| Tone-deaf Samsung ad is a reminder that smartwatch safety still has a ways to go Posted: 29 Apr 2022 09:15 AM PDT  Samsung is under fire for a recent ad depicting a woman wearing a Galaxy Watch 4 and Galaxy Buds running alone in the middle of a city at 2AM. Critics have called the ad both "unrealistic" and "tone-deaf" in the wake of the murder of Ashling Murphy, a 23 year old who was killed while running in January in Dublin, Ireland. The ad is oblivious to the dangers of nighttime running, but that makes sense since many smartwatch makers don't seem to understand how their limited safety features may fail runners. Samsung has since apologized for the ad, telling BBC Radio 1 that it hadn't intended to "be insensitive to ongoing conversations around women's safety" and that "the 'Night Owls' campaign was designed with a positive message in mind: to... |
| BioWare contractors want a union Posted: 29 Apr 2022 09:07 AM PDT  A group of contractors supporting EA-owned BioWare is trying to unionize. Part of the reason is because they'll be required to return to the office, even while full-time BioWare employees who work at the same location are being offered a hybrid work from home option, two employees told The Verge. The organizing group is employed by Keywords Studios, a company that offers services like quality assurance testing and localization for game development companies. One employee expects the unit will consist of between 15 and 20 individuals. These Keywords employees are embedded directly with BioWare's team at the company's office in Edmonton, Canada, and have worked on titles like Mass Effect Legendary Edition, the newest Star Wars: The Old... |
| 16 states sue to block USPS plan to buy hundreds of thousands of gas-guzzling mail trucks Posted: 29 Apr 2022 08:50 AM PDT  Sixteen states as well as several prominent climate activists sued the United States Postal Service this week over its plan to purchase 148,000 gas-guzzling delivery trucks over the next decade, alleging the agency failed to consider the environmental impact of its decision. The states accuse the USPS of only performing a "cursory environmental review to justify the decision to replace 90 percent of its delivery fleet with fossil fuel-powered, internal combustion engine vehicles, despite other available, environmentally preferable alternatives," the lawsuit reads. "In doing so, the Postal Service failed to comply with even the most basic requirements of [National Environmental Policy Act]." The lawsuit was filed in the US District Court... |

| How to run the Red Dead Redemption 2 benchmark Posted: 29 Apr 2022 08:00 AM PDT  One of the games we often use to test gaming laptops and PCs here at The Verge is Red Dead Redemption 2. It's a popular, demanding game that includes a wide range of effects and scenery, from snowy blizzards to sandy roads and dynamic gunfights. Its benchmark is easy to use and can help you see how well your PC can run demanding games and which settings it can handle. First, you need to get the game if you don't already have it. To do that:
Once the game is downloaded, open it to get started. How to run the Red Dead Redemption 2 benchmark

| Startup Trail is Oregon Trail for tech policy wonks Posted: 29 Apr 2022 08:00 AM PDT  My startup went public, and it only took me about 25 minutes to pull it off. I don't remember what the company does, though I don't think it really matters? I own 16 percent of the place, but after I made some rash decisions about a legal fight and opted to set up a local office in India, the company basically doesn't have any cash left on hand. Users love us, though! So the future's bright for... whatever our name is. It doesn't matter. In a minute, I'll start over and try something else. I've spent too much of my day today playing Startup Trail, a new browser game made by The Copia Institute (a think tank and the parent organization of the publication Techdirt), the startup trade group Engine, and developer Leveraged Play. The two... |
| This is what Apple retail employees in Atlanta are fighting for Posted: 29 Apr 2022 07:30 AM PDT  The Apple Store, located in Atlanta's Cumberland Mall, is the first of the company's 272 retail locations to file for a union election. Employees have written an open letter explaining what changes they are pushing for: fair compensation and transparency on alleged pay inequality within the company, a commitment to promote more BIPOC employees into leadership positions, and increased COVID-19 safety measures in stores. "We want to have a voice in our workplace," says Elli Daniels, a retail employee and union organizer. "We are doing this because we adore Apple and we love our jobs and we want to make sure we can continue to love the company as much as we do right now. We aren't doing this because we want to turn our backs on the... |
| Go read this exposé on how FAFSA got caught sending personal info to Facebook Posted: 29 Apr 2022 07:27 AM PDT  If you applied for financial aid through Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) in the US in early 2022, there's a very good chance some personal information was provided to a platform that's completely irrelevant to the process: Facebook. This report from The Markup exposed that, as early as January 2022, the US Department of Education sent data from website visitors to Facebook, potentially including information submitted on forms like first and last name, country, phone number, and email address, via the "Meta Pixel" tracking pixel — even if the person didn't have a Facebook account. The Markup also notes that this data collection began "even before the user logged in to studentaid.gov." |
| Mars helicopter spots wreckage from Perseverance landing Posted: 29 Apr 2022 07:27 AM PDT  New pictures from the Ingenuity helicopter offer a fresh perspective of the wreckage left behind when the Perseverance rover landed on Mars last year, NASA said on Wednesday. Launched in 2020, the Perseverance rover successfully landed on the Red Planet in 2021, with the mission of finding ancient signs of life on Mars. The rover carried the Ingenuity helicopter onboard — an experimental project that scientists on Earth hoped would be able to see sights that the rover couldn't. Perseverance went through a grueling process known as the seven minutes of terror to descend onto the Martian surface. As it entered the atmosphere, a heat shield helped protect the rover from the blistering heat of reentry and slowed it down dramatically. After... |
