Mobile streaming service Quibi is less than a month old, but it's already shoving its sticky little fingers where they don't belong.
A new report by Victory Medium researcher Zach Edwards has revealed Quibi leaked user's signup emails to multiple third-party advertisers, including Google, Snapchat, Facebook, and Twitter.
In order to create a Quibi account, new users were asked to provide an email address to which the company would send a confirmation link. However, unbeknownst to said users, clicking the link sent their email address to third-party advertisers and analytics companies in plain text. Read more...
Consumers aren't rushing to buy as many iPhones, iPads, or other Apple products as before the pandemic, but the company's services seem to be doing just fine.
During Thursday's earnings call, Apple disclosed that its services category, which includes the App Store and Apple TV+, hit an all-time revenue record of $13.3 billion for the second quarter.
The company saw strong performance within the App Store (for both downloads and search ads), Apple Music, video, and cloud services. App Store revenue also grew by double digits, as people continue to make in-app purchases and opt into subscriptions. Read more...
Reddit botched the rollout of a new feature that could have endangered some vulnerable users — and now it is eating crow.
On Wednesday, Reddit announced that it was initiating a limited rollout of a new group chat feature called "Start Chatting" that would allow subreddit members to speak directly with each other in chatrooms. It was originally positioned as a way for Redditors to connect with people during COVID-19 social distancing.
The problem? Not only was there no way for communities to opt out of the feature, but moderators also would not be able to, well, moderate them. In the over 1,500 comments to the original announcement, many mods quickly pointed out that this made the chat function ripe for abuse by trolls. Read more...
Apple will hand over millions of dollars to settle with plaintiffs who claim it disabled FaceTime on iPhone 4 and 4s devices in 2014 to save money.
As AppleInsider reports, when Apple introduced FaceTime, audio and video was transmitted between devices through two different methods: audio was sent via a peer-to-peer connection, while video was sent through third-party servers run by Akamai Technologies. This divided method worked for Apple for two years until 2012, when it was found that the company’s peer-to-peer method for audio breached patents held by security software and technology company VirnetX.

Google is facing anger from the German startup ecosystem for refusing to restructure ad payments linked to travel and transport bookings that were subsequently wiped out by the coronavirus crisis. TechCrunch has seen a letter addressed to Google that's co-signed by eight travel industry startups in which the tech giant is asked for flexibility in how it enforces payment terms around these earlier ad auctions. The eight startups represent €75M+ ($80M+) in ad revenues for Google in Q1 2020, per the letter.

Slippers and scented body wash are so overplayed. This Mother's Day, give the mom or mom figure in your life the ultimate gift of one less thing to worry about.
Chances are her mind's been on spring cleaning lately: It's that time of year again, after all, and being stuck inside for weeks on end has made a lot of us realize just how grody our homes actually are (especially if you live with a pet — shedding season is no joke). With that in mind, a new robot vacuum that does the *literal* dirty work for her could be just your ticket to Favorite Child status.
TL;DR: Get a better night's sleep with a Dyson air purifier on sale for $50 off at Best Buy as of April 30.
The American Lung Association recently released their 2020 State of the Air report which revealed that the number of people breathing low-quality air has increased by nearly 9 million since last year. If you're in an extremely populated city like we are (New York received a F as their air quality grade), you may be affected without even realizing it.
Besides taking small everyday steps to reduce your carbon footprint (like using biodegradable shopping bags and coffee pods), there isn't much you can do to control the overall air quality for public spaces. However, you can control your own private spaces. Your home can be completely changed just by placing an air purifier in a corner. Read more...
The Fund, an early-stage investment firm with a memorably straightforward name, is looking beyond New York City as it starts investing its second fund. Founders Jenny Fielding (who's also managing director at Techstars New York) and Scott Hartley (also co-founder and partner at Two Culture Capital) told me that in the past two years, they've already backed 52 New York City startups. "The seed funds in New York have all gone upstream," Fielding argued, making it harder for founders to get the smaller checks they need when they're getting started.

