| Google bought a MicroLED display company that could help make AR headsets better and cheaper Posted: 04 May 2022 03:40 PM PDT  Today Google hardware boss Rick Osterloh confirmed that the company has acquired Raxium, a five-year-old startup with MicroLED technology that could be key in building a new generation of augmented, virtual, and mixed reality headsets. This adds to the evidence that Google's next big AR move is growing closer: it previously acquired the glasses maker North in 2020, and is reportedly hiring engineers to build an augmented reality operating system. We learned in January that Google Labs is building an AR headset called "Project Iris," under the same management as the Project Starline high-res video chat demo shown during its I/O event last year. When The Information first reported Google's Raxium... |
| Intuit owes you money if it tricked you into paying for TurboTax “Free Edition” Posted: 04 May 2022 03:20 PM PDT  Intuit, the company behind TurboTax, has agreed to pay out $141 million after it "cheated millions of low-income Americans out of free tax filing services," in the words of New York Attorney General Letitia James. Most of that money will go to consumers that were tricked into paying for its service. This comes as the result of an agreement it made with the AG (and officials from all 50 states and DC), which will also require the company to change its marketing practices. According to the Attorney General's press release, Intuit will owe people $30 for every year they were tricked into paying for TurboTax between 2016 and 2018. The document notes that "impacted consumers will automatically receive notices and a check by mail." TurboTax... |
| Twitter’s decentralized, open-source offshoot just released its first code Posted: 04 May 2022 03:04 PM PDT  Bluesky, Twitter's open-source offshoot, has released early code for a decentralized social network protocol. The system is dubbed the Authenticated Data Experiment (or ADX) and is available on GitHub for developers to test, although Bluesky emphasizes that it's incomplete. It's one of the most substantive windows into Bluesky's workings since the project was conceived in 2019 and formally incorporated in early 2022. Bluesky CEO Jay Graber writes that ADX will be the start of a semi-public development process. "We're going to take a middle path of releasing work before it's complete, but also giving ourselves time to workshop new directions at early stages," Graber says. The GitHub repository includes an overview of ADX's goals and... |
| Dish’s 5G network is finally live in Vegas — and it has NFTs Posted: 04 May 2022 02:23 PM PDT  Dish Network has taken a big step forward on its journey to becoming the country's fourth wireless carrier — one that it should have taken, oh, let's say many months ago. As reported by Axios, its 5G network, aka Project Genesis, has finally launched to paying customers in Las Vegas, graduating from the beta program that began late last year. For $30 per month it includes unlimited 5G data, talk, text, and, uh, this: "Additionally, we include a white-glove delivery experience and exclusive access to the Project Genesis app where you can earn rewards." Rewards including... NFTs. As part of T-Mobile's deal to buy Sprint, Dish Network has been tasked by the FCC with taking Sprint's place as our fourth carrier. It's taking an unconventional... |
| Starbucks plans a ‘global digital community’ around coffee with an NFT loyalty program Posted: 04 May 2022 02:15 PM PDT  Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz, along with executive vice president and chief marketing officer Brady Brewer, explained to investors during their Q2 2022 earnings presentation that the coffee company will add "new concepts such as ownership and community-based membership models that we see developing in the Web 3 space." Brewer went further, saying "Imagine acquiring a new digital collectible from Starbucks, where that product also serves as your access pass to a global Starbucks community, one with engaging content experiences and collaboration all centered around coffee." A post on the company blog does more to explain what all of that means:

| VW’s 2022 supply of EVs is ‘basically sold out’ in the US and Europe Posted: 04 May 2022 12:56 PM PDT  Volkswagen's CEO, Herbert Diess, says that the company is "basically sold out on electric vehicles in Europe and in the United States" for the year, according to a report from the Financial Times. This means that anyone hoping to get an EV from VW, Audi, or any of the group's other brands may have to wait until 2023, as the company tries to navigate the chip shortage and production issues from COVID shutdowns in China. According to the report, VW expects its backlog of orders to keep growing. It currently has plenty of people on the list waiting to get an EV and expects to add more throughout the year. But supply chain issues will make those difficult to fill. Almost every automaker has had to halt or slow down production thanks to a... |
| T-Mobile will now let you test drive its home internet for free Posted: 04 May 2022 12:29 PM PDT  T-Mobile launched its 5G home internet service around this time last year with the promise of a low $50 monthly rate, easy setup, and data speeds at least as good as traditional broadband internet. In reality, it's kind of a mixed bag. This year, it's hoping to tempt more people away from traditional internet providers with some new offers, starting with a 15-day trial period for the service. Customers who cancel within 15 days of starting the service will get a refund as long as they return the provided internet gateway. The company is also offering to cover early termination fees if you leave your current internet provider for T-Mobile — up to $500 by way of a prepaid Mastercard. Home internet subscribers are also now included in the... |
| The best Etsy alternatives for selling your crafts Posted: 04 May 2022 12:10 PM PDT  Since its launch in 2005, Etsy has become well known as the place to go for handcrafted, one-of-a-kind items from a wide variety of creators. Unfortunately, over the last few years, that rosy reputation has darkened a bit. To begin with, buyers have been noticing an influx of mass-market goods that are noticeably not handmade. But there has been a lot of discontent online from sellers as well, due both to the increased number of manufactured goods and to increased expenses such as mandatory market plans. The final straw may have come In early April of this year when Etsy announced it is raising seller transaction fees from 5 percent to 6.5 percent. As a result, a large number of Etsy sellers plan to go on strike between April 11th and... |
