Volkswagen names a new CEO to run its electric truck and SUV spinoff Scout

The electric rebirth of Scout, the classic off-road SUV brand, is getting real this week as Volkswagen names Scott Keogh as CEO of its new spinoff company. The former head of VW Group America, as initially reported by Axios, pushed for VW to start a new electric truck line after seeing a fully restored vintage Scout: "the rights to the brand were just sitting there," Keogh said.

VW acquired the Scout brand through a 2020 merger of its commercial trucking company Traton with Navistar, which the German automaker initially bought part of in 2016. In May, it was reported that VW Group is willing to pump $1 billion into the new Scout brand and set goals to sell a quarter million electric off-roaders under the name annually starting in 2026.

Another Samsung Unpacked virtual event is right around the corner, now confirmed to take place on August 10th at 9AM ET / 6AM PT, and along with it are some incentives for the early, early birds. Samsung is offering customers in the US the chance to put in free, no-commitment reservations for its upcoming devices on its website now, well ahead of preorders — and even the devices' announcement.

Galaxy fans who reserve before the August 10th Unpacked will later receive varying tier-levels of store credit once the devices can be ordered, ranging from $30 to $200, toward Samsung's next devices. As for what devices you're signing up for? We can say with certainty that among the rumors, leaks, and Samsung's own invite graphic, you can expect...

Samsung’s August 10th Unpacked will definitely feature at least one foldable

Posted: 19 Jul 2022 04:00 PM PDT

Yep, that's a foldable. | Image: Samsung

Samsung has provided a clear solution to the unusual puzzle it provided yesterday, confirming that its Galaxy Unpacked event will indeed take place on August 10th. The image included with the teaser also confirms that its foldables will be taking center stage, with a Galaxy Z Flip-shaped device acting as a "greater than" symbol. The event will start at 9AM ET and will be streamed on Samsung.com.

Based on the cryptic hint that Samsung dropped yesterday, along with the timing of last year's Galaxy Z Flip 3 and Fold 3 launch, it was kind of a no-brainer to assume that we'd see updated foldable phones next month. If the phone in the invitation image is actually the Z Flip 4, then rumors that the device would feature minimal updates appear...

Netflix’s ad-supported tier won’t have everything at launch

Netflix's upcoming ad-supported offering won't include all of the content you can currently watch on the streaming service, Netflix executives said during the company's Q2 2022 earnings interview video.

"Today, the vast majority of what people watch on Netflix, we can include in the ad-supported tier," Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos said. "There are some things that don't — that we're in conversation about with the studios on — but if we launched the product today, the members in the ad tier would have a great experience. We will clear some additional content, but certainly not all of it, but we don't think it's a material holdback to the business."

"It's certainly a nice to have," said CFO Spencer Neumann. "But it's not a must-have. As...

Netflix subscriber count in the US and Canada dropped by 1.3 million over the last three months

After Netflix reported losing subscribers for the first time in over a decade last quarter, the company's Q2 earnings report revealed the number of worldwide subscribers dipped by 1 million, including a drop of 1.28 million in the US and Canada alone between the end of March and the end of June. That's better than its projection of losing 2 million worldwide, but the subscriber shortfall in the US and Canada is double the 600,000 drop it reported for Q1. Netflix now reports it has 73.28 million paid subscribers in the US and Canada and 220.67 million worldwide.

This comes nearly a week after Netflix announced a partnership with Microsoft on its cheaper ad-supported tier that it expects to launch by early next year. In the letter,...

Instagram’s trying to make it easier to find nearby businesses

Posted: 19 Jul 2022 03:09 PM PDT

The map includes filters for narrowing down what type of locations you're looking for.

Instagram's latest update aims to make it easier for users to find local businesses or attractions by adding a searchable map that lets you "discover popular local businesses near you," according to an Instagram Story from Mark Zuckerberg. The map will show you a list of places nearby and will let you see posts about a certain place or see only certain types of business.

There are a few ways to get to the map — if someone tags a place in a post or story, you can tap on the tag and hit "see location" to get to the location's page. If you move around on the map, you'll then be able to search the area to see what's nearby.

Amazon's current Echo lineup offers a broad selection of smart speakers and displays that can fit just about anywhere in your home. Whether you want to place a voice assistant in your living room, replace the bulletin board in your office, or pick up a touchscreen-enabled device to showcase recipes in the kitchen, there's an Echo device for just about every occasion and use case.

Regardless of why you might want one, there's also always a way to save on an Echo device, from the last-gen Dot to the wall-mounted Echo Show 15. Even when they're selling at full price, for instance, Amazon offers a 25 percent discount when you trade in select devices, meaning there are still other ways to save money when none of the models are on sale.

How to learn a language online

Last year, I decided to start learning Korean. It was entirely on a whim — I don't live in Korea and have no reason I'd ever need to go there. Nonetheless, it's been an incredibly rewarding experience, and I've gotten to a point where I can speak, read, and write comfortably much faster than I ever thought I could.

That's entirely due to the wealth of apps and online services out there that I've been able to take advantage of. Without easy access to native speakers or in-person classes, much of my early journey involved scouring the internet for resources and trying every one I could find. Here, I'm going to briefly discuss my experience with each one and whether I'd recommend it for its price.

It's important that I make a few caveats...

The best Spider-Man movies are coming to Netflix

Sam Raimi's incredible Spider-Man movie trilogy will be available on Netflix beginning August 1st, the company announced on Tuesday.

Raimi's trilogy is the best Spider-Man trilogy, and I won't hear another word edgewise. I know the films aren't objectively the best — the third one is just bad — but for many people of a certain age like me, they're formative movies that are packed with iconic moments and legendary memes.

Tobey Maguire's Emo Peter Parker is basically a permanent internet character. One of the best parts of Spider-Man: No Way Home was when Willem Dafoe got to say perhaps his most classic Norman Osborne line. Netflix itself even used a Spider-Man meme in its announcement tweet.

Google Cloud and Oracle servers suffer cooling breakdowns during UK heatwave

Google Cloud and Oracle servers located in the UK struggled with cooling-related outages Tuesday as the country experienced record-breaking heat that reached as high as 104 degrees Fahrenheit (40 degrees Celsius). Both companies blame temperature for the unexpected shutdowns.

On its Google Cloud status page, Google notes it has experienced a "cooling related failure" in one of its UK-based data centers. "This caused a partial failure of capacity in that zone, leading to VM [virtual machine] terminations and a loss of machines for a small set of our customers," Google states. The company adds that it has also "powered down" some of its machines to prevent any further damage.

As pointed out by The Register and Bleeping Computer, Oracle has...