After news broke that the major hard drive companies have all been shipping SMR drives into various consumer products, some of the manufacturers involved have been clarifying which of their own HDDs are actually SMR drives instead of CMR. Toshiba is the latest company to release this information, though there are limits to its report that make it potentially less useful than we’d like.
Seagate has also deployed shingled magnetic recording to boost areal density of its drive platters, though the technology isn’t a great fit for consumer products.
As a reminder: SMR stands for Shingled Magnetic Recording and refers to the placement of tracks on the HDD platter itself. With conventional recording, a gap is left in-between each track, allowing the track to be individually read and written. With SMR, the tracks are layered directly next to each other, rather like shingles. This means that writing data to the drive requires reading and writing multiple tracks at once.
The impact on read speeds is small-to-nil, but the write speed impact for using SMR can be significant. There’s not a ton of data on how this hits consumer use-cases because, up until now, reviewers haven’t been treating SMR drives as if they were likely to wind up being used for primary hard drives. I’d be surprised if we don’t start seeing more reviews on this in short order.
In any event, here’s what Toshiba has to say. The P300 6TB HDWD260UZSVA and P300 4TB HDWD240UZSVA are both SMR desktop HDDs that Toshiba only ships to bulk OEMs — which means any laptop you buy with a 4TB or a 6TB Toshiba HDD has to be checked to see if it uses one of these two models. Retail P300 drives top out at 3TB.
Now, unlike the desktop family, multiple bulk and retail L200 laptop drives also use SMR, including:
The 1TB drives at 7mm thick are also impacted (HDWL110UZSVA, HDWL110EZSTA, and HDWL110XZSTA). The first is a bulk drive, the second two are retail products.
Unfortunately, because Toshiba is selling these drives in bulk, it may be difficult to make certain you aren’t buying one. ExtremeTech does not recommend using an SMR drive in a consumer system as primary storage unless you are specifically aware of its likely performance characteristics and do not mind them. The dramatically lower write performance that SMR offers in some instances is of less concern for personal backup drives or similar applications, but hard drives are already poor solutions for storage speed compared with SSDs, and SMR drives are lower than CMR (conventional magnetic recording) in several additional aspects.
We are glad Toshiba came forward with this information, but we can only recommend buying a system with a Toshiba HDD if you either know exactly what you’ll be getting into or can confirm you aren’t buying an SMR drive.
Ever since chiplets became a topic of discussion in the semiconductor industry, there’s been something of a fight over how to talk about them. It’s not unusual to see articles claiming that chiplets represent some kind of new advance that will allow us to return to an era of idealized scaling and higher performance generation.
There are two problems with this framing. First, while it’s not exactly wrong, it’s too simplistic and obscures some important details in the relationship between chiplets and Moore’s Law. Second, casting chiplets strictly in terms of Moore’s Law ignores some of the most exciting ideas for how we should use them in the future.
Chiplets Reverse a Long-Standing Trend Out of Necessity
The history of computing is the history of function integration. The very name integrated circuit recalls the long history of improving computer performance by building circuit components closer together. FPUs, CPU caches, memory controllers, GPUs, PCIe lanes, and I/O controllers are just some of the once-separate components that are now commonly integrated on-die.
Chiplets fundamentally reverse this trend by breaking once-monolithic chips into separate functional blocks based on how amenable these blocks are to further scaling. In AMD’s case, I/O functions and the chip’s DRAM channels are built on a 14nm die from GF (using 12nm design rules), while the actual chiplets containing the CPU cores and the L3 cache were scaled down on TSMC’s new node.
Prior to 7nm, we didn’t need chiplets because it was still more valuable to keep the entire chip unified than to break it into pieces and deal with the higher latency and power costs.
Epyc’s I/O die, as shown at AMD’s New Horizon event.
Do chiplets improve scaling by virtue of focusing that effort where it’s needed most? Yes.
Is it an extra step that we didn’t previously need to take? Yes.
Chiplets are both a demonstration of how good engineers are at finding new ways to improve performance and a demonstration of how continuing to improve performance requires compromising in ways that didn’t used to be necessary. Even if they allow companies to accelerate density improvements, they’re still only applying those improvements to part of what has typically been considered a CPU.
Also, keep in mind that endlessly increasing transistor density is of limited effectiveness without corresponding decreases in power consumption. Higher transistor densities also inevitably mean a greater chance of a performance-limiting hot spot on the die.
Chiplets: Beyond Moore’s Law
The most interesting feature of chiplets, in my own opinion, has nothing to do with their ability to drive future density scaling. I’m very curious to see if we see firms deploying chiplets made from different types of semiconductors within the same CPU. The integration of different materials, like III-V semiconductors, could allow for chiplet-to-chiplet communication to be handled via optical interconnects in future designs, or allow a conventional chiplet with a set of standard CPU cores to be paired with, say, a spintronics-based chip built on gallium nitride.
We don’t use silicon because it’s the highest-performing transistor material. We use silicon because it’s affordable, easy to work with, and doesn’t have any enormous flaws that limit its usefulness in any particular application. Probably the best feature of chiplets is the way they could allow a company like Intel or AMD to take a smaller risk on adopting a new material for silicon engineering without betting the entire farm in the process.
Imagine a scenario where Intel or AMD wanted to introduce a chiplet-based CPU with four ultra-high-performance cores built with something like InGaAs (indium gallium arsenide), and 16 cores based on improved-but-conventional silicon. If the InGaAs project fails, the work done on the rest of the chip isn’t wasted and neither company is stuck starting from scratch on an entire CPU design.
The idea of optimizing chiplet design for different types of materials and use-cases within the same SoC is a logical extension of the trend towards specialization that created chiplets themselves. Intel has even discussed using III-V semiconductors like InGaAs before, though not since ~2015, as far as I know.
The most exciting thing about chiplets, in my opinion, isn’t that they offer a way to keep packing transistors. It’s that they may give companies more latitude to experiment with new materials and engineering processes that will accelerate performance or improve power efficiency without requiring them to deploy these technologies across an entire SoC simultaneously. Chiplets are just one example of how companies are rethinking the traditional method of building products with an eye towards improving performance through something other than smaller manufacturing nodes. The idea of getting rid of PC motherboards or of using wafer-scale processing to build super-high-performance processors are both different applications of the same concept: Radically changing our preconceived notions on what a system looks like in ways that aren’t directly tied to Moore’s Law.

