The Morning After: The fight for net neutrality

Engadget Email Newsletter

It's Thursday, July 13, 2017.

Hey, good morning! You look fabulous.

The internet took a stand on net neutrality and Microsoft’s default font settings have the spotlight in Pakistan’s political drama. It must be Thursday.

Thousands of sites stood up against the FCC’s plan to gut net neutrality.

The internet rallies around the fight for net neutrality

Yesterday was the net neutrality Day of Action, and with the first deadline for comments on the FCC proposal up in five days, plenty of sites are making it easy today to voice an opinion. Some websites, including Netflix, Twitch, Spotify and PornHub, have added banners to their pages. Mozilla, Vimeo and Airbnb have added more-substantial additions to the top of their pages while websites like Twitter and Google have opted for blog posts. In short, lots of reminders to speak your mind here.

A political scandal that’s not in the US for once

Microsoft's Calibri font is at the center of a political scandal

Meet #FontGate. And yes, it deserves the name. In Pakistan, financial documents submitted by the prime minister’s daughter are under scrutiny because of the Panama Papers leak and due to the font used -- Calibri. The documents were supposedly submitted in 2006, but use a Microsoft font that wasn’t available by default until 2007. It’s a big deal.

A sled hit 70 MPH at Devloop in Nevada this past May.

Hyperloop One claims its first successful test run

The potential is an easy sell, but until now, we haven't seen Hyperloop One's proposed mag-lev transit system in action. The company has now announced that on May 12th, it completed its first full-scale test. The sled hit 70 MPH, in a vacuum, at the company's Nevada testing facility. Eventual target speed? 250 MPH.

It got a nose job.

See how Tesla’s Model 3 has changed since its debut

We’ll let the gif do most of the talking.

Now we just need the TVs.

MIT solves a major problem holding up glasses-free 3D TVs

One of the reasons you don’t have at-home 3D without glasses is a lack of content that would be compatible with such a display. MIT’s Home3D system makes it easy to convert traditional stereoscopic 3D movies to formats ready for ‘automultiscopic’ displays without glasses.

Third time’s the charm?

LG teases a V30 reveal for IFA 2017

A teaser image promising an August 31st unveiling likely means we’ll see the third iteration of LG’s V-series phone at IFA next month. Unsurprisingly, the image suggests we’ll see another version of its extra-tall FullVision screen. The bad news, unfortunately, is that it could be the end of the line for the V’s secondary display feature (and removable battery).

New 'dog, new tricks.

AirDog's ADII 'follow me' drone doubles down on action sports

It seemed every other new drone a few years ago was quick to publicize its ‘follow me’ features, but only a few of the companies behind these bots remain. The small AirDog team survived, and now it’s back with the ADII, which follows its pilot even better than before -- and with a slightly more subtle color scheme.

But wait, there's more...

1. Sports and tech pros own the first seven Overwatch League teams

2. Louis Vuitton's $2,490 smartwatch is an extravagant take on Android Wear

3. High-tech solutions top the list in the fight against eye disease

4. Audi's AI future tackles autonomous driving one solution at a time

Today's Story Highlights

Microsoft Strengthens Partner Bonds

Microsoft has announced several new offerings aimed at strengthening its
position in the cloud marketplace, including Microsoft 365 Enterprise
and 365 Business, at its Inspire partner conference in Washington, D.C.
Microsoft 365 Enterprise is designed to empower employees of large
organizations to be creative and work together securely. Microsoft 365
Business targets SMBs with up to 300 employees.
http://www.ecommercetimes.com/story/84664.html

Petya's Ransomware Cloaking Device

Recent ransomware threats have escalated into a global crisis, and
cybersecurity experts and government authorities have redoubled their
investigative efforts. Of grave concern is the possibility that the
recent Petya attack had more sinister motives than typical ransomware
operations, and that state actors were involved behind the scenes. The
Petya attack actually used ransomware as a cover.

Trailhead Matrix

Salesforce had a strong showing at its TrailheaDX developer conference,
roughly quadrupling last year's attendance and flooding its developers
with new technology. Over the last few years, the company has built out
a multidimensional matrix of product offerings that include CRM
components like SFA and customer service, but it has been careful to
introduce back-end technology products as well.

Today's Story Highlights

Gadget Ogling: Show and Tell, Fidget Folly, and Connected Nightlights

The Echo Show is the first in Amazon's line of smart speakers to
incorporate a screen, and it seems very much more "speaker with a
display" than "tablet with better audio and microphones." It has all the
functionality of Echo, including access to Alexa, Amazon's voice-
operated assistant. The screen can, for example, provide a more detailed
weather outlook than what Alexa spouts out.

Microsoft Aims to Boost Internet Connectivity in US Heartland

Microsoft has unveiled an ambitious five-year plan that would use
technology found in the television white space spectrum to develop
affordable broadband Internet access for at least 2 million consumers
for $8 billion to $12 billion. The aim is to bridge the technology gap
between urban and rural American communities. The spectrum is a
currently unused portion in the 600 Mhz frequency range.

If you've ever been curious enough to look through your system's root
directory, you may have become a little overwhelmed. Most of the three-
letter directory names don't tell you much about what they do, and if
you ever needed to make important modifications, it would be tough to
know where to look. I'd like to take those of you who haven't ventured
much into your root directory on a brief tour.
