| Extreme drought could cost California half its hydroelectric power this summer Posted: 01 Jun 2022 09:33 AM PDT  Drought is forecast to slash California's supply of hydroelectricity in half this summer. That's bad news for residents' air quality and utility bills, the US Energy and Information Administration (EIA) said in its forecast. The state will likely lean on more expensive, polluting natural gas to make up for the shortfall in hydropower. Nearly 60 percent of California is currently coping with "extreme" drought or worse, according to the national drought monitor map. California's current water woes stem from low levels of snowpack, which quenches the state's reservoirs when it melts. In early April, when snowpack usually peaks, the water content of the state's snowpack was 40 percent lower than the normal levels over the past 30 years. |
| Some of our favorite iRobot Roomba vacuums are up to $200 off Posted: 01 Jun 2022 09:01 AM PDT  If you're late on your spring cleaning, now is the perfect time to play catchup and save some money in the process. There are some great discounts running on Roomba smart vacuums from iRobot. These deals cover a couple of our favorite models, like the Roomba j7 and Roomba i3 EVO, both as standalone bots or with their respective auto-emptying stations. The discounts range from $100 to $200 off at a variety of retailers as well as directly from iRobot's site, where the manufacturer indicates that the sale is running through June 18th. For those looking to get the biggest savings on the best bot, the iRobot Roomba j7 and Roomba j7 Plus are both $200 off. The standalone vacuum normally runs $599, but it's now $399 at Amazon, Best Buy, W... |
| How YouTube built a better way to connect your TV and phone Posted: 01 Jun 2022 09:00 AM PDT  TV remotes suck, and YouTube is tired of dealing with them. "It's very hard to type on TV with a remote," says Brynn Evans, the head of design for YouTube on TV. "Like, the remote's clunky, every remote's different, there's a million different buttons. They're all bad." Every app and service has tried to find ways around this, from those "activate on the web" screens that save you from typing your password to a heavy emphasis on voice search. Your Apple TV will practically beg you to type on your phone rather than with your remote. But even that's not enough for YouTube. So YouTube's rolling out a new feature that more closely connects your phone to your TV. (It works on Android and iOS devices, so tablets should work too.) If you sit... |
| Google TV app launches on iOS as another hub for your streaming services Posted: 01 Jun 2022 09:00 AM PDT  The Google TV app, which aggregates content recommendations from numerous streaming services and lets you create a universal watchlist of your favorites, is now available on iOS. Google says that it'll replace the previous Google Play Movies and TV app in the App Store, so if you've already got that installed, you should be able to update it to the Google TV experience sometime today. The software, already available on Android, also allows you to rate what you've previously viewed to improve future recommendations. More important for Android TV or Chromecast with Google TV owners is that you can use the Google TV app as a remote control for those devices by tapping the remote icon. Not every major streaming service allows its content... |
| Google is combining Meet and Duo into a single app for voice and video calls Posted: 01 Jun 2022 09:00 AM PDT  Google announced today that it's combining two of its video-calling apps, Duo and Meet, into a single platform. Pretty soon, there will be only Google Meet, and Google's hoping it can be the one calling app users need for just about everything in their lives. By bringing them both together, Google's hoping it can solve some of what ails modern communication tools. "What's been really important is understanding how people make the choice as to what tool they're going to use, for what purpose, in what circumstance," says Javier Soltero, the head of Google Workspace. Our digital lives are filled with a million different chat apps, each with its own rules and norms and contact list, some for work purposes and some for personal ones. Google's... |
| Focusrite debuts its audio interfaces designed for podcasters Posted: 01 Jun 2022 08:00 AM PDT  Focusrite, the British manufacturer of audio interfaces and recording tools, is introducing a new line of devices designed for home podcast recording. The Vocaster One and Vocaster Two take the key parts of Focusrite's popular interfaces and tailor them to amateur podcasters and other home audio creators. Focusrite's Scarlett line of audio interfaces has been a consumer standard over the past few years for podcasters who need to plug XLR microphones into their computer (to the point where I saw one in the trailer for a movie about a podcast just last week). But even as it's become a hit in the podcast world, Focusrite has mostly marketed itself as a company for musicians (the tagline on its website is "We believe in enriching peoples'... |
| Discord adds text chat directly inside your voice channels Posted: 01 Jun 2022 08:00 AM PDT  Discord is enabling a new dedicated text chat feature for voice channels. Users of the platform can take advantage of the new feature, aptly named Text Chat in Voice Channels, by clicking on a new chat bubble icon for the voice channel they are participating in. The feature is a welcome quality of life change, similar to the chat window in Zoom calls that many are used to in this day and age. All non-community servers have Text Chat in Voice Channels enabled by default, while servers that have community enabled (under Server Settings > Community) have a period of time to either opt in or disable it from ever going live. If no action is taken, the feature will enable automatically on all servers by June 15th. |
| Looking Glass might have just invented the GIF’s 3D successor Posted: 01 Jun 2022 08:00 AM PDT  On June 15th, 1987, CompuServe introduced the GIF, a way to share images — or animated sequences of images — anywhere. The incredible portability of the late Steve Wilhite's "graphics interchange format" made it the perfect canvas for viral memes. Now, a company called Looking Glass is trying to make holograms effortlessly portable, too. "Imagine we're in a parallel universe and every movie ever shot was shot in color, but every human being was watching in black and white," says Looking Glass co-founder and CEO Shawn Frayne. "That's the situation we're in with 3D." He says that if you add up all the CG movies, video game screenshots, 3D models, and portrait mode photos — and, yes, NFTs — there are hundreds of trillions of pieces of... |
| The TweetDeck Mac app will go away on July 1st Posted: 01 Jun 2022 07:25 AM PDT  Just a few months after Twitter spent $40 million to acquire TweetDeck in 2011, it launched new HTML5 apps for the browser, Windows, and Mac. Now, with Elon Musk's purchase of Twitter still looming, and an edit button incoming, the web browser version will be all that's left. Twitter shut down TweetDeck's Windows app in 2016, versions for iOS, Android, and Adobe Air went away in 2013, and now the Mac version is set to disappear after July 1st. In a tweet, the team said the change is happening "to focus on making TweetDeck even better and testing our new Preview." Twitter power users who use the app to monitor different feeds of information got the message via a banner notification this morning. Twitter has been publicly testing an... |
| More PlayStation 5 consoles are coming to Walmart tomorrow Posted: 01 Jun 2022 06:58 AM PDT  We're still seeing short or no supply of PlayStation 5 consoles at many retailers and going weeks between new nationwide restocks. Hopefully, this summer will prove more fruitful, and a good (though small) sign is that Walmart has a PS5 event coming up tomorrow. If you're a Walmart Plus subscriber, you will have the chance to queue up for a standard $499 disc drive-equipped PlayStation 5 Thursday, June 2nd at 3PM ET. This is yet another restock that's exclusive to paying Walmart Plus members, though, since we have advance notice, you have plenty of time to pay the minimum $12.95 for one month of membership ahead of the drop. Yes, you get other perks from Walmart, like free deliveries, but we're ultimately just paying to play the restock... |
