Game of Thrones Hope Chest: which character do you most need to see survive?

Game of Thrones has never been about giving readers or viewers what they most want. Its author and screenwriters prefer to build fan expectations, then overturn them for narrative impact and, sometimes, pure shock value. Yet, fans maintain hope that at least a few of the characters will reach a satisfying, well-deserved ending. So it’s time for the return of Game of Thrones Hope Chest, the weekly poll where we put all of our hopes together in one place. We aren’t asking what you think is going to happen on Game of Thrones. We’re asking: what do you most hope to see happen?

This week, we’re talking about character deaths. For some fans, there are certainly good reasons to hope some Game of Thrones characters die in the upcoming Battle of...

DJI denies that it’s discontinuing its iconic Phantom drones

See the picture at the top of this post? I don’t need to tell you that’s a DJI Phantom, because you already know. It’s an instantly recognizable, practically prototypical drone design that’s attracted imitators around the world — and now, rumor has it that owner DJI is killing it off for good.

Well, it’s a little more than a rumor, because DJI’s own Director of Public Safety Integration Romeo Durscher said as much on a podcast last month: “Yes, the Phantom line with the exception of the Phantom 4 Pro RTK has come to an end,” he told the Drone Owners Network, as spotted by DroneDJ.

Durscher’s answer was in response to a question that’s been on drone enthusiasts’ minds for a while now: What happened to the Phantom 4? Because every single...

United Airlines says it’s now covering those surprise seatback webcams

United Airlines has begun physically covering built-in webcams on in-flight entertainment devices following privacy concerns, according to a report from BuzzFeed. The screens, enterprise-grade tablets provided to United by the aviation equipment division of Panasonic, are said to come with built-in webcams by default, with Panasonic executives claiming the cameras could one day provide improved entertainment features like seat-to-seat video calling and even gaming. United claims it did not specially order its screens with webcams.

“As with many other airlines, some of our premium seats have in-flight entertainment systems that came with cameras installed by the manufacturer. All cameras have since been covered, which were never...

Elon Musk agrees to more oversight on his Tesla tweets

Elon Musk has agreed to more specific oversight on his tweets about Tesla. After weeks of negotiation, Musk and the Securities and Exchange Commission decided Friday that Musk must have a company lawyer pre-approve tweets about Tesla’s financial health, sales, or delivery numbers — estimated or otherwise — as well as other specific subjects, according to a new court filing.

The two sides filed late Friday to amend the settlement agreement reached last year over the “funding secured” debacle, which originally prompted the SEC to attempt to install oversight over Musk’s tweets. US District Court Judge Alison Nathan, who presided over the case, still needs to approve Friday’s amendment.

According to the filing, Musk now needs Tesla’s...

Bill Nye wants to educate the public about science with his new podcast

If you grew up in the 1990s, you’re probably familiar with Bill Nye. He was the host of the popular PBS series Bill Nye the Science Guy, a TV program that ran for a hundred episodes and introduced kids to a range of science concepts. More recently, he hosted Bill Nye Saves the World, a Netflix series designed to educate the wider public about the importance of science. Now, Nye has a new project: a science-themed podcast called Science Rules, which will launch on May 16th.

Unlike his TV programs, Nye’s new podcast is a bit more interactive. In it, he’ll be taking audience calls to answer various questions about science, and he’ll be accompanied by veteran science journalist Corey S. Powell, and a number of guests to help out each...

These are all the podcast networks and creators who pulled their shows from Luminary

In just the three days since it launched, the podcast startup Luminary has lost access to shows from multiple major networks, which have pulled their content over its business practices, and lost the faith of the industry it wanted to please. Luminary users and paying subscribers are now left without access to major podcasts, including The Daily, The Joe Rogan Experience, and Blackout.

Shows from Gimlet Media, Anchor, and Parcast — all Spotify entities — weren’t on the platform from the start, which means listeners can’t access major programs like Reply All and Homecoming. Also since launch, The New York Times has withheld its prized show The Daily, even though it lists 12 other shows on Luminary. In a comment to The Verge at the time, N...

Google bans app developer with 600 million downloads for being a fake click factory

Google is banning a popular Chinese developer from its Google Play Store and systematically removing dozens of its apps after BuzzFeed and security researchers discovered that the developer was committing ad fraud and abusing user permissions. The Chinese developer DO Global, which is partly owned by Baidu, was found to be producing fake ad clicks to gain revenue, among other fraudulent practices.

“We take our responsibility to protect users and advertisers seriously, and invest in tools and resources to fight fraud and abuse globally. We actively investigate malicious behavior, and when we find violations, we take action, including the removal of a developer’s ability to monetize their app with AdMob or publish on Play,” Google told T...

Cox wants gamers to pay an extra $15 for ‘elite’ internet that isn’t actually faster

Internet provider Cox is offering a $15 / month service that it dubs Cox Elite Gamer, an internet bill add-on that the company claims will optimize the connection between players and video game servers for hugely popular titles like Fortnite, Apex Legends, and Overwatch. For customers who sign up for the service, Cox says it will seek out the most efficient path to a game’s server. Theoretically, this could result in reduced ping and a lower latency, which is a huge factor in any shooter like those mentioned above. But is it all snake oil nonsense?

For one, Cox Elite Gamer doesn’t actually speed up your internet connection itself; the ISP told Motherboard that “it does not alter speed in any way, nor does it prioritize any traffic over...

Blackmagic eGPU Pro mini-review: Quiet, fast, and extremely expensive—like a Mac

There are many criticisms of Apple's Mac products, but one of the most commonly cited is that they often don't have graphics power that's comparable to what you'd see in similarly priced Windows machines. Unfortunately, the company currently offers no desktop tower in which you could, say, slot two super-powerful gaming graphics cards, either.

Some of that could change soon when Apple moves to its own silicon on Macs or when it introduces a new Mac Pro. But for now, the company's official answer to this line of criticism is doubling down on external GPU support in macOS. Support for this began during the High Sierra cycle and was expanded upon in some helpful ways in last year's Mojave OS release.

In addition to providing software support for eGPUs, Apple has developed what is more or less its official-ish eGPU solution, in much the same way that a couple of LG's monitors have been Apple's recommended external displays for a while now. The company did so by partnering with hardware-maker Blackmagic Design, an Australia-based company that specializes in products for video professionals. The first eGPU from Blackmagic included an AMD Radeon Pro 580 and was priced at $699. We reviewed it late last summer and found that—while it was quiet and easy to use, and the GPU was a big upgrade over the integrated graphics in many Macs—we wished a higher-end GPU option was offered for creative professionals and hardcore gamers who needed more.
