Dish Network seems to be taking its unconventional approach to building a wireless network all the way to the blockchain. Executives hosting an analyst event in Las Vegas today gave a few hints at their vision of this country's fourth wireless carrier, and it might involve a future where you can pay for a new iPhone in Bitcoin.

Stephen Stokols, CEO of Dish-owned Boost Mobile, showed off branding for a new postpaid wireless plan coming this fall called "Boost Infinite," and, well, here's what he said:

Imagine if there was a wireless carrier that embraced digital acceleration, the web 3.0 trends, to reshape the entire wireless experience. Or imagine if you could turn your unused data into a real digital currency.

Digital currency doesn't...

YouTube is launching gifted memberships in beta, and they'll be available for select channels beginning Wednesday. Memberships are YouTube's take on Twitch's subscriptions, which viewers can use to show financial support for creators and get access to certain perks like custom emoji. Twitch users have been able to buy gift subscriptions for some time, but if you've wanted to buy gift memberships to other fans of a YouTube channel, you haven't been able to.

The memberships gifting beta will be available to a "small group of creators" to start and will be expanded to more "over the next several months," YouTube says on a page about the feature. Channels interested in trying the feature can fill out this Google Form, though you'll need to...

Tesla is recalling 130,000 cars due to an issue causing the CPU in vehicles' infotainment systems to overheat during fast charging, potentially making the car's touchscreen malfunction or go completely blank (via The Associated Press). The electric car maker started rolling out an over-the-air update (OTA) on May 3rd to fix the issue on affected vehicles, which include the 2022 Model 3 and Y, as well as the 2021 and 2022 Model X and S.

"During fast-charging or preparation for fast-charging, the infotainment central processing unit ("CPU") may not cool sufficiently to prevent higher than expected temperatures, which may cause the CPU to slow processing or restart," the recall notice from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration...

I have been told to blog about Senator Josh Hawley's new copyright bill, and I do this with nothing but the greatest reluctance. Normally, I love talking about copyright! I'll talk about copyright all day long! [Ed note: And she does.] But writing this post is agony, because the thought of giving this absolutely asinine piece of legislation any attention is killing me on the inside.

This is a deeply unserious bill. There is not a line in it that is meant to pass muster. It is knowingly in violation of the Constitution, and an insult to the democratic process.

In brief, the bill is targeted at the Walt Disney Company, also known as,

a person that (i) has a market capitalization of more than $150,000,000,000; and (ii)(I) is classified...

Last fall, Google announced a key improvement to devices running its Google TV front end with personalized access so that each user in a home could have individual profiles with their own recommendations and Assistant responses. In December, that feature was delayed until "the coming months," and it's still nowhere to be found; however, 9to5Google reports glanceable cards for Google TV's ambient mode screen saver that were also announced at the same time are starting to roll out.

When they were announced in October, Google showed a version of the UI (the picture above) with large personalized cards scrolling across the middle of the screen. They could display information like weather, sports scores, and news or toss in shortcuts to...

Canoo, the struggling electric vehicle startup, thinks it's about to run out of money. In stark terms, the company reports that it only has enough cash to last another quarter and is unsure whether it will be able to stay afloat beyond that.

"As of the date of this announcement, we are reporting that there is substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern," the company states in its first-quarter earnings report.

Canoo was founded in late 2017 when former BMW executive Stefan Krause left then-struggling EV startup Faraday Future. Krause and some of the other executives who co-founded Canoo — which was then called...

AT&T will now use a device’s GPS location to route 911 calls

AT&T says it's the first carrier to deploy location-based routing for 911 calls across the country, a feature that allows the company to transmit wireless emergency calls to the correct call center based on a device's GPS location. As announced in a press release, AT&T says the feature should enable the carrier to accurately locate and route 911 calls within 50 meters of where the call was placed.

AT&T previously routed calls based on the location of the cell tower that picked up the call signal, an area that could cover up to a 10-mile radius. This means a call center miles away — or even a whole town over — could receive your call, potentially delaying the time it takes for emergency services to reach your precise location. In theory,...

Activision is adding a wild crossover to Call of Duty: Warzone — the giant monsters Godzilla and Kong will appear in a new limited-time mode that kicks off tomorrow, May 11th.

In the new mode, called Operation Monarch, players will compete to be the last team standing as Godzilla and Kong roam the island. While the monsters "usually don't get too aggressive," at certain points during a match, they might "become enraged and recklessly attack" in a "Titan Frenzy," according to a blog post by Activision's James Mattone.

"After receiving a Titan Frenzy alert, an Operator has two options: tactically withdraw (run away) from these dangerous creatures or attempt to suppress them by dealing direct damage," Mattone says. If you do enough damage...

HBO's puzzle-filled robot show that always packed extra sides of hedonism and murder is close to making its return, as fans apparently dug up a teaser trailer for season four of Westworld before its scheduled debut.

HBO media relations director Chris Godefroy confirmed it was an Easter Egg set up for dedicated fans, and as we've seen ahead of previous seasons, there will be more to come. You can watch it right here on HBO's YouTube channel (via Reddit), to see that many of our android friends, foes, and friends who didn't know they were androids will continue to have roles to play. This link showed up on Thrillist's Instagram story over a picture of NYC, teasing a setting in the upcoming season.

On Tuesday HBO made the news official,...
