The Vegas Loop underground tunnels built by Elon Musk s Boring Company that snake underneath Sin City hasn t been the traffic or even technological game changer the company promised it would become It was supposed to be a futuristic autonomous people mover that looked like public transit from the Tron universe Instead Las Vegas just got a bunch of underground tunnels where people are transported by ordinary Tesla vehicles that didn t really solve any of the city s traffic problems Apparently it s not just Tesla vehicles in the tunnels either Fortune nbsp filed a Freedom of Information Act request with the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority on incidents involving the Tesla tunnels going back to The records revealed that the tunnels have seen at least trespassing reports going back to and instances of vehicles following Teslas into the tunnels and stations Boring s monthly reports to the Legas Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority also showed several instances of property damage theft technical issues or injuries near misses and trespassing or intrusions according to Fortune The cars that wandered into the stations appear to mostly be just accidents in which drivers followed the Teslas into the unauthorized areas The trespassing incidents are a bit more egregious and Fortune described them as a headache for the Boring Company Some of the more notable instances include a skateboarder who snuck into the tunnels through a passenger pickup station two people who were spotted sleeping in one of the tunnel stations and a man who tried to remove a license plate reader at a station In each case Boring security escorted the trespassing out of the tunnels and stations but there are no records showing they were reported to the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Even the construction of the tunnels had more than a few sketchy moments but not nearly as amusing Former Boring Company construction crew members spoke with Fortune back in February including one who said We have consistently flirted with death During a six month period last year Boring reported injuries to Occupational Safety and Health Administration OSHA officials including heat exhaustion contusions and crushed hands and elbows One tip sent to OSHA s Nevada field office reported that to employees were burned with accelerant chemicals while working in the tunnels Somehow none of these incidents have stopped the city and Clark County s desperate hope for the transit system that the Boring Company promised but never delivered County commissioners approved a plan last May to expand the underground Tesla vehicle tunnels to miles and add passenger stations This article originally appeared on Engadget at |

EU residents will have a new way to dispute content moderation decisions by Facebook, YouTube and TikTok |

European Union residents will have a new place to turn to settle disputes with Facebook TikTok and YouTube A new Appeals Centre certified by Irish regulators will soon begin accepting complaints about content moderation decisions The concept is similar to Meta s Oversight Board which weighs in on content moderation decisions across Facebook Instagram and Threads Meta has long suggested that other social media companies should use its Oversight Board though there s been little incentive for them to do so Europe s Digital Services Act DSA changed that calculation somewhat as it enabled the creation of Out of Court Dispute Settlement ODS bodies that have the ability to help resolve user complaints And while the Appeals Centre is a separate entity there are some notable links between the two organizations The new Appeals Centre will be led by Thomas Hughes who was previously the CEO of the Oversight Board Administration The Oversight Board Trust which oversees the board s budget also helped fund the new Appeals Centre with a one time grant according to a statement from its chair of trustees Stephen Neal And the first non executive trustees of the Appeals Centre are also trustees on the Oversight Board The Appeals Centre says it expects to be up and running in late at which time individuals and organizations will be able to request appeals through its website Users wishing to appeal a moderation decision from Facebook YouTube or TikTok will be required to pay a nominal fee that will be refunded if the group rules in their favor according to information posted on its website However it s not clear exactly how this process will work or how many cases the group will be able to take on Meta s Oversight Board which has been up and running for years received nearly appeals and issued just decisions in The Appeals Centre may also end up being less influential than the Oversight Board A press release from Ireland s media regulator notes that the decisions of ODS bodies are not binding Still it could increase the visibility of the kinds of content moderation issues that often frustrate users and give some hope that their situation may be reconsidered This article originally appeared on Engadget at |

