Meta’s VR social network Horizon Worlds — the company’s flagship “metaverse” app — is suffering from too many quality issues and even the team building it isn’t using it very much, according to internal memos obtained by The Verge.

In one of the memos to employees dated September 15th, Meta’s VP of Metaverse, Vishal Shah, said the team would remain in a “quality lockdown” for the rest of the year to “ensure that we fix our quality gaps and performance issues before we open up Horizon to more users.”

“Simply put, for an experience to become delightful and retentive, it must first be usable and well crafted.”

“Since launching late last year, we have seen that the core thesis of Horizon Worlds — a synchronous social network where creators can build engaging worlds — is strong,” Shah wrote in a memo last month. “But currently feedback from our creators, users, playtesters, and many of us on the team is that the aggregate weight of papercuts, stability issues, and bugs is making it too hard for our community to experience the magic of Horizon. Simply put, for an experience to become delightful and retentive, it must first be usable and well crafted.”

Though Meta has teased its work on more lifelike avatars, the current quality of Horizon’s graphics pales in comparison to some of its non-VR competitors like Fortnite. Zuckerberg himself was recently memeified after he posted a screenshot of his Horizon avatar to celebrate the launch of Horizon for

Aviation Advocates Ask FCC to Permanently Limit 5G Around Airports

A number of aviation industry groups are petitioning the US Federal Communications Commission to permanently restrict some 5G signals around airports.

Currently, Verizon and AT&T aren’t broadcasting C-band 5G in areas around US airports until July 2023 as part of an agreement with the FCC. The temporary agreement is meant to give airlines time to make sure 5G signals won’t interfere with aircraft equipment — specifically a part called a radar altimeter — during landings in rough weather. But aviation advocacy groups, including the Aerospace Industries Association and Airlines for America, met with the FCC to discuss making some restrictions permanent, as Light Reading reported earlier.

The restrictions, outlined in a formal petition, would shift some responsibility back to telecoms by, for instance, preventing 5G antennas from pointing 90 degrees above the horizon. They’d also make permanent the current ban on some C-band signal emissions (specifically in the 4,200MHz to 4,400MHz frequency range).

The proposed solutions “would appear to not compromise wireless operators’ actual use cases while further assuring aviation safety and providing a workable RF environment against which future radio altimeters can be designed and built,” the petition reads.

When reached for comment, Verizon didn’t address the 5G proposals in the petition.

“We continue to have positive discussions with the [Federal Aviation Administration] and FCC, and progress is being made. We’re encouraged to see the airlines making progress with these issues as well,” read a Verizon statement sent to CNET.

AT&T didn’t immediately respond to a request

| Computer, Computers

Star Wars series Andor hit its halfway point last Wednesdayas episode 6 landed on Disney Plus. Cassian (Diego Luna) continued his journey to becoming the Rebel Alliance hero we meet in Rogue Onehaving looks earned the trust of his new rebel buddies as they gear up for a heist on an Imperial garrison, where they’re gonna steal a huge pile of money.

The seventh episode lands on Disney Plus this Wednesday.

On galactic capital Coruscant, the rebellion against the Empire is being orchestrated by Senator Mon Mothma (Genevieve O’Reilly) and recruiter Luther Rael (Stellan Skarsgard). They’re trying desperately to stay ahead of the Empire’s spies and informants.

Unfortunately for them, Cassian’s past thievery has drawn the attention of magnificently dressed Imperial Security Bureau Supervisor Dedra Meero (Denise Gough), who reckons it points to a wider rebellion. She’s 100% right, but her bureaucratic superiors will take some convincing.

Andor takes place five years prior to Rogue One, which depicted the events immediately before the original Star Wars film A New Hope. Scroll down further if you want to join a heist on all of episode 6’s SPOILERS.

ALDHANI — Much like last week’s, this episode is super focused on the rebel crew as they make their move on the Imperial garrison using a celestial event — a massive, magnificent meteor show known as the Eye of Alhani — as cover. It’s in a dam, which is

Best Laptop for High School Students in 2022

This story is part of Gift Guideour year-round collection of the best gift ideas.

Laptops are becoming more and more essential for students, and it’s not too late to grab a laptop if you need one — we’re still early in the school year. From homework to studying, a laptop is priceless (with a price tag). That’s why we’ve collected our picks for the best laptop for high school students. We’ve covered options across all the major operating systems and brands, including MacOS, Windows and ChromeOS. Sure, many laptops will work just fine for your student, but these recommendations were chosen for dependability, user ease and performance. Every laptop we’ve suggested also has a long battery life, and each easily fits into a standard backpack. And the majority of them are under $1,000, which is increasing rare due to chips shortages, supply chain issues and inflation.

The Apple MacBook Air M1 is our pick for the best laptop for high school students. The HP Pavilion Aero 13 is our best value pick with a starting price of $800 but is regularly on sale for far less. Both laptops offer strong everyday performance and long battery life with compact, lightweight designs that are easy to drop in a backpack.

Regardless of which student laptop you choose, I recommend buying directly from the manufacturer or a familiar, trusted retailer for the best prices and exchange or return policies. If you’re shopping on sites like Amazon or Walmart with third-party
