| The Google One VPN is now available on iPhones Posted: 01 Feb 2022 10:51 AM PST  The VPN service that's included with a Google One Premium subscription is finally available on iPhones after Google's promise in October 2020 that it would come to iOS. While a Google-run VPN has been available on the platform for months via the Google Fi cell service, today's update means that anyone who pays for 2TB or more of Google One storage should now also get a VPN for their phone. The VPN is available to people in 18 countries, including the US, UK, Canada, and Mexico. iPhone users may be familiar with the idea of an upgraded storage plan that also comes with a way to keep your IP and internet traffic private — Apple includes its Private Relay service in all of its paid iCloud plans. |
| Coachella will sell lifetime festival passes as NFTs Posted: 01 Feb 2022 10:00 AM PST  Coachella is selling lifetime festival passes for the first time — but you have to buy an NFT to get one. The music festival today launched an NFT marketplace built by FTX, with three collections of NFTs going on sale on February 4th. The company will auction the Coachella Keys Collection, a group of 10 NFTs that allow holders lifetime tickets to the festival. Owners of the token will get passes to Coachella every year, plus "access to Coachella-produced virtual experiences forever." NFT purchases also include special perks at the 2022 festival like front row access and a celebrity chef dinner. That the festival is dipping into the NFT craze is perhaps unsurprising — in November, Coachella parent company AEG renamed the Staples Center... |
| Big Tech drove record clean energy purchases in 2021 Posted: 01 Feb 2022 09:22 AM PST  Tech companies drove a surge in corporate purchases of clean energy last year, according to a new analysis by BloombergNEF. Overall, corporations bought a record 31.1 GW of clean energy in 2021, equivalent to more than 10 percent of all new renewable energy capacity added worldwide that year. Over half of the power purchase agreements for clean energy made by corporations were signed by tech giants, including Amazon, Microsoft, Meta, and Google. Agreements with utilities or developers to purchase enough clean power to match annual electricity use are one strategy that companies use to claim they are running their operations on 100 percent clean energy. In reality, that clean energy usually isn't flowing directly into corporate offices... |

| Google adds National Domestic Violence Hotline to search results Posted: 01 Feb 2022 09:02 AM PST  Google search results for domestic violence-related topics now show a box with contact information for the National Domestic Violence Hotline, the tech giant and the hotline announced today. Searching terms like "domestic violence" and "boyfriend hit me" in the United States generates the box, which includes the phone number for the hotline, a direct link to the online chat services, and a direct link to place a call. "This will help survivors, especially those in crisis, get the information and connection to the 24/7 support they need quickly and with less scrolling," said Crystal Justice, chief external affairs officer at The National Domestic Violence Hotline, in a blog post. |
| Cruise launches public waitlist for its robotaxis in San Francisco Posted: 01 Feb 2022 09:00 AM PST  Cruise, the self-driving company backed by General Motors and Honda, announced a public waitlist for its robotaxi service in San Francisco. It's a significant step for the company that has previously been beset by delays in its quest to get paying customers into its autonomous ride-hailing vehicles. The rides will be free to start out, as Cruise has yet to be approved to accept paid rides. The company, which has previously only allowed employees to ride in its autonomous vehicles, says it has tested the waters with a few of its first non-employee customers, including GM CEO Mary Barra, as well as a few non-employees. According to Cruise:

| The EARN IT Act is back in Congress Posted: 01 Feb 2022 08:46 AM PST  Senators Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) and Lindsey Graham (R-SC) have reintroduced the EARN IT Act, a bill that would undercut Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act. The EARN IT Act is described as an incentive for social media services to crack down on child sexual abuse material (or CSAM) online. While the bill's text wasn't immediately released, a summary indicates it's similar to a proposal that passed the Senate Judiciary Committee last year. That bill limited the typically broad protections that Section 230 grants "interactive computer services" against being sued over user-generated content, adding special conditions for material that runs afoul of CSAM laws. The original EARN IT Act's sponsors touted endorsements from the... |
| The Joe Rogan controversy is what happens when you put podcasts behind a wall Posted: 01 Feb 2022 08:00 AM PST  This story originally ran in Hot Pod, The Verge's preeminent audio industry newsletter. You can subscribe here for more scoops, analysis, and reporting. Spotify didn't discover Joe Rogan, and Joe Rogan didn't create Spotify, but their union portends the future of a closed podcasting ecosystem. Up until September 2020, The Joe Rogan Experience was available through RSS feeds, YouTube, and podcast players. His content bubbled up every so often, but broadly, Rogan did his show, and the various distribution platforms let him do so without having to worry and monitor every episode — if it infringed on a policy, it could be removed, and so it went. This is the world in which Rogan stans and haters can find common ground. Rogan could have been... |
| Destiny 2: The Witch Queen’s new weapons and gear look super powerful Posted: 01 Feb 2022 07:50 AM PST  Hot off the heels of Sony's Bungie acquisition news, Bungie is in full teaser mode for Destiny 2: The Witch Queen. The latest Destiny 2 expansion launches on February 22nd, and it's set to include a trio of new exotic weapons. Destiny 2 already has some incredibly unique weapons, but these three look like they will up the ante. First up is the Grand Overture, a slug launcher that charges full auto missiles at enemies. It appears to be similar to what the Scorn enemies use in Destiny 2 and will act like a machine gun with explosive projectiles (think Wardcliff) to wipe out hoards of Hive. Where things really start to get interesting is the new Parasite... |
