Citroen announces Ami all-electric light quadricycle with 70km range

Image
Citroën has announced in France a new all-electric light quadricycle called Ami. Designed to compete with the Renault Twizy electric quadricycle that has been around in the European market since 2012, the Citroën Ami is capable of delivering a driving range of up to 70 kilometres on a single charge and a claimed top speed of 45 kilometres per hour. The Citroën Ami will be available in France from March 30 and in Spain, Italy, Belgium, Portugal, and Germany a few months later. Being a quadricycle, the Citroën Ami is about the same size as the Bajaj Qute that sells in India. Thanks to its symmetric exterior components, the Citroën Ami looks more or less the same whether it’s viewed from the front or back. In fact, Citroën has fitted a rear-hinged door on the driver’s side and a front-hinged door on the passenger’s side to maintain symmetry in the car’s design. On the inside, the little French quadricycle has two seats and a small dashboard with a dedicated smartphone holder. The Citro

YouTube TV will keep streaming Fox RSNs and YES Network during negotiations with Sinclair

Image
Sports fans don’t have to worry about their local teams disappearing from YouTube TV after all. Not yet, anyway. Last night, YouTube tweeted that it has agreed to a temporary extension with Sinclair Broadcast Group, which now owns many Fox-branded regional sports networks (RSNs) and the YES Network, to keep those channels in its lineup as the two sides hammer out a longer-term carriage agreement. Earlier in the week, YouTube TV emailed customers to notify them that the sports networks would likely be leaving the service on February 29th due to stalled talks on a renewal. “This is a reflection of the rising cost of sports content,” the company said in a follow-up tweet. “You may have noticed several other TV services have also decided to...

9 new trailers you should watch this week

Image
Image: Amazon As the leader of The Verge’s Pride & Prejudice (2005) fan group, I obviously went to go see Emma last weekend. It was great! The trailer made me worried that the film would be too stylized and stark, but I was actually really impressed at how it balanced those elements were while still telling the straight story. The film uses a lot of the stylized humor to set up its characters and world, then slowly fades it out as the drama ratchets up. Emma’s father is constantly ridiculous, a key love interest is dressed down before he’s built back up, and a secondary character is annoying to exaggerated lengths, nicely setting up how she later impacts the plot. Finding that balance between stylized humor and natural storytelling always seems... Continue reading… from The Verge - All Posts https://ift.tt/2TrNFpX

How to stop Spectrum junk mail

Image
Photo by Robert Alexander/Getty Images For years, I have been getting inundated with physical junk mail from my internet service provider (ISP), Charter Spectrum (formerly Time Warner Cable). In huge red capital letters, the envelopes are stamped “OPEN UPON RECEIPT” or “NOTICE” or “IMPORTANT ACCOUNT INFORMATION.” I always open them, just in case there is a legitimate problem and my internet is about to be shut off. Every single time, I get duped. Instead of legitimate account notices, the mailers are ads trying to get me to upgrade my plan or buy more services from Spectrum. In addition to tree-killing paper mailers I can at least recycle, Spectrum often likes to mix in unrecyclable thick plastic cards . It’s not like I can switch internet service providers to get away from... Continue reading… from The Verge - All Posts https://ift.tt/2VzZRYu

Bob Iger got Disney into the streaming wars, so what happens once he’s gone?

Image
Between 2006 and now, Disney spent around $100 billion to become the unbeatable giant it is today, snapping up Pixar, Marvel Studios, Lucasfilm , BAMTech , and 21st Century Fox . While the acquisitions were made as the result of teamwork across a number of divisions, they were mostly led by two people: Bob Iger, who was CEO up until Tuesday, and Kevin Mayer, head of Disney’s direct-to-consumer division and the man in charge of all things streaming . Now, with Iger preparing to leave by the end of 2021, all eyes are on what comes next for Mayer. Mayer helped develop Disney’s current streaming landscape and was largely seen as the company’s heir apparent . So it came as a surprise to many when Disney announced its parks head, Bob Chapek , would... Continue reading… from The Verge - All Posts https://ift.tt/2I8NdYu

Watch how PUBG Mobile has been keeping cheaters out of the game

Image
PUBG Mobile is not just about a hundred people fighting it out, keeping cheaters out is also a big fight for the developer in its goal to keep a fair and competitive environment in the game. The game released a behind-the-scene look at how they have been fighting cheaters using the Project: Ban Pan security system that results in the ban of about 8,000 accounts every day. Project: Ban Pan was showcased during the PUBG Mobile Club Open 2019 Fall Split Global Finals in December 2019 enforcing a zero-tolerance policy for cheating. The video is based on a real case of a cheater who got banned for ten years. Check it out below - PUBG Mobile also added a few new features to keep the game free of cheaters. Death Replay is one such feature available in the latest 0.17.0 update of the game. The update will be rolled out on March 3, and will let players see how they died in the game from the perspective of the opponent. There’s also a PUBG Mobile Safety Station, a website that gives players

