Illustration by Nick Barclay / The Verge Facebook is announcing a host of updates to its platform today, many of which focus on pushing users outside of their social bubble of friends and family. Among the updates are new tabs being added to Facebook that are meant to surface more content for users, including recommendations based on a person’s location. A new “Local” tab will collect content from other Facebook surfaces like the resale platform Marketplace, local groups, and events — essentially what sounds like Facebook’s version of Nextdoor. The Local tab is being tested in 10 US cities including New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, and Austin, Texas. Facebook will also begin testing an “Explore” tab, which sounds similar to the Instagram feature of the same name: a personalized... Continue reading…

Photo by Vlad Savov / The Verge A Samsung smart home software update released this week put some users’ Galaxy S10 and Note 10 (including e, Lite, Plus, and 5G versions) and A90 and M51 smartphones in an infinite boot loop, rendering their devices useless. After some sleuthing, Reddit users narrowed it down to a Samsung SmartThings framework app update that was automatically applied to the devices. According to posts on Reddit, Samsung replaced the buggy update with a new version that won’t brick the five-year-old devices. (The Galaxy S10 series was released in 2019.) Still, some users recommend staying cautious and turning off auto-updates anyway. Samsung service centers in Korea reportedly have a fix for the problem that avoids a factory reset and the associated data... Continue reading…

Illustration: The Verge A popular financial newsletter is accusing Roblox of allowing large-scale child sexual exploitation and inappropriate content on its platform, drawing on years of media reports. The allegations are detailed in The Bear Cave, a short selling newsletter — but Roblox says The Bear Cave’s founder is highlighting rare instances of abuse to profit by making the service look bad. “This article contains misleading, irresponsible and in many cases false accusations about Roblox to further the author’s motives as a short seller,” Eric Porterfield, Roblox’s senior director of policy communications, told The Verge. “We reject the claim that child endangerment is a widespread or systemic problem on Roblox, and millions of people have a safe and...

Rep. Andy Harris, R-Md., told Newsmax on Friday that the tentative 62% pay raise the striking longshoremen negotiated will have a negative effect on the economy by driving up prices beyond what they already are as a result of inflation.

Washington DC—The wave of automation has finally reached the nation’s capitol as the entire US Congress and staff will be replaced with automated tellers in the coming weeks, amid talks of Congress getting a raise. “At $174,000 a year and a substantial amount for life, that was getting pretty expensive,” President Trump’s legislative liaison Marjory Jenkins said. “So, we decided what was best for the country and the taxpayer was to just replace every representative and senator with a computer.” The automated tellers are programmed to give canned responses to constituents’ questions, just like the real politicians. “I wrote my automated senator about a very important topic to us all,” Jills Leland said, “and the machine thanked me for caring about the community and said that my concerns were being addressed and then it didn’t do anything about it. It was just like my real senator!” “Plus, we don’t have to worry about health care and all the other associated costs,” Jenkins continued. The plan is projected to save billions of dollars a year, especially considering all the staffers that come with the legislators. People love the convenience. “I was never able to meet my representative,” Sherry Phillips of Des Moines said, “but with these machines, I can get the same non-response I would’ve gotten from him within seconds.” “$175,000 minimum wage for Congresspeople is absurd. It’s about time Congress optimized!” Originally published March 16, 2019. The post Costly Congresspeople to be replaced with automated tellers appeared first on Genesius Times.

I love you forever and beyond. Mama,” Helen wrote.
