| Go read former Tesla employees’ experiences with racism in their own words Posted: 25 Mar 2022 05:52 PM PDT  The Los Angeles Times has a great piece that interviews three former Tesla employees about their experiences with racism, discrimination, and retaliation at the company, which is well worth a read. The story acts as a way to contextualize a lawsuit that the automaker is currently facing, where the California Department of Fair Employment and Housing alleges that the company has a "racially segregated workplace." While the experiences described in the lawsuit and in the Times' story are similar (and equally disturbing), being able to read actual interviews helps connect names, faces, and individual experiences to the situation at Tesla's facility in California. The workers have unique... |
| Steam Next Fest kicks off in June and will offer ‘hundreds of demos’ Posted: 25 Mar 2022 04:40 PM PDT  Valve's next Steam Next Fest, an event where players will be able to try out demos of upcoming PC games right from Steam, will take place from June 13th through June 20th, the company has announced. Valve is promising there will be "hundreds of demos" this year, and while it hasn't shared what might be playable for the upcoming event, there were some notable games featured last June, including Sable and Toem. It seems likely that Valve will promote games that are great for the Steam Deck, and hopefully by that time, many more people will have gotten their highly-anticipated reservations. (Sadly, my projected Q3 order availability means I'll very likely miss out, at least when it comes to trying games out for the handheld.) The mid-June... |
| The latest Pixel 6 update turned notification vibrations way down Posted: 25 Mar 2022 03:05 PM PDT  This may sound familiar, but there's something wrong with the latest software update for Google's Pixel 6 phones. As Google tweaks the version of Android it distributes to phones running its custom Tensor chip, there have been some odd issues, but instead of problems with Wi-Fi or a slow thumbprint scanner, this time, it's affecting another key feature: notifications. They still pop up on the phone just as regularly, but for some reason, the strength of the vibration is now significantly weaker than it was before. I've had my phone's sounds set to silent for years, so any difference in the notification buzz is immediately an issue. It's also noticeably softer for incoming calls, and some... |
| Where is Fitbit’s Wear OS watch? Posted: 25 Mar 2022 02:05 PM PDT  2022 is going to be a big year for Wear OS. Google's rumored to be making its own Pixel Watch (again). Older Wear OS 2 watches are expected to finally make the transition to Wear OS 3. Samsung's promised that Google Assistant will be coming to its Galaxy Watch 4 in the "coming months." But there's something notably missing from this Wear OS lineup: Fitbit. Since Google and Samsung first announced their partnership at last year's Google I/O, Fitbit CEO James Park hasn't been coy. He's said multiple times that a premium Fitbit smartwatch running Wear OS was in the works. This year will be the one where Wear OS 3 debuts on a wider scale. It would've been stellar timing to unveil a Wear OS Fitbit. However, a 9to5Google report notes that... |
| Video game history is colliding: Sierra founders are bringing a seminal text adventure game to VR Posted: 25 Mar 2022 01:58 PM PDT  Ken and Roberta Williams, two of the most influential figures in video game history, are bringing the original 1976 text adventure Colossal Cave Adventure to virtual reality, as well as Mac and Windows PC. It sounds pretty straightforward when I put it like that, right? And then I remind you that the game in question looked like this: And then I remind you that Roberta and Ken have been retired for the past 25 years. And then I remind you that — while Roberta and Ken made King's Quest and Phantasmagoria AND are credited with the first graphical adventure game ever in Mystery Quest AND founded... |
| Gran Turismo 7’s developers apologize for the grind, promise fixes and a million free credits Posted: 25 Mar 2022 01:01 PM PDT  Gran Turismo 7 developer Polyphony Digital is apologizing for the changes recently introduced to the game's economy and is promising improvements, along with a million free credits. These changes come after the game had a massive outage last week, which was the result of an update that also made changes to how players could earn credits by actually playing the game rather than through microtransactions. In a post on the PlayStation Blog, Polyphony president Kazunori Yamauchi apologized for "the frustration and confusion caused last week with our patch updates which resulted in, not only a server outage but also adjustments to the in-game economy which were made without a clear explanation to our community." As a "goodwill gesture," the... |
| Google Fiber contractors vote to join union Posted: 25 Mar 2022 12:37 PM PDT  A group of workers for a Google Fiber subcontractor in Missouri has voted to unionize, the first of its kind at Google's parent company Alphabet. The votes were counted Friday in a Zoom hearing with the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB). The workers are employees of Google contractor BDS Connected Solutions, a staffing agency in Kansas City. Ten of the 11 workers signed union cards in January to organize under the purview of the Alphabet Workers Union (AWU), which is part of the larger Communication Workers of America union. On Friday, the official count found there were nine votes in favor of joining the union, with one vote against. The AWU will be a members-only union, representing those workers who join voluntarily, rather than... |
| Bloodborne Kart is a new fan project from the makers of the PSX demake Posted: 25 Mar 2022 11:54 AM PDT  Bloodborne's seventh anniversary was earlier this week, and even though FromSoftware lets fans languish without a PC port, Lilith Walther — creator of the popular Bloodborne PSX demake — continues to keep the community fed, watered, and loved with her new fan project: Bloodborne Kart.
Bloodborne Kart seems to be exactly what the name implies: a Bloodborne kart racer. It has the same graphics and overall vibe of the PSX demake, but instead of felling foul beasts, the Hunter will now get the opportunity to roam the streets of Yharnam and possibly beyond on a sweet-ass motorcycle. I'm hoping there will be the opportunity... |
| Bose’s noise-canceling QuietComfort Earbuds are more than $50 off today Posted: 25 Mar 2022 11:44 AM PDT  If you have yet to pick up a decent pair of true wireless earbuds, you can still buy the Bose QuietComfort Earbuds at Adorama and Amazon for $219.99 instead of $279.99, one of the lowest prices we've seen on these earbuds since Black Friday. There's no shortage of noise-canceling earbuds available right now; however, we think these are worth your attention thanks to their excellent sound quality, impressive fit, and wireless — albeit, bulky — charging case. Even with newer options available like the Sony WF-1000XM4 and Samsung Galaxy Buds 2, we still count these among some of the best wireless earbuds you can buy, especially if superb noise cancellation is what you're after. Read our review. If you're looking for a solid discount on... |
| Googling ‘March Madness’ still defaults to men’s games Posted: 25 Mar 2022 11:17 AM PDT  Sweet Sixteen games in this year's March Madness tip off tonight and tomorrow — all exciting games (like reigning national champions Stanford vs. Maryland) and one that is going to be deeply stressful for me personally (Connecticut vs. Indiana — go Huskies). You'd be forgiven for thinking that the games started yesterday, though. As of this writing, searching "sweet sixteen march madness" pulls up a schedule box for the men's tournament, which did have that round start yesterday. The women's games are relegated to a ribbon at the bottom. This is the first year that the women's college basketball tournament is able to use the high-profile March Madness branding. The change came after an uproar over the embarrassingly inequitable... |
