UE’s Boom app on Android stopped supporting Amazon Alexa in its latest update

UE Boom’s latest app update removes its compatibility with Amazon Alexa. They put out a joint statement to The Verge explaining they’re focusing on their core product.

The new version no longer supports alarms or Amazon Alexa, according to the update notes on Google Play. The company explained that they introduced the update to the app to focus “on enhancing the core functionality of the speakers.” The company noted that Alexa will continue to be available on its Blast and Megablast speakers.

Many users have left one-star reviews complaining the new update slows down the app. Users have noted that the ability to remotely power up UE devices has disappeared as well.

Huawei adds new colors to the P20 Pro plus leather back options for China

Remember how I told you Huawei’s excellent P20 Pro was a phone that would frustrate Americans with its absence from their market? Well, this week at IFA, that device became even more aggravating, as Huawei introduced four new variants: two new color options and two real-leather backs that look and feel lovely.

Firstly, the colors: one of them flips the gradient of the original Twilight P20 Pro, with the darker side now being at the bottom and the radiant blue topping the phone like the glow of a distant flame. Huawei calls this Morpho Aurora, because the gradient does indeed morph and change depending on the angle you look at the phone from. I like the original P20 Pro’s gradient finish, and I like this new one even better. The white P20...

10 new trailers you should watch this week

I’d wanted to watch The Beatles’ movie Help! for some time after having seen clips of its slapstick and absurdist humor in, I think, a film class years ago. I finally got around to it the other weekend, and the film’s comedy really is quite often surprisingly timeless and fun in its silliness.

But there’s also a lot about the movie that stands out very poorly five decades later: namely, the film’s villains are an odd, offensive mashup of cultures, that seems to conflate Hinduism with Aztec sacrifices. The film doesn’t ascribe this religion to any one country or group, but it broadly references “Eastern” culture even while casting all white actors and using what is frequently Indian or Middle Eastern imagery.

There’s a very good chance...

9 science fiction and fantasy books coming out this September you should add to your reading list

We’re going to start doing something a little different with our monthly book list here on The Verge: we’re shifting this column from a monthly schedule to a bi-weekly one. Each list will be a bit shorter and hopefully, a bit less daunting than a longer list.

Speaking of shorter and less daunting, I packed two books when I went on a trip out of state recently: The Black God’s Drums by P. Djèlí Clark and War Cry by Brian McClellan. The two are fantasy novellas from Tor’s Tor.com imprint, and each are tiny adventures set in a much larger world.

The Black God’s Drums is set in an alternate 19th century where the American Civil War persisted long past 1865. In New Orleans, a young girl named Creeper overhears a group of Confederate...

California is leading the state-by-state fight for net neutrality

Last year’s FCC decision to repeal net neutrality was arguably the most unpopular tech policy decision in the history of the modern internet. The repeal not only resulted in an unprecedented public backlash, but prompted numerous states to immediately begin exploring new state-level alternatives in the wake of the FCC’s retreat. Now, instead of one fight on the federal level, telecom giants like AT&T, Verizon and Comcast face countless state-level efforts to keep their monopoly power in check.

On the federal level, the FCC’s “Restoring Internet Freedom” order not only obliterated popular net neutrality rules, but crippled the agency’s ability to protect consumers from a seemingly endless parade of bad ISP behavior, from historically...

The viral ‘Johny, Johny’ kids’ videos are a godforsaken nightmare

Over the years, the sector of YouTube dedicated to children’s entertainment has become notorious for its deep well of barely filtered trash. The lack of sufficient algorithmic moderation has been shown to be actually harmful in recent years: in 2017, The New York Times published a lengthy piece exploring the dark side of children’s YouTube, one that shed light on a growing trove of graphic videos that had been slipping past YouTube’s Kids app filter.

Unbeknownst to some parents, their kids had been watching videos of Spider-Man peeing on Frozen’s Elsa, or the Paw Patrol team visiting a strip club, or Mickey Mouse getting run over and bleeding out in the street. While YouTube claims these videos rarely beat their algorithm and have since...

Bohemian Rhapsody and the long-running tradition of hiding jokes in tweets

Last week, Twitter user @CostcoRiceBag revealed that for the last four months, her tweets contained a hidden message. The University of Minnesota senior (real name Madie) carefully strung together tweets that — when looked at as a combination of only the first words in each — re-created Queen’s “Bohemian Rhapsody.”

Madie’s goof is the latest of several similar schemes to go viral. Clever and very dedicated, users have dunked on their followers with everything from Smash Mouth lyrics to Twitter rickrolls. One particularly impressive example includes over 500 tweets that form a secret tribute to Avril Lavigne. It’s a process that requires planning and patience for a payoff that, if lucky, might result in 15 minutes of viral fame.

Four Tinder plaintiffs drop out of lawsuit because Match might have quietly changed their contracts

They all seemingly signed the arbitration agreement.

Apple self-driving test car gets rear-ended by a Nissan Leaf in first ever crash

One of Apple’s autonomous cars, which are currently driving around Sunnyvale, California and other nearby Silicon Valley cities, got into its very first crash one week ago, according to a report filed with the California Department of Motor Vehicles. Like many self-driving car crashes, this one was not the software’s fault.

The Apple car, a modified Lexus RX450h SUV carrying special equipment and sensors, was traveling at just 1 mph while preparing to merge onto the Lawrence Expressway in Sunnyvale when a Nissan Leaf rear-ended it going around 15 mph. Apple’s Lexus and the Leaf sustained damage, but neither car’s passengers received any injuries, the report states.

California passes strongest net neutrality law in the country

California’s legislature has approved a bill being called the strongest net neutrality law in the US. The bill would ban internet providers from blocking and throttling legal content and prioritizing some sites and services over others. It would apply these restrictions to both home and mobile connections.

That would essentially restore the net neutrality rules enacted federally under former President Barack Obama, which were later repealed by the Federal Communications Commission under the watch and guidance of current chairman Ajit Pai. But this bill actually goes further than those rules with an outright ban on zero-rating — the practice of offering free data, potentially to the advantage of some companies over others — of specific...

Apple launches repair program for defective iPhone 8 logic boards

The logic board is essentially the main printed circuit board of a computing device, containing the CPU, device memory, and other integral components. Apple says its faulty logic boards may have been causing random restarts, screen freezes, and defective startup initiations that prevent the iPhone 8 from turning on properly.

How to pick the cloud storage service that’s right for you

Storing your most sensitive files locally on a hard drive is still (and probably always will be) the logical thing to do. But it’s not always the most convenient, which is why most of us look to cloud storage as a secondary option. It has its own set of benefits: it’s reasonably affordable, it makes sharing files easier, it’s ubiquitous across most operating systems and devices, and it’s just really nice to have a backup when your hard drive dies.

There are several services to pick from, and some of them are pretty similar. While common at their core offerings (to give you copious amounts of space to store files online), only a few go beyond that by giving users more free storage upfront, useful online productivity tools, and the option...
