Photo by Oliver Morin / AFP via Getty Images On today’s episode of Decoder, I sat down with Joseph Cox, one of the best cybersecurity reporters around. Joseph spent a long time working at Vice’s tech vertical Motherboard, but last year, after Vice imploded, he and three other journalists co-founded a new site, called 404 Media, where they’re doing some really great work. Somehow, on top of all that, Joseph also found time to write a new book coming out in June called Dark Wire: The Incredible True Story of the Largest Sting Operation Ever, and I can’t recommend it enough. It’s basically a caper, but with the FBI running a phone network. For real. Criminals like drug traffickers represent a market for encrypted, secure communications away from the eyes of law enforcement. In the... Continue reading…

Image: Netflix Cozy Grove: Camp Spirit, from Spry Fox games, will soon be added to Netflix’s ever-expanding lineup of games. Camp Spirit is the follow-up to Cozy Grove, an Animal Crossing-inspired crafting and survival game, but with ghosts instead of dog musicians and tanuki low-interest home loan providers. In Camp Spirit, you’ll fulfill the wishes of dearly departed bears. (For a studio called Spry Fox, it’s kinda hilarious that nearly all of its games focus on bears.) You’ll also work on improving your haunted island, turning it into a lively community for the deceased. Netflix began its gaming initiative in 2021 and hasn’t shown any signs of slowing down. In addition to becoming the exclusive mobile publisher for highly popular console games... Continue reading…

There’s something charmingly retro-futuristic about Daylight’s whole vision. | Image: Daylight Computer There’s a new company in the race to make a less distracting, more minimalist, and generally sanity-saving kind of computer. It’s called Daylight Computer, and it’s launching its first device today: the DC1, a 10.5-inch tablet with some interesting ideas about gadget design. The DC1’s main hook is its display. Daylight calls it a “LivePaper” screen and says it looks like E Ink but is smooth and responsive like a traditional LCD. This is... not otherwise a thing that exists, at least not yet, and in general, anyone that promises an “E Ink-like” LCD screen is seriously overselling their product. But Daylight believes it has invented something genuinely new and better. If so, it would be a pretty exciting combination of iPad and Kindle.... Continue reading…

For years, rumors have said that Apple is working on a foldable iPhone as well as larger devices with foldable displays. The iPhone maker isn't in a hurry to compete against Samsung's Galaxy Z flagships, however, instead biding its time until better foldable tech is available. More recently, reports have claimed that Apple could debut a foldable Mac or iPad next year. A foldable iPhone might follow a year later. Apple is easily one of the most secretive tech companies out there. It will never confirm rumors about unreleased products that may or may not be in development. But there is a different kind of leak that almost always comes true: Samsung Galaxy rumors. It just so happens that there's a somewhat exciting Galaxy Z Fold 6 leak out there that might be very relevant for the foldable iPhone of the future. Apparently, Samsung will reduce the visibility of the crease that appears in the hinge section of a foldable display. That's a key innovation that Apple will surely want before it's willing to release a foldable smartphone of its own. Continue reading...
