The Morning After: Weekend Edition

It's Saturday, March 31, 2018. Hey, good morning! You look fabulous. Welcome to the weekend! We have more information about last week’s Model X crash and a status update on Google’s link shortening service. The NTSB is investigating. Tesla: Autopilot was engaged in fatal Model X crash After a fiery crash in Mountain View, CA killed the driver of a Tesla Model X, the company confirmed Friday night that its Autopilot feature was engaged at the time. It noted that the driver’s hands were not detected on the wheel for six seconds prior to the collision. The driver’s brother told an ABC 7 News reporter that his brother had previously complained of Autopilot previously swerving the SUV towards that same divider. And just a step away from some NFL player’s next touchdown celebration. ‘Fortnite’ wants to put your dance in the game Epic Games just launched a contest for players to submit video of their smooth moves, with the best one making it into Fortnite. Expected ship date: February 28th, 2019. Hasbro got 5,000 pre-orders to build a massive replica of Jabba's barge The huge Jabba the Hutt barge replica Hasbro showed off at Toy Fair this year will soon become a real item making its way to backers' homes. That’s because it has raised over $2.7 million in funds from over 5,500 backers (as of this writing) on the company’s HasLab site, eclipsing its original 5,000 pre-order goal. If you’re interested in dropping $500 on the four-foot model then you still can -- orders are open until April 3rd. Old links will still work. Google is shutting down its goo.gl URL shortening service Google is replacing its own service, goo.gl, with Firebase Dynamic Links (FDL) as of April 13th. These new smart URLs let you send folks to any location within iOS, Android or web apps. Block everything out except the music. The best wireless headphones We've already offered some suggestions on the best wireless earbuds, so now it's time to examine the best over-ear wireless headphones. Each was selected for its mix of comfort, sound quality and effective noise cancellation. Because let's be honest: Audio is just one part of the equation when it comes to long listening sessions. Plus it connects to Amazon Alexa and Google Home. Hyundai’s Kona is ready for almost anything The Kona is a great little SUV that hits all the right marks -- except for its lack of adaptive cruise control. But wait, there's more... 1. Canon's 120-megapixel sensor enhances video better than CSI 2. Apple iPad hands-on (2018): It's all about the apps 3. Xiaomi's Mi Gaming Laptop packs NVIDIA GTX 1060 graphics 4. Huawei P20 Pro hands-on: Camera tricks and a supercar finish 5. The Boring Co. will sell giant 'Lego-like' building bricks 6. iOS 11.3 is live now, complete with new battery features The Morning After is a new daily newsletter from Engadget designed to help you fight off FOMO.

Today's Story Highlights

Trump Rails at Amazon Over Taxes, USPS, Local Retail
President Trump fired off a tweet critical of Amazon, implying that the
administration may be mulling some type of regulatory action. Amazon CEO
Jeff Bezos is also the owner of The Washington Post , one of the top
newspapers in the U.S. and a major thorn in the president's side. Trump
recently has been "obsessing" over the company and exploring different
regulatory possibilities, according to reports.

Facebook has introduced a set of changes designed to empower members to
protect their account information. The company has been at the center of
an unrelenting firestorm following revelations that it allowed Cambridge
Analytica to mine private data belonging to 50 million of its users
without permission, which Cambridge Analytica then leveraged for
political purposes.

Editor's Pick: Atlanta Works to Break Ransomware Hold

Atlanta Works to Break Ransomware Hold

Peter Suciu Mar 30, 2018 5:00 AM PT
	Nearly a week after it became the target of one of the largest ransomware attacks to date, the City of Atlanta has made progress toward recovery, but it is still far from business as usual. Hackers encrypted many of the city government's vital data and computer systems. Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms characterized the ransomware attack as "a hostage situation." [More...]

The Morning After: SpaceX satellite internet and 'No Man's Sky' on Xbox

It's Friday, March 30, 2018. Hey, good morning! You look fabulous. It’s Friday, and we’re celebrating the FCC’s approval of SpaceX’s satellite internet plan. Also, we’ve got all the new Apple updates and a new Westworld trailer from HBO. 4,425 Starlink satellites providing 1 Gbps internet around the globe. FCC approves SpaceX plan for satellite-provided internet In a statement, SpaceX president Gwynne Shotwell said: "Although we still have much to do with this complex undertaking, this is an important step toward SpaceX building a next-generation satellite network that can link the globe with reliable and affordable broadband service, especially reaching those who are not yet connected." Seriously, everything. Apple updates everything Yesterday, Apple pushed updates for many of the devices it makes. iOS 11.3 brings a tweak that enables users to turn off its CPU-throttling low-power mode for phones with troubled batteries. iTunes and Apple Music added support for music videos, and on macOS we’re finally ready to plug in external GPUs for VR and hardcore gaming. Including a brief look at Shogunworld. 'Westworld' season two trailer If you're in the middle of rewatching season one and looking for clues, the trailer might give you a few more. Or, it could raise additional questions. Shuffle. Windows chief out as Microsoft reorganizes its business Yesterday, Microsoft announced a reorganization, taking the Windows and Devices group from its previous head Terry Myerson and splitting it in two. Rajesh Jha will oversee software in the Experiences and Devices division, while Surface, Xbox and HoloLens lead Panos Panay takes control of all hardware.  Its author said ‘I didn’t agree with it when I wrote it.’ Leaked Facebook memo: 'Ugly truth' justified any growth tactics Buzzfeed published an internal Facebook memo entitled "The Ugly" from 2016, which shows just how much emphasis the social network places on growth above safety, privacy and everything else. Written by Facebook VP Andrew "Boz" Bosworth, one of Mark Zuckerberg's staunchest allies, the memo tries to defend the social network's "questionable contact-importing practices" and pretty much takes a very "ends justify the means" tone. But wait, there's more... 1. US visa applications may soon require five years of social media info 2. Hands-on with Jaguar's all-electric I-Pace 3. The Genesis Essentia Concept is the automotive future we were promised 4. 'Not Tonight' makes you a bouncer in post-Brexit Britain 5. 'No Man's Sky' comes to Xbox this summer alongside huge update 6. Lindsay Lohan's 'Grand Theft Auto' suit is on the road to nowhere 7. GoPro's $199 Hero action camera is meant for newcomers The Morning After is a new daily newsletter from Engadget designed to help you fight off FOMO.
