Carriers selling your location to bounty hunters: It was worse than we thought
Remember last month, when we learned that AT&T, T-Mobile and Sprint had not immediately fulfilled their promises to stop selling the real-time location of your phone to shady third-parties, and a black market had sprung up to meet the demands of even shadier individuals who might like to know where you are?
Well, Motherboard is doubling down on the investigation that revealed these things, and today it’s reporting that the scandal may be larger than we thought. You’ll probably want to take a look at their full story, but the gist is this: until late 2017, a second-hand data broker called LocationSmart sold data to a third-hand data broker known as CerCareOne, which in turn let as many as 250 bounty hunters and bail bondsman find an AT&T,...

LG confirms the G8 ThinQ will have a 3D front camera for face unlock
LG’s next flagship hasn’t been announced yet, but as ever, the company likes to drip-feed nuggets of information about it in the lead-up to the full reveal. Today, we’ve learned that it will indeed be called the G8 ThinQ, and it’ll include a time-of-flight sensor as part of its front-facing camera array. (That likely explains the recent supposed render that showed two cameras in the phone’s display notch.)
ToF sensors work by bouncing infrared light off subjects and can be used for 3D object recognition. This allows for secure face unlock and more accurate background blur in selfie portraits, as well as potentially having various AR applications. The sensor in the G8 ThinQ is Infineon’s REAL3 chip. LG isn’t saying much about how it’ll be...

Google probably won’t pull DWI checkpoints from Waze despite NYPD demand
The New York Police Department has sent a letter to Google demanding that it remove drunk-driving checkpoints from its Waze navigation app, as Streetsblog NYC and CBS New York reported earlier today. In the letter, the NYPD writes that “the posting of such information for public consumption is irresponsible since it only serves to aid impaired and intoxicated drivers to evade checkpoints and encourage reckless driving.”
Reached for comment over email, a Google spokesperson responded in a way that makes it clear the NYPD will need to do a bit more to convince Google to pull the DWI checkpoints:
Safety is a top priority when developing navigation features at Google. We believe that informing drivers about upcoming speed traps allows them...

China is worried an AI arms race could lead to accidental war
Experts and politicians in China are worried that a rush to integrate artificial intelligence into weapons and military equipment could accidentally lead to war between nations.
According to a new report published by US national security think tank Center for a New American Security (CNAS), Chinese officials increasingly see an “arms race” dynamic in AI as a threat to global peace. As countries scramble to reap the benefits of artificial intelligence in various domains, including the military, the fear is that international norms shaping how countries communicate will become outdated, leading to confusion and potential conflict.

Big-name travel apps may secretly record your iPhone screen, including credit card info
A number of popular airline, hotel, and retail apps engage in the practice of recording your iPhone screen without your knowledge or consent, according to an investigation from TechCrunch. The practice, known as session replaying, typically involves hiring a third-party firm, in this case the analytics firm Glassbox, to embed the technology into a mobile app.
From there, Glassbox’s software records every action you take within the app, as well as taking screenshots along the way. Even worse is that, for apps like Air Canada’s and other travel sites, this includes the fields where users input sensitive information like passport numbers, credit card numbers, and other financial and personal information.

Tinder added more than 1 million subscribers last year
Tinder is still unstoppable. Match Group, Tinder’s parent company, announced its fourth quarter earnings today, in which it disclosed that Tinder added 1.2 million subscribers last year alone. That surge led the brand to close the year out with $805 million in revenue.
That’s nearly as much as what the rest of Match’s dating brands, which include Match.com and OkCupid, pull in combined at $872 million. Match says most of Tinder’s revenue growth is thanks to Tinder Gold, which gives members certain limited features like more Super Likes per day, the ability to swipe around the world, and insight into who’s already liked them. Tinder has also made it a goal to focus on a younger demographic of 18 to 22-year-olds through Tinder U, the...

Canon EOS RP leak reveals much lighter, smaller full-frame mirrorless camera
Not long after its release of the EOS R camera, Canon is already nearing the launch of a second full-frame mirrorless camera. The EOS RP has been revealed in a series of images posted on Nokishita today. Unlike rivals Sony, Nikon, and, most recently, Panasonic, which each offer a pair of identical-looking cameras, Canon is giving the EOS RP a unique design that’s significantly smaller and lighter than the R.
The EOS RP reportedly weighs just 1.07 pounds compared to the 1.45-pound R. That’s definitely a difference you’ll feel and appreciate when carrying the camera around. It measures 132.5 x 85.0 x 70.0mm against the R’s 136 x 98 x 84mm, so, again, you can see how much Canon has been able to shave off of the newer camera. This...

After making history, NASA’s tiny deep-space satellites go silent
The first two tiny satellites to ever go interplanetary have fallen silent in deep space for some unknown reason, and it’s likely we may never hear from them again. But for NASA, which launched the probes last year, this loss of communication isn’t considered a failure. Before the pair went quiet, these vehicles demonstrated that tiny satellites could become critical tools for exploring other worlds deep within our Solar System.
The silent satellites are the two MarCO probes — nicknamed EVE and WALL-E from Pixar’s sci-fi movie — which flew to Mars along with NASA’s InSight lander last year. Both MarCOs are modified CubeSats, a type of standardized small satellite about the size of a cereal box used for space research. Before the InSight...

Tesla’s Model 3 pricing inches closer to $35,000 target
Tesla has reduced the price of the Model 3 by $1,100, bringing the starting price of its cheapest model down to $42,900 before incentives. All three versions of the car saw the same price reduction, including rear-wheel drive, all-wheel drive, and performance models.
In a statement posted by Electrek a Tesla spokesperson said that the reduction was primarily due to the ending of the company’s referral program on February 1st, which the company said cost far more than realized. The program was originally intended to boost demand by promoting word-of-mouth marketing, but the long waiting lists for its vehicles suggest this is no longer necessary.
