Google launches Ripple, an open standard that could bring tiny radars to Ford cars and more

Posted: 07 Jan 2022 07:10 PM PST

Google has been publicly building tiny radar chips since 2015. They can tell you how well you sleep, control a smartwatch, count sheets of paper, and let you play the world's tiniest violin. But the company's Soli radar hasn't necessarily had commercial success, most prominently featuring in an ill-fated Pixel phone. Now, Google has launched an open-source API standard called Ripple that could theoretically bring the tech to additional devices outside Google — perhaps even a car, as Ford is one of the participants in the new standard.

Technically, Ripple is under the auspices of the Consumer Technology Association (CTA), the same industry body that hosts the CES tradeshow in Las Vegas each January, but there's little question who's...

Netflix is developing an anime adaptation of the Scott Pilgrim graphic novel series, according to a report from The Hollywood Reporter. The adaptation doesn't have a series order yet, THR says, and there aren't any details about when it could hit the streaming service.

Bryan Lee O'Malley, who created the Scott Pilgrim graphic novels, one of the writers and executive producers for the adaptation, reports THR. Edgar Wright, who directed the 2010 film Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, will also reportedly be serving as an executive producer. If the series gets the green light, animation would be done by the animation studio Science Saru, which produced two shorts for the Star Wars: Visions anime anthology released in September.

Amazon workers will now get only a week of COVID PTO

Amazon has changed its PTO policy for workers forced to quarantine, as reported by CNBC and the Wall Street Journal. The policy has shrunk to one week (or 40 hours) off, down from its initial length of 14 days, which is still mentioned on an Amazon hiring page (via Engadget) but had already been shortened to ten days. Engadget's report includes an excerpt of Amazon's notice to employees about the change, citing the CDC's updated recommendations that people who have tested positive for COVID should isolate for five days, as long as their symptoms are gone.

Amazon isn't alone in changing its policies along with the federal government. As Engadget points out, Walmart has also cut down the number of PTO hours employees who contract COVID...

Elon Musk says Tesla is raising the price of its ‘full self driving’ software to $12k

Tesla CEO Elon Musk says the company is raising the price of its "full self driving" (FSD) software to $12,000. Musk tweeted Friday that the new price, which is an increase of $2,000, will take effect January 17th for customers "only in the US." He said the monthly subscription price of $199 for FSD would rise as the software got closer to wide release.

Tesla began testing FSD in beta in October of 2020 — when it was priced at $8,000 — with a select group of customers. Tesla increased the price of FSD to $10,000 shortly after. The software does not make Tesla vehicles fully autonomous; Musk himself said during a 2019 earnings call that Teslas with FSD are "able to drive from one's house to work, most likely without interventions. So it...

California appeals decision regarding Activision Blizzard settlement

Posted: 07 Jan 2022 04:03 PM PST

Activision Blizzard's legal troubles just took another potential turn. The California Department of Fair Employment and Housing (DFEH) is appealing a judge's decision that denies it from intervening in the $18 million settlement between the game developer and the US Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), according to a document filed Friday.

Activision Blizzard and the EEOC settled a lawsuit regarding the developer's allegedly toxic culture in September, establishing a consent decree that included Activision Blizzard creating an $18 million settlement fund to compensate employees. This case is separate from the DFEH's lawsuit against Activision Blizzard filed in July, which is ongoing.

In October, however, the DFEH filed a...

Ford’s e-scooter company is pulling out of any city that doesn’t limit competition

Spin, the e-scooter company owned by Ford, announced a major restructuring Friday where it will pull out of "nearly all open permit markets." More specifically, Spin is beginning to exit "a few" US markets, Germany, and Portugal, and it is "projecting" to close down in Spain as soon as February.

Moving forward, Spin says it will focus on "limited vendor markets," where only a designated number of scooter companies are allowed to compete in a location, in the US, Canada, and the UK. Spin sees "double the revenue per vehicle" in limited vendor markets, according to Ben Bear, Spin's CEO.

"This decision to restructure impacts roughly a quarter of our staff," Bear said,...

Thinking about picking up a new Apple Watch to help you achieve your New Year's fitness goals? It might be tempting to order one of the new Series 7 models, but new Apple hardware always comes at a premium. Apple's latest wearable offers a slightly larger display and some improvements to durability but is largely the same Apple Watch we're familiar with.

Thankfully, each Apple Watch model offers ample functionality and has seen its fair share of discounts over the last year. So which ones should you consider if you're in the market for Apple's popular smartwatch while trying to shop smarter?

There are currently four Apple Watch models to choose from, all of which support watchOS 8. The highest-end is the Apple Watch Series 7, which...

Satechi’s new charger provides 165W to four ports and has a cute stand

Satechi has announced a charger with some interesting specs: it has four USB-C ports capable of supplying 165 watts of power at once, and it will sell for $120. It's capable of pumping out 100W of power for a single device and can even do that while charging one or two other devices, depending on the power they draw.

That's impressive, given that the 120W Anker brick we wrote about last month (which also had four ports) wasn't capable of doing the same — it could only charge at a 60W / 30W / 20W split, where the Satechi can do 100W / 30W / 30W. It can also provide two devices with 60W and give the third 45W if you're more into charging a few lighter-weight computers at a time — for example, maybe a 13-inch MacBook Pro, a Chromebook, and...
