Sony and Honda plan to make electric vehicles together

Posted: 03 Mar 2022 10:38 PM PST

Sony and Honda are planning to form a new company to design and sell electric vehicles together. The venture hasn't been finalized just yet, but the two companies have signed a memorandum of understanding that states their intent. The as-yet unnamed new company is expected to be formed this year, with sales of the first EV model planned for 2025.

Honda will manufacture the first model, with the new company handing the vehicle's design, development, and sales, and Sony set to develop a mobility service platform. The partnership is intended to combine Honda's expertise in making and marketing cars with Sony's capabilities in image sensors, telecommunications, and entertainment.

"Sony's purpose is to 'fill the world with emotion through...

Osom, the company formed by Essential's employees after the startup went under, has released new details about its upcoming OV1 phone, including a very familiar list of build materials. Meant to compete with flagships from Apple, Google, and Samsung, the OV1 will have a stainless steel and titanium housing, a ceramic back, Corning Victus cover glass, and a Qualcomm processor.

The stainless steel is for the phone's frame, while titanium will be used for accents like the power and volume buttons as well as the ring around the camera bump, according to Android Police. It sounds like the phone will have a heft to it — Osom says the OV1 will be "noticeably bigger" than the Essential Phone, which had razor-thin bezels and a 5.7-inch screen....

Google tests an even darker ‘dark mode’ for its Android app

Google's testing a darker dark mode for its Android search app (via Android Police), according to 9to5Google. This new shade still isn't the same as the one presented in Google's test of a pitch-black dark mode on desktops last month. Rather, the one spotted in the mobile app is darker than the usual dark gray but still lighter than pitch black. I momentarily had the pitch-black search page on desktop, but shortly after, it switched back to dark gray.

The new dark mode in Google's mobile app could be more attractive for devices with OLED displays looking to save battery life, or who just prefer to use dark mode more. Android Police said that the new shade is available Google's latest 13.8 beta in the Google Play Store which you can get v...

Apple is beginning to change its mask requirements for employees, according to Bloomberg. Vaccinated corporate staffers will not have to wear a mask at offices where "local indoor-mask mandates have been eliminated," while masks will be optional for retail workers at "a small number of locations" beginning Friday, the publication says.

Just last week, Apple began to drop mask requirements for Apple store customers in several states. At the time, employees were still required to wear masks, but it appears Apple is beginning to relax those rules for some. Apple had previously dropped mask requirements for some stores and offices in June, but brought them back in July.

Apple didn't immediately reply to a request for comment from The Verge.

Twitter will be fully re-opening its offices and bringing back business travel starting on March 15th, according to a post written by CEO Parag Agrawal. In his note (see the full text below), Agrawal reiterates the policy put into place by former Twitter lead Jack Dorsey, saying that employees will be allowed to work remotely full-time if that's what they're comfortable with.

While Agrawal says that he wants Twitter employees to work wherever they "feel most productive and creative" and that the company is committed to "truly flexible work," his statement does lean a lot on the benefits of office work. It mentions how difficult distributed work is while also saying that "office visits, team meetings, and events all bring that culture to...

Clean energy just had a record-setting year in the US, but without a drastic shift in policies, oil and gas will continue to dominate the US energy sector for the next three decades, according to two new energy reports released today.

The Energy Information Administration's (EIA) annual energy outlook forecast that the US, the world's top producer of oil and gas, will continue to produce record amounts of crude oil and gas through 2050 if it continues down its current path. Petroleum and gas will also continue to be the country's "most-consumed" sources of energy through the middle of the century unless something changes. "Though renewable sources grow faster, there is still a large established base of fossil fuel use that we simply do...

A telecoms blackout has reportedly hit Sumy Oblast in northeastern Ukraine, marking one of the most serious communications disruptions of the conflict so far.

The blackout was reported by the internet shutdown tracker NetBlocks on March 3rd at 8:23PM local time (1:23PM ET).

NetBlocks said that residents had reported massive blasts at a thermal power plant and electrical substation. A power outage tracker monitoring the region also said that it was no longer receiving data for Sumy Oblast.

Sumy Oblast is one of 24 administrative regions, known as "oblasts," that make up Ukraine and has a population of roughly one million people.

The US government's New Car Assessment Program (NCAP), also known as the five-star safety rating, is getting a major update. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) announced Thursday a set of new proposals for the federal program aimed at curbing the surge in pedestrian deaths.

For the first time, NHTSA will consider the inclusion of advanced driver-assistance system (ADAS — sorry for all the acronyms!) features, like automatic emergency braking, blind-spot detection, and lane-keep assistance. These ADAS features, which are quickly becoming standard in most vehicles today, could become essential criteria for a five-star safety rating from the government.

Traditionally, NHTSA assigns safety ratings to new cars and...

Twitch has a new policy that will ban ‘harmful misinformation superspreaders’

Twitch said Thursday it will ban users who repeatedly spread harmful misinformation on its platform. The streaming site said the new rules won't apply to users based on "individual statements or discussions" on a channel but to users "whose online presence is dedicated to (1) persistently sharing (2) widely disproven and broadly shared (3) harmful misinformation topics," the new policy states. Twitch considers such users "harmful misinformation superspreaders."

The company chose those three criteria because, when grouped together, they "create the highest risk of harm including inciting real world harm," according to a blog post outlining the new policy.

Twitch stressed in the blog post that the update "will likely not impact you or...
