternative with scamming investors out of millions. The SEC announced a complaint on Friday against Australian citizen Craig Sproule, the CEO of cryptocurrency startup Crowd Machine, which promised a global cloud computing network built on users' computers. In reality, Sproule allegedly sent $5.8 million to South African gold mines as investors' cryptocurrency tokens became worthless. An SEC complaint says that Sproule collected at least $33 million through an initial coin offering (or ICO) to build a decentralized "Crowd Computer" platform, which he claimed was "battle-tested" by Fortune 500 companies. He compared the... |
