| Facebook begins a big test of its dating service, we review GoPro's Hero7 Black and Amazon's holding a surprise hardware event. Here's your Daily Crunch for September 20, 2018. 1. Inside Facebook Dating, launching today first in Colombia Facebook is launching a country-wide test of its dating service. It's centered around an algorithm-powered homescreen of suggested romantic matches, which are supposedly based on everything Facebook knows about you that other apps don't. There's no swiping, but Facebook Dating looks familiar and non-threatening enough that it may feel more accessible to Facebook users. 
2. Review: With the Hero7 Black, GoPro looks towards stability The Hero7 Black has moved mostly laterally on hardware specs while throwing its focus into software tech like digital video stabilization. The moves seem designed to reduce R&D costs while widening the gap between the low and high-end on the company's new product line. 3. Amazon's announcing new Echo and Fire TV hardware today What we do know for sure is that today's event will be focused on Alexa, the Echo line and Fire TV. 4. Equifax slapped with UK's maximum penalty over 2017 data breach That said, the fine is only £500,000 because the loss of customer data occurred when the UK's prior privacy regime was in force — rather than the tough new data protection law, brought in via the EU's GDPR. 5. Facing sexual assault charges, 3D-printed gun advocate Cody Wilson evades US authorities The gun rights activist who waged a very public legal war over the right to freely distribute 3D-printed gun schematics over the internet is facing serious charges that have nothing to do with firearms. 6. Spotify will now let indie artists upload their own music The upload feature is today launching into beta on Spotify for Artists, the online dashboard that arrived publicly last year. Through the new upload tool, artists will now be able to add their own tracks to the streaming service in just a few clicks. 7. 18 new details about Elon Musk's redesigned, moon-bound 'Big F*ing Rocket' For one thing, the BFR is "ridiculously big." |
