[ad_1] To kick things off, the company shared that it had built its very own computer for self-driving cars. The neural network chip was built from the ground up; the project started back in 2016.

Microsoft quietly axes Windows 10’s long-promised Sets feature
[ad_1] The decision to re-do Edge using Chromium helped Microsoft make the decision, the tipsters said. The amount of work needed to integrate the revamped browser into Sets would have either required that Microsoft delay Edge’s release or else left it without Sets support for months. We’ve asked Microsoft for comment. Over the weekend, though, […]
Charter will expand broadband network so it can stay in New York
[ad_1] The penalty isn’t particularly bad for the multi-billion dollar corporation, which faced a potential eviction from New York after the state’s Public Service Commission (PSC) voted last year to revoke its approval of Charter’s 2016 purchase of Time Warner Cable. Had that order gone forward, the company would have been forced to sell Time […]
Google Walkout leaders accuse company of retaliation culture
[ad_1] As Wired reports, Stapleton got news of her demotion just months after the protest. When she brought the issue to human resources, the environment reportedly became increasingly hostile.

Spike Lee’s time-travel drama ‘See You Yesterday’ comes to Netflix in May
[ad_1] While Spike Lee is a big name to have attached to the project, See You Yesterday is helmed almost entirely by newcomers.

Apple could make the iPhone’s NFC more useful at WWDC
[ad_1] This may also lay the groundwork for Apple’s rumored Tile-like tracking tag, although there’s nothing strictly linked to trackers in the leak. This wouldn’t be the only developer-focused addition, of course. Siri would support a host of new intents for third-party apps, such as media controls (for third-party services on the HomePod, perhaps?), search, […]
Russian hackers are hijacking computers at US embassies
[ad_1] The attackers don’t seem to be state-backed, though. They’ve also attacked government officials at “several” revenue authorities, and Check Point noted that there have been similar campaigns that targeted Russian speakers. At least one of the culprits, nicknamed EvaPiks, has been linked to a hacking forum where card theft was a subject of discussion. […]
Meal kits might be better for the planet than a trip to the store
[ad_1] The difference is in the amount of food waste meal kits prevent. While grocery store meals have less packaging per meal, more food has to be purchased and that leads to higher household food waste. It turns out all the cardboard and plastic wrap involved isn’t as bad for the environment as the extra […]
Endgame’ event is coming to ‘Fortnite’ this week
[ad_1] Whatever it takes.4.25.19.#FortniteXAvengers pic.twitter.com/XSXcypJZJE — Fortnite (@FortniteGame) April 22, 2019 You may remember a similar mashup around the time Avengers: Infinity War hit theaters last year. During that limited-time event, if you were lucky enough to find the Infinity Gauntlet somewhere on the island before anyone else, you’d turn into MCU villain Thanos and […]
Samsung is reportedly delaying the Galaxy Fold due to display issues
[ad_1] We’ve asked Samsung for comment. However, the apparent scoop comes hours after the tech giant postponed launch events in Hong Kong and Shanghai. The display problems have varied. Some were the result of a misunderstanding about the Fold’s main display — reviewers mistakenly assumed a layer on top was a screen protector they could […]
