    We’re getting a full-size Portal pinball table before Portal 3

    Google starts deprecating older, more capable Chrome extensions next week

    Google will be removing Manifest v2 code. Microsoft is the only other Blink/v8 user with the resources to maintain a significant fork, and they've already said they will be following Google's lead on this. Other Chromium clones will not have a choice in the matter. As I understand it, Brave's...

    Over a decade later, climate scientist prevails in libel case

    Might be worth adding a moderation note to the first comment that linked to Pielke's blog, or even just breaking the link. No need for Ars to allow that commenter to send traffic to a climate denier's bullshit.

    Apple plans biggest iPad Pro update since 2018

    I think doing away with backlight bleed/bloom (especially with white-on-black text) would still qualify OLED screens to be called "crisper" than LCD screens of the same resolution.

    API pricing protests caused Reddit to crash for 3 hours

    A bunch of subs have already said they are dark for an indeterminate time, and several are explicitly dark until and unless Reddit comes to its senses. After the AMA last week I suspect a lot of other mods are debating doing the same now.

    Apple releases macOS 10.13.1 and iOS 11.1 with a KRACK fix and new emoji

    Please report back when you've had some time with it! Ever since I installed iOS 11 I've noticed my 6 exhibiting an annoying battery drain, and it also often has an unresponsive touchscreen for a while after launching an app or switching between them.

    Wireless Oculus VR grows up with new, incredible “Santa Cruz” demos

    I'm 99.999% sure HTC Vive is already inside-out. Valve's Base Stations paint the room with IR beams that sensors in SteamVR devices (currently just the Vive headset and controllers, IIRC) pick up. There are no sensors or cameras in the Base Stations, only in the wearable devices. The Wii wand...

    Twitter explains why Trump can use site as venue for violence, hate

    I choose Pai. He always looks like he's tea-bagging a bowl full of Icy Hot while trying to keep a straight face because he's FaceTiming with his grandma.