The latest Amazon Prime Day sale began on Tuesday and it s brought a handful of decent discounts on gaming gear along with it If you can t hold out until Black Friday we ve sorted through the savings and picked out the deals that are actually worth your attention below Among the highlights are a discount on the PlayStation and lower than usual prices on various mice headsets keyboards and controllers we recommend Just remember that the Prime Big Deal Days sale as it s officially called runs through October and keeps some deals exclusive to Prime members Best Prime Day gaming dealsThe Astro A TR gaming headset Photo by Jeff Dunn EngadgetPlayStation slim for off MSRP While this isn t the best PS deal we ve ever seen steeper discounts for Sony s console have been infrequent so this isn t the worst time to hop aboard If nothing else it s a better value for most than the PS Pro PlayStation Digital Edition slim for off If you re percent sure you ll only buy games digitally the version of the PS without a disc drive is also on sale for less Annoyingly this was the standard going rate for the original PS Digital Edition but Sony hiked the console s MSRP by when it introduced these slim models last year Xbox Series X TB Best Buy gift card for off This is neither an Amazon deal nor an all time low but those who d prefer an Xbox can also take off a new console at Best Buy The retailer will throw in a digital gift card with your purchase nbsp Astro A TR gaming headset for off It s several years old but the open back Astro A TR remains a top wired gaming headset thanks to its spacious sound and comfy design The built in microphone is pretty mediocre however This deal checks in below the usual discount price we ve seen over the course of this year Corsair Virtuoso Pro gaming headset for off The Virtuoso Pro is another wired open back pair we recommend in our gaming headset guide It s not quite as good of a value as the Astro A TR but it has a clearer mic and we found its sound profile to work better with some but not all games This deal matches the lowest price we ve tracked Sennheiser HD S headphones for off If you don t need a built in mic the HD S is a quality pair of open back headphones with the kind of wide detailed sound that can help you feel immersed in most games It s another pick from our gaming headset guide This discount matches the lowest price we ve seen in well over a year The BitDo Ultimate Bluetooth Controller Photo by Jeff Dunn EngadgetRazer Basilisk V wired gaming mouse for off We recommend the Basilisk V in our guide to the best gaming mice for those who prefer a more ergonomic right handed shape and don t mind connecting over a cable This deal matches the device s all time low It s worth noting that Razer announced an updated version of this mouse with an improved sensor just last week ーwe plan to test that model soon but the upgrades appear to be fairly minor in practice Razer DeathAdder V Pro wireless gaming mouse for off If you d rather go wireless the DeathAdder V Pro is another favorite from our gaming mouse guide blending a superlight gently contoured shape with top shelf performance This is only a drop from the mouse s recent street price but it still represents an all time low Corsair Scimitar Elite Wireless MMO gaming mouse for off The Scimitar Elite is the wireless version of the top MMO pick in our buying guide It offers customizable side buttons that make it easier to pull of complex commands in MOBAs or MMOs like Final Fantasy XIV This is the second largest discount we ve seen BitDo Ultimate Bluetooth Controller for off While not an all time low this discount takes off the usual street price for BitDo s wireless Switch PC gamepad which we ve raved about before It s a bit on the smaller side but it s comfortable with durable Hall effect joysticks that should avoid the drift sensation that s plagued Nintendo s Joy Cons If you don t need Bluetooth support another model that only connects over a USB dongle is on sale for less That variant also uses Xbox style face buttons instead of Switch ones Backbone One USB C nd gen for off The Backbone One is an easy to use mobile game controller that we ve recommended before This percent discount ties the lowest price we ve seen for the second gen model A PlayStation branded model ーwhich supports Sony s official Remote Play app on Android and iOS instead of just the latter ーis available for the same price as are the versions that connect over Lightning The ASUS ROG Strix Scope II Wireless gaming keyboard Photo by Jeff Dunn EngadgetASUS ROG Strix Scope II Wireless gaming keyboard for off This honorable mention from our guide to the best gaming keyboards offers a stellar typing experience with a sturdy case layers of sound dampening foam and crisp PBT keycaps The stock switches in this configuration are great but they re also hot swappable if you ever want to change things up This deal is only about off the keyboard s usual going rate but it s still the second best price we ve tracked BitDo Retro Mechanical Keyboard Fami Edition for off This wireless keyboard should appeal to anyone looking for a vintage tech aesthetic as its keycaps and color accents are inspired by Nintendo s old Famicom console It feels great for typing too though the default switches are somewhat noisy so you may not want to use it in an office setting This discount isn t an all time low but we normally see the device retail between and Keychron C Pro mechanical keyboard for off If you just want to pay as little as possible for a mechanical keyboard that still feels great we recommend the C Pro This iteration uses cheaper ABS keycaps and lacks hot swappable switches but it feels and sounds remarkably pleasant for something so cheap This deal marks another all time low A hot swappable version is also on sale for more WD Black C Xbox Expansion Card TB for off It s a pain in the neck but the only way to fully expand the storage of an Xbox Series X S is to use a proprietary expansion card such as the C This deal isn t an all time low but it s to cheaper than the typical street prices we ve seen over the last several months Seagate s Xbox cards are technically on sale as well but those discounts aren t anything significant Seagate Xbox Storage Expansion Card TB for off If you want to add TB to your Xbox meanwhile this is the best price to date for Seagate s expansion card There s little performance difference between this and the C so which one is best simply comes down to how much space you need Alienware M R gaming laptop for off The M R is the latest version of the top inch pick in our guide to the best gaming laptops It s an absolute hoss of a notebook but it s built well and this model with an RTX GPU GB of RAM and a Core i HX chip is powerful enough to play modern games in p or p at high ish settings While not cheap this matches the config s best price to date The WD Black C Storage Expansion Card for Xbox consoles WDPrince of Persia The Lost Crown for off Its story isn t much and it doesn t veer too far outside the usual Metroidvania lines but The Lost Crown should be a safe bet for most people looking for a tight playing action platformer This discount marks a new low for the PlayStation and Nintendo Switch versions of the game Assassin s Creed Mirage for off Mirage is a something of a throwback to older Assassin s Creed games one that s smaller in scope than the more recent open world entries We called it a warm bloody hug from an old friend in our review ーin video game land that s a good thing These days we usually see the game retail around Metal Gear Solid Master Collection Vol nbsp for off This collection includes lightly remastered versions of the first three Metal Gear Solid games which remain more subversive and self assured than most games that have hit in the decades since A few of the series classic bit entries are here too and Konami has done well to rectify most of the set s technical issues since launch We ve seen this price before but it ties an all time low Madden NFL nbsp for off Madden is in pretty dire need of a creative reset but at the end of the day it s Madden and it works fine enough if you just want to scratch the pro football game itch This is the second best price we ve seen for the latest entry EA Sports College Football nbsp for off If you re more of a college sports fan EA brought back the series formerly known as NCAA Football back from an year hiatus this past summer and it generally received higher marks than its pro counterpart This discount is the largest we ve seen since launch WWE K nbsp for off If you prefer powerbombs and Hell in a Cell matches to touchdowns and bowl games the latest WWE K game is also down to the best price we ve seen for a console copy that is It s a K game so there ll be some bugs but it received solid reviews at launch ーsomething we cannot say for Cody Rhodes neck tattoo Keep in mind that this game is available for free with a PlayStation Plus subscription during October so there s no need to buy if you plan on keeping that service for a while Follow EngadgetDeals on

