Today's Story Highlights

LogicHub CPO Monica Jain: Focus on Results

"I was always interested in analyzing the data," said LogicHub Chief
Product Officer Monica Jain. "I was introduced to a company that was a
pioneer in the market, and that's where my career in security started. I
fell in love with security because it's all about finding and analyzing
the data, and about crunching the data. That's how I started with
security. I've never left it since then."

Zuckerberg Pays Virtual Visit to Hurricane-Ravaged Puerto Rico

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg on Monday used virtual reality tech to
"teleport" to hurricane-ravaged Puerto Rico and soon was dubbed a
"heartless billionaire" by critics who felt he had exploited the dire
situation in the U.S. territory. That likely isn't what Zuckerberg
intended when he provided the Facebook Spaces video demonstration.

Google Pixel 2: 8/10ths of an Apple-Killer Strategy

What would it take to cause Apple to fail? While Steve Jobs was alive,
the prevalent belief was that it would take his removal from the
company. That has happened, but Apple's valuation and reserves are
higher. Although the foundational element was removed, no one really
went after Apple hard until last week, when Google launched a
comprehensive strategy that clearly targeted the company.

Report: Russian Hackers Penetrated Elite NSA Hacking Division

Russian hackers reportedly exploited a vulnerability in Kaspersky Lab's
software to steal sensitive cyberdefense data from a National Security
Agency contractor. The incident, which occurred in 2015, involved a
contractor who loaded classified information onto his personal computer
in order to work at home. The information included hacking tools and
other sensitive NSA data.

The Morning After: Return of the Tamagotchi

Engadget Email Newsletter

It's Wednesday, October 11, 2017.

Hey, good morning!

NVIDIA, a company best-known for its graphics cards is making computers for self-driving cars, the company behind Overwatch has something new in the works and the Tamagotchi is back -- for some reason.

Oops?

Google Home Mini bug could make it record audio 24/7

Voice-controlled appliances need to listen in so they can pick up their hotword, but Android Police received a test Google Home Mini that went a little too far. Apparently, it was recording and uploading nearly every sound it picked up, due to an issue that Google says could’ve affected some other devices, too. As a result, the company pushed a software update to temporarily disable activating the mic via its touch panel, eliminating the issue. Units won’t ship to customers until the 19th; we’ll see if there’s a full workaround in place by then.

The chipmaker prepares automakers for the world of robo-taxis.

NVIDIA introduces a computer for level five autonomous cars

At the center of many of the semi-autonomous cars is NVIDIA processing power. Once automakers realized that GPUs could power their latest features, the chipmaker, best known for PC graphics cards, became the darling of the car world. NVIDIA’s first AI computer, the NVIDIA Drive PX Pegasus, is apparently capable of level five autonomy -- far beyond the level two and three vehicles we’re only just starting to see. That means no pedals, no steering wheel, no need for anyone to ever take control.

You can use the dials and sliders with a lot of different apps.

Palette’s Lego-like controls can make you a faster video editor

Until robots take over video editing, you’ll still have to fiddle with cuts, colors and sound levels. A keyboard is not always the best tool for that, and many control surfaces are strictly targeted at Lightroom users. So what’s a video editor to do? One of the more interesting controllers on the market is Palette Gear -- it’s expandable, flexible, programmable and looks cool. As Associate Editor Steve Dent discovered, if you’re willing to spend some time learning and programming, it can make you a faster and better editor, too.

Don’t get attached.

The 20th-anniversary Tamagotchi is smaller but still easy to kill

It’s been 20 years since the iconic virtual pet Tamagotchi hit US shores. Many of the first pet ownersthose youngsters now have offspring of their own, and Bandai is hoping to entice both generations by reintroducing the classic 1997 model with a special anniversary edition. But most adults and many children now carry a phone capable of doing so much more than the little plastic egg could. Why would they, or anyone, invest in a Tamagotchi?

I’ve reached the acceptance stage of grief.

After 10 years, I've finally accepted that 'Half-Life' is dead

How Deputy Managing Editor Nathan Ingraham learned to stop complaining and get over Gordon Freeman.

It claimed the acquisition cost just $9 billion. Bargain.

Dow Jones reported a fake story about Google buying Apple

Fake news.

Now is it time to buy one?

Amazon drops Echo Show price

Thinking about picking up one of Amazon’s smart speakers? While the new Echos have yet to arrive, its first screen-equipped device just got a price cut. The Echo Show doesn’t have access to YouTube anymore, but it does cost $200 -- $30 off the original ask. Amazon says it’s a “temporary” price drop, but with new hardware and more competition on the way, we could see this sticking around.

But wait, there's more...

1. Porsche's $2,000 Passport subscription swaps cars on demand

2. Blizzard is recruiting for an entirely new 'Overwatch' project

3. Amazon reportedly wants one-time access to your home for deliveries

4. Samsung's new robot vacuums banish Darth Vader to cleaning duty

5. Dubai airport will scan your face as you walk through a video tunnel
