| Read exactly how Microsoft’s $68.7 billion deal for Activision Blizzard came together Posted: 18 Feb 2022 07:54 PM PST  Microsoft shocked the tech and gaming world on January 18th when it announced it would acquire Activision Blizzard in a $68.7 billion deal, by far the biggest ever in gaming. Activision Blizzard, one of the most storied developers on the planet, had been reeling for months from multiple scandals, including California's lawsuit accusing the company of creating a culture of "constant sexual harassment," an explosive Wall Street Journal report suggesting CEO Bobby Kotick was both aware of that harassment and sexually harassed employees himself, and labor protests from Call of Duty workers. Microsoft's Phil Spencer, at the time the company's Xbox chief, reportedly responded to the accusations from the WSJ article two days later in an email... |
| If iMessage sliced off both ends of your tweets, you’re not alone Posted: 18 Feb 2022 07:15 PM PST  On Thursday, I wrote that Twitter was having a rough February after experiencing issues for the second time in a week, and on Friday, the company was dealing with a strange iMessage bug. If you were on an Apple device and texting a tweet to your buddy on an Apple device, the first and last characters in the tweet wouldn't show up. As reported by 9to5Mac, tweet previews sent via iMessage seemed to be missing the first and last characters of the tweet, making them read oddly. Myself and another Verge writer experienced this bug as well. Here's how Apple's Messages app on my iPhone, Mac, and Apple Watch displayed a tweet I wrote yesterday: |
| Influencers beware: promoting the wrong crypto could mean facing a class-action lawsuit Posted: 18 Feb 2022 07:15 PM PST  The story of BitConnect doesn't include any rapping Forbes bloggers slash money launderers or dubiously-obtained ape JPGs, but this "pyramid-on-Ponzi" case has spawned a court ruling (PDF, embedded below, via @stephendpalley) that should serve as a warning for influencers: they could be held liable for peddling shady crypto investments. In case you've forgotten this particular scam, BitConnect's promoters told its victims that if they handed over their Bitcoin for a period of time, their crypto would be used by an automated trading bot that would return huge profits. None of that was true, and the operators instead paid off older investors with funds from the new ones, bringing in $10 million per week at its peak. All told, the scam... |
| Skype users in the US can now make 911 calls from their computers Posted: 18 Feb 2022 03:48 PM PST  Skype announced this week that its US users can use it to dial 911 from their home computer, and that its software can share their location with emergency services if needed. The US is the latest addition to the list of regions with Skype emergency service calling; until now it was only available in Australia, Denmark, Finland, and the UK. Skype's move to enable 911 calls comes with a few limitations, but could be crucial for users who still have an adequate Internet connection when they lose access to a cellphone or landline in an emergency. In a "Notice & Disclosures" warning that appears before opting in to location-sharing, Skype cautions that the service doesn't operate the same as a traditional phone call. Users are encouraged... |
| Call of Duty now lets you destroy cheaters with your own automatic god mode Posted: 18 Feb 2022 03:13 PM PST  Banning cheaters doesn't always work because they can usually make another account. So games like Call of Duty are increasingly looking for ways to make it less fun for people to exploit their games — and the latest idea gives honest players a cheat of their own. The new "Damage Shield" in Call of Duty Warzone's new Ricochet anti-cheat software makes a cheater's bullets bounce right off you, so you can close in while they hilariously flail around and then destroy them yourself. You can see YouTuber TimTheTatman show it off right here, roughly a minute and 13 seconds into this video: In a blog post announcing the feature, Activision says it only activates "when the server detects a cheater is tampering with the game in real-time," and... |