The October Prime Day sale at Amazon kicked off with some excellent deals on TVs and there s one in particular we wanted to call out The Frame Prime Day deals have brought Samsung s set down to a new record low for the inch model with an included set of bezels The bundle is currently after a huge price cut If you ve been thinking about a TV that looks more like art when you re not watching ーinstead of a black mirror ーthis might be the time to dive in Other sizes are on sale as well For the uninitiated The Frame TV is one part television and one part artistic canvas When it s not being used to binge shows and movies it can display art prints This is the perfect box for those who want to watch TV once in a while but don t want a giant contraption taking up the entire living room Most visitors won t even know it s a TV unless it s pointed out We ve long sung the praises of Samsung s The Frame TV It boasts picture frame edges and an ultra thin bezel to help with the illusion The TV also mounts flat against the wall so it can be placed just about anywhere There isn t even a large and ornery power cable The TV connects via a thin wire that leads to an external receiver port hub which in turn goes to the power outlet This wire is small enough to easily hide behind a plant or something but it can also be dropped behind drywall and popped back out somewhere else As for TV specs this is a K QLED panel with a Hz refresh rate in TV mode This refresh rate drops to Hz when in canvas mode because well there s not that much to refresh The matte display also limits light reflection enhancing screen visibility in both TV and canvas mode There are two caveats here This sale is only for the inch model so the larger TVs will still break the bank Also the deal applies to just the version with the white bezel which may not perfectly suit the aesthetics of every consumer Follow EngadgetDeals on Twitter for the latest tech deals and buying advice and stay tuned to Engadget com for all of the best tech deals coming out of October Prime Day This article originally appeared on Engadget at |