Videoconferencing app Zoom has experienced a surge in popularity amid the coronavirus pandemic, and the company itself quantified that surge as rising from 10 million to 300 million daily active users from December 2019 to April 2020.
These numbers were quoted by numerous media outlets (Mashable included), but, as noticed by The Verge, the company has since changed the wording in the blog post from "daily users" to "daily meeting participants."
"We are humbled and proud to help over 300 million daily meeting participants stay connected during this pandemic. In a blog post on April 22, we unintentionally referred to these participants as “users” and “people.” When we realized this error, we adjusted the wording to “participants.” This was a genuine oversight on our part," the company told the outlet in a statement.

Radio is alive and well, despite what you may have been led to believe. The likes of Amazon Music and Spotify were supposed to bring about a changing of the guard but radio has stubbornly refused to go anywhere, and that's a good thing.
Millions of people still tune in to their favourite shows every week, despite all of the podcasts and on-demand music on offer. This is due in part to the growing popularity of DAB (digital audio broadcasting) radio, which allows for less interference, more stations, and a stronger signal. Sounds pretty good, right?
Elon Musk is having a rough 24 hours, and if his Twitter followers don't like it, then they can just get bent.
The Tesla CEO made waves late last night for a bizarre rant about "freedom," only to completely melt down during a Wednesday Tesla earnings call when asked about Bay Area shelter-in-place orders.
Musk's appetite for self-righteousness apparently wasn't sated, however, and following the call he hopped on Twitter to tell his 33.4 million followers that if they didn't like his misrepresentation of facts then they should get lost.
Notably, Musk claimed incorrectly (among other things) that Bay Area officials are "forcibly imprisoning people in their homes." To be clear, they are not. Read more...
It probably comes as a shock to no one that people are using Facebook and its additional social media platforms more than ever while under lockdown.
During Wednesday's earnings call, the company announced it's seen a huge spike in its monthly active users with a 10 percent year over year increase.
On the call, Facebook founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg revealed that for the first time ever more than three billion people have been using Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, or Messenger each month.
This includes 2.6 billion people using Facebook alone and more than 2.3 billion people using at least one of its services each day. Read more...
TikTok has surpassed 2 billion downloads, mobile app analytics company Sensor Tower reported Wednesday. (April 29). The 315 million installs it gained in Q1 of 2020 alone also reportedly give it the title of "most downloads for any app ever in a quarter."

