[ad_1] Apparently, WarnerMedia’s victory came down to the breadth of what it could offer. Bad Robot wanted to work with a “larger” company that had both film and TV distribution under its belt. Streaming providers don’t really have that kind of reach, and Apple TV+ hasn’t even launched yet. This isn’t to say online services […]

Apple TV beta tests iOS-like picture-in-picture
[ad_1] From the looks of it, Apple’s picture-in-picture feature won’t allow you to stream video on top of another video. Instead, it shrinks whatever content you are currently watching to a small box housed in the corner of the screen, allowing you to navigate the rest of the operating system without needing to pause or […]
Nikon plans an answer to Sony’s A9 mirrorless pro camera
[ad_1] Although Umatate didn’t say as much, there’s little doubt that this future model would be an answer to Sony’s A9. Simply speaking, Sony is still thrashing Nikon (and Canon, for that matter) in the mirrorless market, if not interchangeable lens cameras as a whole. A parallel to the D5 could prevent pro photographers from […]
Google takes control of bringing next-gen texting to Android
[ad_1] Rather than rely on a central server (as with Apple’s iMessage), Android Messages quietly pings each participant in a chat to see if they support RCS. If they do, you get high-quality media, read receipts and other perks that come with the technology. Google does pass messages through its servers (though they’re deleted as […]
New York set to legalize e-scooters and e-bikes
[ad_1] Municipalities would still have to give e-scooter and e-bike companies the go-ahead, and would decide how to regulate them. For instance, under the state-wide bill, riders won’t need to wear helmets, though cities could require that. If the bill progresses as expected, e-scooters and e-bikes are likely to come to New York City, a […]
US recommends Windows users patch against worm vulnerability
[ad_1] The BlueKeep vulnerability is “wormable”, meaning an attacker only has to gain access to one computer in order to gain control of all the other devices on its network. Microsoft already issued patches for the bug last month, but private security firm Errata estimated that millions of devices still remain vulnerable. While an attacker […]
Waymo’s Jaguar EV hits public roads for self-driving tests
[ad_1] During the tests, Waymo has put a safety driver inside, ready to take control if anything goes awry. It’s a significant step for Waymo towards adding the self-driving cars to its ride-hailing fleet, which it plans to do next year. Waymo revealed last year it was adding I-Pace EVs to its self-driving fleet. The […]
FCC task force will help connect farms and ranches
[ad_1] This spring the FCC pledged to bring broadband to more than 100,000 rural homes and businesses, and earlier this month, the FCC authorized $166.8 million to expand broadband access in underserved rural regions. It makes sense that the FCC would want to work with farmers and ranchers as it embarks on this rural push, […]
Microsoft’s To-Do app is now available for Mac
[ad_1] Microsoft has released To-Do for Mac, finally giving Apple users access to the task management tool on their desktops. The Mac app will allow users to work offline, view their upcoming tasks under “My Day,” share to-do lists with friends and colleagues and see flagged emails. The app isn’t fully integrated with Microsoft Planner […]
Police must get warrants to obtain personal data from cars
[ad_1] After a deadly car crash, Georgia police downloaded data from the Event Data Recorder on Mobley’s car to determine his speed before the crash, using that to level more severe accusations against him. Georgia has contended that this was legal under the Fourth Amendment’s “vehicle exception” allowing searches for physical items, but the ACLU […]