Viewers don't trust candidates who use generative AI in political ads, study finds |
https://www.engadget.com/ai/viewers-dont-trust-candidates-who-use-generative-ai-in-political-ads-study-finds-194532117.html?src=rss

Artificial intelligence is expected to have an impact on the upcoming US election in November States have been trying to protect against misinformation by passing laws that require political advertisements to disclose when they have used generative AI Twenty states now have rules on the books and according to new research voters have a negative reaction to seeing those disclaimers That seems like a pretty fair response If a politician uses generative AI to mislead voters then voters don t appreciate that The study was conducted by New York University s Center on Technology Policy and first reported by The Washington Post The investigation had a thousand participants watch political ads from fictional candidates Some of the ads were accompanied by a disclaimer that AI was used in the creation of the spot while others had no disclaimer The presence of a disclaimer was linked to viewers rating the promoted candidate as less trustworthy and less appealing Respondents also said they would be more likely to flag or report the ads on social media when they contained disclaimers In attack ads participants were more likely to express negative opinions about the candidate who sponsored the spot rather than the candidate being attacked The researchers also found that the presence of an AI disclaimer led to worse or unchanged opinions regardless of the fictional candidate s political party The researchers tested two different disclaimers inspired by two different state requirements for AI disclosure in political ads The text tied to Michigan s law reads This video has been manipulated by technical means and depicts speech or conduct that did not occur The other disclaimer is based on Florida s law and says This video was created in whole or in part with the use of generative artificial intelligence Although the approach of Michigan s requirements is more common among state laws study participants said they preferred seeing the broader disclaimer for any type of AI use While these disclaimers can play a part in transparency about the presence of AI in an ad they aren t a perfect failsafe As many as percent of the respondents said they didn t recall seeing any language about AI after viewing the ads This article originally appeared on Engadget at |

Pour one out for the Surface Duo As Windows Central points out Microsoft has pushed out what will almost certainly go down as the device s final software update a security patch ahead of its October end of support date When Microsoft debuted the Surface Duo in October the company pledged to provide three years of software updates for the dual screen device Since then the company has released just one platform update for the Duo upgrading it from Android to Android L By comparison Surface Duo users were more fortunate They got to see their devices make the jump from Android to Android and then later to Android L I ll note here that the latest version of Google s mobile operating system is Android By modern standards the Duo s run is particularly bad Some Android manufacturers including Google and Samsung now promise to provide up to seven generations of platform updates Consider also that Microsoft priced the Surface Duo at on release Most of all it s a shame since software was always the Achilles heel of the Duo line As Engadget Deputy Editor Cherlynn Low noted in her review of the device back in the device offered more compelling hardware but was still plagued by an inconsistent user experience Of course none of this is surprising if you ve been following Microsoft in recent months As the company has shifted its attention to AI its Surface portfolio has seemingly fallen to the wayside In fact according to a report Business Insider published last year part of the reason Panos Panay left Microsoft was because the company had canceled some of his unit s more ambitious projects This article originally appeared on Engadget at |

More than a dozen states sue TikTok, alleging that it’s designed to addict kids |
https://www.engadget.com/big-tech/more-than-a-dozen-states-sue-tiktok-alleging-that-its-designed-to-addict-kids-151242893.html?src=rss

