Stop screenshotting, Twitter can now share your tweets straight to Instagram

There’s always that ONE friend who posts screenshots of their tweets to Instagram to score some much-needed validation. If you don’t have such friends, you probably are that friend. Now, Twitter is testing a way to share tweets directly to Instagram. The company announced last night that it’s rolling out this feature to its iOS app for now. When you’ll hit the share button under a tweet, you’ll see the... Read more â€ș

Facebook turns WhatsApp into a shopping hub with virtual storefronts

Facebook has slowly but surely been looking for ways to monetize its investment in WhatsApp, adding new several features for businesses over the past few years. Now the company is turning it into a straight-up shopping hub — in a few countries, at least. Facebook introduced Shops in 2020 as a way to turn Facebook and Instagram pages into digital storefronts, with a particular emphasis on small businesses. The company... Read more â€ș

The app has launched a game called Hot Takes that connects potential spouses in a speed dating-style game that’s now available every day from 6PM-midnight local time. Users will first be shown some multiple-choice questions, such as: “Which of these is most pretentious? Bragging you don’t have TikTok, natural wine, saying your found something first, or or Oxford... Read more â€ș

This UFO expert is excited about the Pentagon’s new report — but don’t expect aliens

2020 will forever be the year of COVID-19, but it has a different meaning for UFO enthusiasts. This marked the time when the Pentagon’s covert UFO operation became an above board government program. And on Friday June 25, it will publish its first report covering 120 UFO sightings. Does this means aliens exist? Disappointingly, the Pentagon will probably point to high-tech aircraft by Russia or China as an explanation. Still,... Read more â€ș

Meet Earth 300, the superyacht that aims to be the ‘Noah’s Ark of science’

Say hello to Earth 300, the beautiful research supervessel that aims to be the “Noah’s Ark of science.” Does that mean it only has two of everything on board? Or that the Big Guy Up There is about to smite the planet?  No. And I’m not sure. But let’s have another look at it.  Earth 300’s mission is to ensure humanity’s survival by addressing its biggest threats, especially regarding environmental... Read more â€ș

EU says YouTube’s not (always) responsible for user copyright infringements

YouTube has won a skirmish in its copyright war with the EU’s creative industries, but suffered some losses on the way. Europe’s top court ruled on Tuesday that YouTube and other online platforms are not responsible for copyright-infringing material uploaded by users. However, they could be liable if they fail to act “expeditiously” to remove or block content once they’re aware of breaches. They could also be liable if they... Read more â€ș

At around 4pm EDT on June 13, the payload computer on the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) experienced a failure, leading to a shutdown of the world’s best-known spaceborne observatory.

Uber and Lyft donated to community groups who then pushed the companies’ agenda

At the end of February, an impassioned op-ed appeared in The Chicago Crusader, a well-established Black newspaper in the city. Titled “Why Independent Workers Want to Stay Independent,” the op-ed argued that gig economy companies like Uber and Lyft are a “lifeline” to communities of color by providing “a flexible way to work.” One week later the exact same op-ed was published in the bilingual El Dia Newspaper. Two months... Read more â€ș

Everything and everyone should be a Clubhouse clone

Since Clubhouse launched and put all the worst parts of podcasting into one neat package, companies have been keen to cash in. Just think of the Clubhouse clones we’ve seen already. There’s Twitter Spaces. Who could forget Reddit Talk?  Even Spotify has got on the trend with Greenroom. And, just yesterday, Facebook finally launched Live Audio Rooms. But you know what? This isn’t enough. We need more Clubhouse clones. Everyone... Read more â€ș

We have Tesla’s new supercomputer to blame for its Autopilot tech switch

Tesla announced last month that it’s ditching radar sensors from its Model 3 and Model Y EVs for a camera-based autonomous driving system, called the Tesla Vision – but just for the North American market. Tesla’s move made absolutely no sense and it even cost the company the safety recognition by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). But new details from the company’s Senior Director of Artificial Intelligence, Andrej...

Why is ransomware on the rise?

Two high-profile cyberattacks on critical infrastructure companies over the past month have shone what experts say is a much-needed spotlight on the rising threat of ransomware. An attack against Colonial Pipeline in May forced the company to temporarily shut down 5,500 miles of pipeline that it said supplies nearly 45 percent of the East Coast’s fuel. Colonial eventually paid the extortionists—a group known as DarkSide—nearly $5 million in Bitcoin. The... Read more â€ș

TikTok’s clever new feature dispenses with the ‘link in bio’ nonsense

When you’re watching a cooking TikTok, it can be annoying to manually note down the ingredients, or follow the link in the creator’s bio to see the recipe. However, the app has a nifty new feature that solves this problem. TikTok released a function called Jump that lets creators use mini-apps with their videos. Here’s how it works: if the feature is enabled, you can include a link for showing... Read more â€ș

Clubhouse accidentally leaked its Backchannel for DMs feature

While Clubhouse is very popular among live-audio social network enthusiasts, it lacks one major feature users would give anything for: direct messages. It’s annoying when you’re engaged in a lively room, and want to connect to someone, you have to go to their profile, find their Twitter or Instagram handle and message them there. That’s probably about to change. [Read: Why entrepreneurship in emerging markets matters] Clubhouse accidentally leaked its... Read more â€ș

Review: The Tenways ebike is a lightweight, stealthy steal for under $1500

We have a rule about crowdfunding campaigns here at TNW: with rare exceptions, we don’t cover crowdfunded products unless they’re from an already established company with a proven track record or we get to demo a fully functional prototype. With the Tenways C-Go 600 ebike, it was the latter case. And I’m really glad I did get to try it because this ebike is fantastic — no gimmicks necessary. At... Read more â€ș

Facebook welcomes Team Trump back with open arms and wallets

Facebook is doing a terrible job of banning Donald Trump from its platform. From its failure to hold the former president accountable for the myriad misinformation campaigns conducted on his behalf by members of his campaign team from 2015 through 2018, to the most recent nonsense, it’s apparent that Facebook’s somehow vested in keeping Trump on the social network. Up front: Facebook’s allowing “Team Trump,” a Page directly associated with... Read more â€ș

No. Just no. GPT-3 did not create a video game

GPT-3 is arguably the world’s most advanced text-generator. It was trained using supercomputing clusters, a nearly internet-sized dataset, and 175 billion parameters. It’s among the most impressive generative AI systems ever created. But it absolutely did not create a video game. You may have read otherwise. But it’s what you didn’t read that matters. Background GPT-3, for those who aren’t in the know, is a big powerful AI system that... Read more â€ș

As EV sales are surging, Europe is trying to enhance its capacity to produce batteries domestically, instead of fully relying on Asian countries such as China, Japan, and South Korea, which are currently the major global manufacturers. As of May 2021, 38 battery cell gigafactories are being built or planned in Europe and the UK, according to the latest report by the non-governmental organization Transport & Environment.  Out of the...