OnePlus to reveal something on March 3, and its not the OnePlus 8

Image
There’s never a dull moment for the people at OnePlus. Just as the hype around the OnePlus Concept One was starting to simmer down, OnePlus UK’s twitter handle has announced the existence of another new product. A short video on the Twitter page lists March 3 2020 as the reveal date. The video shows a collection of pipes and metallic structures, without giving a clear idea of what the device could be. According to OnePlus UK’s tweet, this is not a smartphone or even a commercial product for that matter, leading us to believe that OnePlus may be gearing up to reveal another concept project to the world. Analysing the video, there seems to be a myriad of suggestions in there. At initial glance, the metallic parts seem to resemble the inside of a watch, but then we see a pipe-like structure that’s more commonly associated with the type of lens known as the probe lens. Briefly, we also see the number 6 machined into the side of one of the panels. Needless to say, the video is not giving

Google Authenticator app no longer safe thanks to new malware

Image
Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) was the industry’s answer to curbing illegitimate access for online accounts. This was especially the case to prevent bank accounts from being hacked and was eventually utilized by companies like Google, Facebook, Apple etc. Now a new security threat claims to be able to steal 2FA codes from the Google Authenticator. According to Threatfabric, new Android malware is capable of stealing 2FA codes from Google’s app. Typically apps like Google’s 2FA or even Microsoft’s App for that matter are considered safer than the SMS method of receiving 2FA codes. This was because SMS isn’t transmitted over a secure protocol and can be intercepted. Then there’s the additional threat of SIM cloning that has led to multiple counts of banking fraud in the past. Now, it would appear that Google’s 2FA app has also been proven to be vulnerable. According to Threatfabric, the malware is not yet being distributed or advertised on underground forums, suggesting that the hack

Hilary Duff publicly asks Disney to move Lizzie McGuire reboot to Hulu instead of Disney Plus

Image
Photo by: Aaron Poole/E! Entertainment/NBCU Photo Bank via Getty Images New Disney CEO Bob Chapek has only been on the job for a few days , and he’s already got a controversy to deal with. Hilary Duff, whose career was launched by the Disney Channel series Lizzie McGuire , is asking the company to move the in-the-works reboot off of Disney Plus and onto Hulu instead. The actress and singer posted the request on her Instagram on Friday night. “Was incredibly excited to launch ‘Lizzie’ on D+ and my passion remains,” Duff wrote. “However, I feel a huge responsibility to honor the fans’ relationship with Lizzie who, like me, grew up seeing themselves in her. I’d be doing a disservice to everyone by limiting the realities of a 30-year-old’s journey to live under the ceiling of a PG rating.” View this...

The Internet Archive’s VHS Vault will send you on a 90s nostalgia trip

Image
Photo credit should read KAZUHIRO NOGI/AFP via Getty Images The Internet Archive, perhaps best known for the extremely handy Wayback Machine you can use to find older versions of webpages, also has free movies, books, software, and music. Yet a little known part of the organization’s media trove includes uploaded recordings from VHS tapes, as I learned today thanks to this Vice article . They live on The VHS Vault , and as of this writing, there are more than 20,000 recordings you can peruse. A lot of the recordings are from the 90s, which is when I was a kid, so I’ve found a lot of stuff that has given me all sorts of nostalgic feels. Take, for example, this collection of Nickelodeon commercial breaks recorded in April 1998 : True 90s kids will also remember the greatest late-90s/early 2000s trend...

This indicates to health experts that the novel coronavirus — which causes the disease COVID-19 — is likely spreading through more than one community in the US. The Washington Post first reported news of the second case of community transmission in the US — a 65-year-old woman who had no known history of travel to any of the countries that have been hardest-hit by the disease. So far, more than 84,000 cases of COVID-19 have been confirmed around the world, and more than 2,800 people have died of the respiratory disease.

Google wants its apps back on Huawei devices, applies for a license

Image
Huawei’s ongoing tussle with the U.S government has been ongoing for a while now. Because of a trade ban imposed on the Chinese company, Huawei had to lose out on offering Google services and apps in its new smartphones. A new report now states Google is keen to starting working with Huawei again and wants its apps back on Huawei devices. Google has reportedly applied for a license to bundle Google apps in Huawei devices and effectively resume business with the Chinese tech giant. Just a few days earlier, Google had warned Huawei users not to side load Google apps for security reasons. Google play and Android Vice President, Sameer Samat told German news outlet DPA that Google has applied for a license but could not comment on when a decision based on the application will be made. Last year, Microsoft was granted a similar license to do business with Huawei and continue having Windows OS in Huawei laptops like MateBook 13. Google can technically argue with the same logic Microsoft a

Perhaps the Apex 2020 will see the light of day in a future event.

Apple may announce an iPad keyboard with a trackpad later this year

Apple is tipped to release a new iPad accessory this year. According to a new report, an iPad keyboard with a built-in trackpad could be incoming. It is rumored to be released alongside the next version of iPad Pro later this year. The leak comes after Apple was reported to bring an updated Smart Keyboard with a scissor-switch design. It could be similar to the design we have on the 16-inch MacBook Pro.  The latest development comes from The Information. It claims that Apple could be readying a new iPad keyboard with a built-in trackpad. Apple markets the iPad as an alternative to Windows laptops.