Fourteen states have just filed lawsuits against TikTok that claim the social media platform damages the mental health of young users and collects their data without consent Each lawsuit was filed individually The suits which are led by the attorneys general of New York and California say the platform violated the law by falsely claiming its platform is safe for young people The lawsuits spotlight what the plaintiffs call addictive features These include the kinds of things present with many modern social media apps like notifications and autoplay videos However the lawsuit also focuses on dangerous TikTok challenges There have been plenty of these from challenges that task people with taking an excessive amount of Benadryl to messing with an electrical outlet Young people are struggling with their mental health because of addictive social media platforms like TikTok New York Attorney General Letitia James said in a statement TikTok claims that their platform is safe for young people but that is far from true It s worth noting that the aforementioned challenges were issued by other TikTok users and not by the platform itself However the suits do attempt to illustrate TikTok s underlying business model which is accused of maximizing young users times on the platform so the company can boost revenue from selling targeted ads The various lawsuits even suggest that TikTok allows for the sexual exploitation of its younger users via a proprietary currency and a live streaming component The TikTok Live platform is technically only for adults but one of the suits alleges quot lax age verification measures incentivize US minors to lie about their age to gain access quot Once live users can receive currency from viewers The suit suggests that this practice enables other serious harms to minors including sexual exploitation quot and that quot TikTok is fully aware that these features combine to create an environment where children are often sexually exploited by users but has chosen to turn a blind eye in favor of increasing its profitability quot nbsp The suits also accuse TikTok and parent company ByteDance of collecting the data of young users without consent This is not a new complaint as the Department of Justice filed a suit back in August that charged TikTok of collecting the personal information of children on the platform and failing to comply with requests for that data to be deleted Texas also recently sued the platform for violating child privacy laws Today s suits seek to impose financial penalties on the platform including the disgorgement of all profits resulting from the fraudulent and illegal practices and to collect damages for users that have been harmed Our statement on today s Attorneys General lawsuits quot We strongly disagree with these claims many of which we believe to be inaccurate and misleading We re proud of and remain deeply committed to the work we ve done to protect teens and we will continue to update and improve ーTikTok Policy TikTokPolicy October TikTok has responded to the suits saying quot we strongly disagree with these claims quot The platform went on to call the claims quot inaccurate and misleading quot It listed all of the various quot robust safeguards quot it has put in place to protect kids including quot default screentime limits family pairing and privacy by default for minors under quot nbsp This is all happening as parent company ByteDance faces a decision to either sell TikTok to a non Chinese buyer or experience a nationwide ban The current deadline for this decision is January but the company s lawyers recently argued that the terms of this law were unconstitutional The Electronic Frontier Foundation provided Engadget with the following statement from the organization s free speech and transparency litigation director Aaron Mackey We re still reviewing the complaints filed by the attorneys general but at first blush we re troubled Social media algorithms aren t inherently evil they can sift through vast amounts of data to present users with content they ll find relevant entertaining and educational The states claims regarding features like autoplay and endless scrolling are really just a smokescreen for their distaste for First Amendment protected content We doubt the attorneys general would sue if TikTok presented an endless scroll of high school math problems or excerpts from classic literature Parents and minors not states should decide when and how young people use TikTok Finally the complaint s troubling allegations about TikTok processing user data without appropriate consent shows once again the need for strong privacy first legislation to protect all users Update October PM ET Added the EFF s statement This article originally appeared on Engadget at |

The Vegas Loop underground tunnels built by Elon Musk s Boring Company that snake underneath Sin City hasn t been the traffic or even technological game changer the company promised it would become It was supposed to be a futuristic autonomous people mover that looked like public transit from the Tron universe Instead Las Vegas just got a bunch of underground tunnels where people are transported by ordinary Tesla vehicles that didn t really solve any of the city s traffic problems Apparently it s not just Tesla vehicles in the tunnels either Fortune nbsp filed a Freedom of Information Act request with the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority on incidents involving the Tesla tunnels going back to The records revealed that the tunnels have seen at least trespassing reports going back to and instances of vehicles following Teslas into the tunnels and stations Boring s monthly reports to the Legas Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority also showed several instances of property damage theft technical issues or injuries near misses and trespassing or intrusions according to Fortune The cars that wandered into the stations appear to mostly be just accidents in which drivers followed the Teslas into the unauthorized areas The trespassing incidents are a bit more egregious and Fortune described them as a headache for the Boring Company Some of the more notable instances include a skateboarder who snuck into the tunnels through a passenger pickup station two people who were spotted sleeping in one of the tunnel stations and a man who tried to remove a license plate reader at a station In each case Boring security escorted the trespassing out of the tunnels and stations but there are no records showing they were reported to the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Even the construction of the tunnels had more than a few sketchy moments but not nearly as amusing Former Boring Company construction crew members spoke with Fortune back in February including one who said We have consistently flirted with death During a six month period last year Boring reported injuries to Occupational Safety and Health Administration OSHA officials including heat exhaustion contusions and crushed hands and elbows One tip sent to OSHA s Nevada field office reported that to employees were burned with accelerant chemicals while working in the tunnels Somehow none of these incidents have stopped the city and Clark County s desperate hope for the transit system that the Boring Company promised but never delivered County commissioners approved a plan last May to expand the underground Tesla vehicle tunnels to miles and add passenger stations This article originally appeared on Engadget at |
