Review: Cozy Grove is what happens when game developers give a damn about players
Apr 16, 2021 | 00:17 amCozy Grove is an exploration and adventure game from developer Spry Fox. It was recently released on consoles and I managed to get my hands on a review copy for the Nintendo Switch. I normally don’t play these kinds of games but there was something special about this one: ghost bears. The big idea: Cozy Grove is a game in the same genre as Animal Crossing. It’s safe to say that fans of one would probably enjoy spending time with the other. But, as mentioned, Cozy Grove has ghost bears. That might sound like a weak comparison, but the ghost bears are really cute. Okay,…This[…]

Billionaire clown Elon Musk drags the late Chris Farley into Tesla’s feud with Ford
Apr 15, 2021 | 19:02 pmThere’s never a dull moment in tech. Elon Musk and Ford CEO Jim Farley got into it on Twitter yesterday after a new Ford advertisement seemingly tossed shade at Tesla’s Autopilot. Heads up: The real lead here is that Ford’s new BlueCruise kit, a driverless car system, will launch on certain Mustang and F-150 models. Can we all take a moment to recognize how awesome the idea of an autonomous Mustang in the future is? But: Elon being Elon, there was no way the news was ever going to be about anything other than him. BlueCruise! We tested it in…This[…]

Instagram apologizes after algorithm promotes harmful diet content to people with eating disorders
Apr 15, 2021 | 18:58 pmInstagram has apologized for a “mistake” that led its algorithm to promote harmful diet content to people with eating disorders. The social network had been automatically recommending terms including “appetite suppressant,” which campaigners feared could lead vulnerable people to relapse. Facebook, which owns Instagram, told the BBC that the suggestions were triggered by a new search functionality: As part of this new feature, when you tap on the search bar, we’ll suggest topics you may want to search for. Those suggestions, as well as the search results themselves, are limited to general interests, and weight loss should not have been one…This[…]

Twitter will reveal how its algorithmic biases cause ‘unintended harms’
Apr 15, 2021 | 16:13 pmTwitter has launched a new initiative called “Responsible ML” that will investigate the harms caused by the platform’s algorithms. The company said on Wednesday that it will use the findings to improve the experience on Twitter: This may result in changing our product, such as removing an algorithm and giving people more control over the images they Tweet, or in new standards into how we design and build policies when they have an outsized impact on one particular community. The move comes amid mounting concerns around social media algorithms amplifying biases and spreading conspiracy theories. [Read: The biggest tech trends of 2021, according…This[…]

Urbanista’s solar-powered ANC headphones never have to be charged
Apr 15, 2021 | 15:15 pmWe all know the term ‘wireless’ headphones is a big fat lie. No matter how long the battery life, you eventually need to charge them. And guess what: that involves a wire! Even with so-called wireless charging headphones, the charging stand involves a wire too. Urbanista‘s new Los Angeles headphones are solar-powered, so they can rightfully be called wireless headphones. At $199, they promise to never need to be connected so long as you have access to light — sunlight or otherwise. This is despite the fact that they feature active noise cancelation and ambient sound modes, features that use…This[…]

Google Earth’s stunning new feature is a timelapse of the entire friggin’ planet
Apr 15, 2021 | 13:17 pmGoogle has worked to refine the accuracy, visuals, and functionality of Google Earth over the years, making it the closest many of us will ever get to travel the world.
