| Google may now remove search results that dox you Posted: 27 Apr 2022 11:55 AM PDT  Google says it's expanding the types of personal information that it'll remove from search results to cover things like your physical address, phone number, and passwords. Before now, the feature mostly covered info that would let someone steal your identity or money — now, you can ask Google to stop showing certain URLs that point to info that could lead someone to your house or give them access to your accounts. According to a blog post, Google's giving people the new options because "the internet is always evolving" and its search engine giving out your phone number or home address can be both jarring and dangerous. Here's a list of what kinds of info Google may remove, with the new additions in bold (h/t to the Wayback Machine for m... |
| Amazon’s Alexa can now tell you if your security camera sees a person or package Posted: 27 Apr 2022 11:30 AM PDT  Alexa has always had aspirations to be a type of digital butler, and today, it's getting closer to that goal. Amazon's voice assistant can now announce when there's a person or package at your video doorbell or security camera. If you have an Echo smart display or Fire TV, it can also show you who or what is there by automatically pulling up a live video feed. The new feature will work with video doorbells and security cameras from Ring, Google Nest, and Abode, with more brands potentially adding the ability thanks to a new API from Amazon. Amazon says that person detection announcements are rolling out now to all Ring video doorbells and cameras and will be coming soon to the Google Nest Cam Outdoor, Nest Cam Indoor, Nest Cam... |
| Posted: 27 Apr 2022 11:28 AM PDT  Twitter's prospective new owner Elon Musk still has some restrictions on his tweets that most of us do not. They're as a result of a 2018 settlement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) over his infamous "funding secured" tweet about taking Tesla private. Even considering Musk's complaints that he was coerced into taking the deal and contempt for the "bastards" at the SEC, earlier today, US District Judge Lewis Liman ruled against Musk, letting the agreement stand as originally written (via Reuters). One of the things Musk wanted — but didn't get — was for the court to stop a subpoena from the SEC for information to determine if a tweet last fall with a poll about selling 10 percent of his stock had been vetted first, per... |
| YouTube is testing ads on its short-form answer to TikTok, Shorts Posted: 27 Apr 2022 11:17 AM PDT  YouTube is starting to test advertisements on Shorts, a short-form video feature the company introduced in 2020 that's similar to what TikTok and Instagram offer. The company is specifically experimenting with app-install ads and other promotions, Google's chief business officer, Philipp Schindler, told investors on Tuesday. "We are experiencing a slight headwind to revenue growth as Shorts viewership grows as a percentage of total YouTube time," Alphabet CFO Ruth Porat said. "We are testing monetization on shorts, and early advertiser feedback and results are encouraging." According to Google, YouTube's Shorts is generating 30 billion daily views, which is four times that of last year's. Meanwhile, YouTube's ad-revenue growth went up,... |
| Peacock is getting a new comedy series based on Pete Davidson’s life Posted: 27 Apr 2022 10:19 AM PDT  Saturday Night Live star and almost space tourist Pete Davidson will soon star in a Peacock series based on his own life. Called Bupkis, the half-hour comedy series is described as a "heightened, fictionalized version of Pete Davidson's real life" that "will combine grounded storytelling with absurd elements from the unfiltered and completely original worldview for which Pete is well known." Dave Sirus and Judah Miller, who previously worked with Davidson on The King of Staten Island, will join the star as writers on the show. There isn't much other info about Bupkis, such as when it'll debut or how many episodes to expect. But it looks to be a notable win for the streamer, which says that "the series was acquired in a highly competitive... |
| Go listen to this podcast about the history of the Windows startup sound Posted: 27 Apr 2022 10:00 AM PDT  The Windows XP startup sound is forever engrained in my mind, those tinkling chimes bringing back memories of AIM, Civilization III, and endless hours spent trying to download music through Napster and Kazaa followed by endless hours spent trying to remove the viruses I accidentally downloaded through Napster and Kazaa. The sounds of Windows are as much a part of computing history as anything else you'll find, and the Twenty Thousand Hertz podcast is doing a two-part series on the history of the startup jingle. It begins before computers were even able to have startup sounds, and it traces their evolution through composers like Brian Eno and musicians like Robert Fripp and the Seattle Symphony. The first episode is out now, and it's... |

| Here’s what the updated Apple Studio Display webcam looks like Posted: 27 Apr 2022 10:00 AM PDT  Apple's $1,599 Studio Display arrived last month with big promises about its webcam, which features a 12-megapixel sensor, an f2.4 ultra-wide lens, and the same A13 chip running the whole thing as found in the iPhone 11. Unfortunately, it shipped with buggy software that made everything look bad. Apple told us that it wasn't "behaving as expected" and promised us a software update. That update is now here, sort of. You have to update your Mac to the public beta of macOS Monterey 12.4, which comes with a further update to the Studio Display. (Once the Studio Display is updated, the improvements are available when connected to any other Mac, though.) I updated my review unit last night, and, basically, the changes are what Apple said we'd... |
| Your PS5 might already have VRR, no new update required Posted: 27 Apr 2022 09:49 AM PDT  Sony announced Monday that the PS5's Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) feature would begin rolling out this week, and it's already begun to show up for some people (via HDTVTest on YouTube). If your TV supports the feature, VRR can dynamically adjust the refresh rate of the screen, which can make games feel smoother to play with less tearing and hitching. While some games will be updated to support the feature, Sony also has a toggle that will apply VRR to unsupported games. If the VRR feature is available for you, you'll be able to see it in the PS5's Settings menu. Go to Screen and Video, Video Output, and then scroll down to the VRR section. Despite Sony saying Monday the feature would arrive with an update, there's no update to download.... |
