| Dell’s XPS 13 Plus is the first laptop certified for Ubuntu 22.04 LTS Posted: 20 Jul 2022 09:43 PM PDT  Ten years after launching a pioneering combination of Linux preinstalled on a commercial laptop with Project Sputnik, Dell and Canonical announced that the XPS 13 Plus is the first OEM PC certified for Ubuntu 22.04 Long-Term Support (LTS). That makes this a straightforward route to having a PC that just works without worrying about whether or not each component is ready to work with Linux. Linux-equipped Developer Edition models of the laptop were already available, with prices starting at $1,289.00, but currently ship with the older 20.04 LTS software. Long-term support releases deliver what it says on the tin, with the end of standard support for this version scheduled in 2027 and the end of life in 2032. Certified devices are lab... |
| Eve’s new motion sensor is the first with Thread Posted: 20 Jul 2022 09:00 PM PDT  Smart home company Eve continues its transition to Thread this week with the release of the second generation of its motion sensor. A wireless sensor that works over Thread and Bluetooth Low Energy, the Eve Motion is the first standalone motion sensor to use the Thread wireless protocol, which is a pillar of the new Matter smart home standard. Today, the motion sensor will work with Apple HomeKit to trigger automations such as turning on connected smart lights or opening smart window shades. But when Matter arrives later this year, Eve says the motion sensor and all Eve's Thread-based products will receive an over-the-air firmware update to be compatible with Matter. This will open the device to other Matter ecosystems, including Google... |
| Square Enix summons Meteor, launches its NFT project Posted: 20 Jul 2022 05:01 PM PDT  What had once been a warning of dark times to come is now a reality. Square Enix has finally announced its NFT (or non-fungible token) project after threatening us with the company's embrace of the controversial and largely reviled-by-gamers blockchain technology. To facilitate this extraordinary waste of fans' good-will, Square Enix has partnered with Enjin, an NFT company that will store Square Enix's tokens on its Efinity blockchain. Starting today, consumers will be able to pre-order a physical action figure that comes with a code redeemable for a digital NFT. There will also be physical trading cards that similarly have a digital NFT component available for pre-order later this year. If you're wondering which of its many franchises... |
| Minecraft owner bans in-game NFTs to discourage profiteering Posted: 20 Jul 2022 04:49 PM PDT  Minecraft developer Mojang Studios is taking a strong stance against NFTs. In a blog post titled "Minecraft and NFTs," the studio, which is owned by Microsoft, wrote that "integrations of NFTs with Minecraft are generally not something we will support or allow." "To ensure that Minecraft players have a safe and inclusive experience, blockchain technologies are not permitted to be integrated inside our client and server applications, nor may Minecraft in-game content such as worlds, skins, persona items, or other mods, be utilized by blockchain technology to create a scarce digital asset," Mojang said. According to Mojang, some companies have created "NFT implementations that are associated with Minecraft world files and skin packs." The... |
| I replaced my Steam Deck’s noisy fan and am so happy I did Posted: 20 Jul 2022 04:02 PM PDT  160 hours into Elden Ring, I'm sure of one thing: the single most annoying thing about my Steam Deck is its whiny fan. And now, I'm so happy to report there's a way to fix it. It takes roughly 15 minutes and $30 — depending on where you live — to install a replacement fan from iFixit. Five days ago, the repair company finally got a large shipment of those fans, and I bought one right away. Now, my Steam Deck's tiny screech is gone. Is the fan still loud? Yes, yes it is, but it's a whoosh instead of a whine. I like to think of it as the sound of air escaping the Deck's vents, but mostly, I don't think about it at all. I can easily tune out the new whoosh, whereas the whine always managed to get my attention even after Valve tweaked its... |
| Samsung says folding phone shipments reached nearly 10 million last year Posted: 20 Jul 2022 04:00 PM PDT  Samsung is gearing up the hype machine for the release of its next foldables once again, and ahead of the next Unpacked event on August 10th, mobile president TM Roh has published another blog post making the case that the time for foldables is now — and that more people are picking up foldable phones. "Three years ago, Galaxy foldables could be summed up in a single word: radical," Roh wrote. "Very quickly, however, it became clear that this groundbreaking, flexible design fit perfectly into modern lifestyles. As a result, what was once a novelty three years ago is now the preferred choice for millions." In the post, Roh says that the industry shipped... |
| Tesla sold 75 percent of its Bitcoin Posted: 20 Jul 2022 03:54 PM PDT  Tesla already reported vehicle shipment numbers for the second quarter, and now its full Q2 2022 financial report (pdf) reveals it's dealing with inflation and the overall economic downturn, combined with a plunge in prices of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. In the letter to investors, Tesla execs reveal the company has sold 75 percent of its Bitcoin holdings, adding $936 million in cash to its balance sheet. Last year, Tesla made a $1.5 billion investment in Bitcoin and announced that it would accept Bitcoin as payment. Tesla started accepting Bitcoin in late March, then abruptly reversed itself in May, just 49 days later. In the latest report, Tesla says the value of its remaining "digital assets" is $218 million, which it had... |
| Elon Musk now says Tesla could start Cybertruck deliveries in mid-2023 Posted: 20 Jul 2022 03:53 PM PDT  Tesla CEO Elon Musk has said that the company hopes to start delivering the Cybertruck, its battery-powered electric pickup, in the "middle of next year" during a call for investors. This is a more specific timeline than Musk has provided before — in last quarter's earnings call, he said that the truck would be coming "hopefully next year." Tesla originally announced the truck in 2019, with a goal of starting production in late 2021. In August 2021, the company announced a delay until 2022, and Musk pushed that prediction further back until "hopefully" next year during the company's Q4 earnings call in January. In the meantime, competitors like Ford and Rivian have launched their own electric pickups, with Ford saying that it plans to... |
| The new Google Wallet is now available to all users Posted: 20 Jul 2022 01:30 PM PDT  The new Google Wallet app is available to all customers now, shortly after people in 39 countries started seeing it available on their phones Monday. If you're having trouble finding it in Google Play, try this link. Google Wallet's official rollout is the latest step in the long history of Google's payment app variations. The company combined Google Wallet and Android Pay in 2018 to create Google Pay, a single app that included tap-to-pay, tickets, and loyalty programs under one umbrella that worked across Android and Google Chrome. In 2020, Google Pay had a big app refresh to pull in peer-to-peer payments, deals, and other services. Now Google announced Wallet's comeback at its Google I/O event in May, splitting things up again to... |
| Google pauses hiring for two weeks to ‘review our headcount needs’ Posted: 20 Jul 2022 01:30 PM PDT  Google has internally announced a hiring freeze that will remain in place for two weeks. According to a report from The Information, Prabhakar Raghavan, Google's senior vice president, sent out an email to inform workers about the decision. This follows Google's announcement of a hiring slowdown that will last until the end of this year. "We'll use this time to review our headcount needs and align on a new set of prioritized Staffing Requests for the next three months," Raghavan writes. As noted by The Information, Google says that the hiring freeze won't affect existing job offers, but the company will no longer extend any new ones to applicants. In his message to employees earlier this month about the slowdown, Google CEO Sundar... |
