Direct-to-customer streaming is now a focus for Disney, and today it took another step in organizing that business by announcing a new CTO for the Disney Streaming business unit that includes Disney Plus, Hulu, ESPN Plus, and Star Plus. Jeremy Doig is a tech industry veteran with several decades of experience including stints with the BBC and Microsoft, and who has worked for Google for the last 18 years. Variety reports that Doig will take over for Joe Inzerillo, who helped build Disney Plus and joined SiriusXM earlier this year.

TweetDeck might become a paid Twitter Blue feature

It's starting to look like the upcoming version of TweetDeck, the power-user-focused version of the Twitter app, won't be free. Security researcher Jane Manchun Wong has discovered a work-in-progress sign-up page for the app, which boasts that it's a "powerful, real-time tool for people who live on Twitter" and offers an ad-free experience.

While the page doesn't explicitly say you'll have to pay Twitter to access TweetDeck, companies don't usually advertise "helps you avoid the thing that makes us money" as a feature of free products (even if, like the current version of TweetDeck, it is). And wouldn't you know it, Twitter's already got a paid subscription service that it's trying to sell to its power users.

I’m done with Wyze

I just threw my Wyze home security cameras in the trash. I'm done with this company.

I just learned that for the past three years, Wyze has been fully aware of a vulnerability in its home security cameras that could have let hackers look into your home over the internet — but chose to sweep it under the rug. And the security firm that found the vulnerability largely let them do it.

Instead of patching it, instead of recalling it, instead of just, you know, saying something so I could stop pointing these cameras at my kids, Wyze simply decided to discontinue the WyzeCam v1 this January without a full explanation. But on Tuesday, security research firm Bitdefender finally shed light on why Wyze stopped selling it: because...

To help bring an end to wrangling with Dutch regulators that stretched over the last several months, today, Apple published a new version of its App Store rules that allow local dating apps to take payments through third-party processors. Until now, its proposals to comply with a December ruling mandating the change had not satisfied the Netherlands Authority for Consumers and Markets (ACM) and earned Apple 50 million euros worth of fines.

Apple previously announced that it would allow dating apps to use alternative payment systems, but it imposed various conditions on how they could do so. Developers would have to submit a separate app binary for the Dutch App Store, and would have to choose between using its in-app payment system or a...

Apple and Meta shared data with hackers pretending to be law enforcement officials

Apple and Meta handed over user data to hackers who faked emergency data request orders typically sent by law enforcement, according to a report by Bloomberg. The slip-up happened in mid-2021, with both companies falling for the phony requests and providing information about users' IP addresses, phone numbers, and home addresses.

Law enforcement officials often request data from social platforms in connection with criminal investigations, allowing them to obtain information about the owner of a specific online account. While these requests require a subpoena or search warrant signed by a judge, emergency data requests don't — and are intended for cases that involve life-threatening situations.

Fake emergency data requests are becoming...

YouTube is finally rolling out picture-in-picture mode for YouTube TV on iOS

YouTube is rolling out a picture-in-picture mode for YouTube TV on iOS devices running iOS 15 or newer, the company announced Wednesday. YouTube chief product officer Neal Mohan promised on The Vergecast that the feature was on the way, and now it's finally here.

With picture-in-picture, you'll be able to keep watching YouTube TV when you navigate away from the YouTube TV app. The feature could come in handy if, for example, you're watching a sports game but want to scroll through Twitter to see reactions to what just happened on the field. It's a feature that's been available on Android for years, so it's good to see that Google has...

Sony’s new PlayStation Plus makes retro games an expensive option

Sony has just announced its new PlayStation Plus subscription tiers, which will be available later this year, and with the new "Extra" and "Premium" levels, you'll get access to back catalogs of many PlayStation games. However, if you want to play classic PS3, PS2, PS1, and PSP games, you'll have to pay for "Premium," the most expensive option, meaning that Sony is joining Nintendo in putting some of its older games behind its highest-cost subscription.

Using a subscription to access classic games isn't new for Sony. For years, the company has offered access to PS4, PS3, and PS2 games as part of PlayStation Now, which is an entirely separate subscription service from PlayStation Plus. But instead of using the Plus shakeup to bring more...

Apple finally lets ‘reader’ apps like Kindle, Netflix, and Spotify link to their own sites

Apple is making good on its promise to let some developers link out to their own sites from within their apps, according to an announcement from the company on Wednesday. The new rules, which go into effect today, let developers of "reader apps" (apps that are primarily meant to provide access to digital content, like Netflix, Kindle, or Spotify) link out to their sites for things like account management or creation.

This should help improve the historically bad user experience for these types of apps caused by Apple's previous rules. Previously, if you downloaded the Netflix app but didn't have an account, Netflix wasn't allowed to give you a link to sign up or tell you where you could go to create an account. That made apps frustrating...

T-Mobile said Wednesday that its shutdown of Sprint's 3G network is proceeding as planned, beginning on March 31st. As part of the shutdown process, the company said in a statement emailed to The Verge, it will migrate customers over the next 60 days "to ensure they are supported and not left without connectivity, and the network will be completely turned off by no later than May 31."

Earlier reports suggested that the actual shutdown date was being pushed to May 31st, which would have been the second delay; originally, T-Mobile was going to phase out the network in January but said in October that it would extend the deadline to March 31st.

As one of the conditions of the T-Mobile / Sprint merger, which closed in 2020, Dish acquired...

WhatsApp is getting better voice messages in the next few weeks

Posted: 30 Mar 2022 10:41 AM PDT

WhatsApp announced on Wednesday that it will roll out some improvements to voice messages over the coming weeks, including the ability to listen to a message while reading other chats and play messages at 1.5 or 2 times speed (yes, please, put this feature everywhere).

The experience of recording messages is also improving. WhatsApp now lets you pause and resume your recording, so you don't have to leave large gaps of silence if you're thinking of what to say next or redo a recording if you need to have a brief conversation in real life. You'll also be able to listen to a message before you send it to make sure you didn't accidentally get cut off or include something you didn't want to.