Sensor Tower is attributing the burst in downloads at least in part to the global pandemic. While it notes that TikTok has been consistently on the rise, Sensor Tower views the spike in downloads over the last two months as a consequence of people being confined to their homes and, frankly, bored.

Elon Musk had even more to say about social distancing measures after he rage-tweeted on the topic Wednesday morning.
Tesla's first quarter earnings call Wednesday afternoon started with prepared marks from CEO Elon Musk that noticeably and awkwardly avoided mentioning coronavirus or anything about the pandemic.
But as the call progressed, Musk's true feelings about shelter-in-place requirements, like those in the Bay Area that are keeping his Fremont, California car plant shut down until at least June, surfaced. He could barely contain himself as he used profanity to describe his thoughts on shelter-in-place efforts to curb the spread of COVID-19. Read more...

Samsung made a big deal of the Galaxy S20 Ultra’s camera at the announcement earlier this year, but reviews have been tepid. The camera setup on this $1,400 phone might not live up to expectations, but perhaps Samsung will address that with software updates. One thing updates can’t fix is shattered glass, and an increasing number of S20 Ultra owners say their camera modules have cracked for no apparent reason.
The Galaxy S20 Ultra has a humongous camera module on the back with a 108MP primary sensor, 12MP ultra-wide, 48MP 4x telephoto, and a time-of-flight 3D sensor. Like other phones, the camera sensors are under a piece of scratch-resistant glass. However, even the latest versions of high-end Gorilla Glass can crack under the right conditions.
Numerous S20 Ultra owners have taken to Samsung’s forums and Reddit to complain about mysterious damage to their camera glass. Most of the images they’ve shared show small “punctures” directly over the camera lenses. Other users complain of hairline cracks that appear seemingly out of nowhere. All the victims of this damage swear up and down they didn’t drop their phones, and many claim the damage happened spontaneously while the device was in a pocket or bag.
Even though Samsung’s S20 sales are reportedly not meeting expectations, they’re still selling a lot of phones compared with any other OEM. There will inevitably be some people with defects or accidental damage making noise on the internet. Admittedly, the shattered glass on these phones looks very unusual. I don’t think I’ve seen a phone break in this way before.
The S20 Ultra’s giant camera assembly (far right), courtesy of iFixit.
Hardened glass does get weaker as panel size increases, but manufacturers compensate for that in screens by bonding the glass to the OLED or LCD panel underneath. It’s possible that the S20 Ultra’s oversized camera module is just too big, making it easier to damage the glass simply by carrying the phone around.
Damage to the glass makes the cameras behind them essentially useless, so most have reached out to Samsung for help. Naturally, Samsung support has given these customers the cold shoulder. The company’s warranty doesn’t cover cosmetic damage, so the only option is to pay to have the camera glass replaced. Samsung’s official repair centers have quoted customers $400 for a fix, or $100 for those with Samsung Premium Care subscriptions. At that price, it’s likely Samsung will replace the entire camera module rather than just the glass. The company has thus far refused to admit there’s a problem with the phone, and forum moderators have removed many of the complaints. It’ll take a much more widespread pattern before Samsung changes its tune.
The makers of the world's most ethical smartphone, the Fairphone 3, have teamed up for a version of the device with even less big tech on board.

When the Fairphone 3 launched last September it came with Android 9 preloaded.
