The Uber app will lose the “split fare” option in April as the company attempts to build a better system for sharing the cost of a ride. A replacement feature should roll out within the next few months, according to an Uber spokesperson.
Uber riders in the UK received an email this week alerting them of the shutdown, as spotted by Mashable. A spokesperson confirmed to Engadget that the feature is on its way out.
“We are in the process of reworking how riders split fares and the feature will be temporarily removed from the Uber app next month,” they said. “We know this is a popular feature, so rest assured that we are planning to roll out a new, improved version in the coming months.”
This change eliminates the ability to split the cost of a ride within the Uber app itself, but it doesn’t stop you from using Venmo, Cash App or other services to make things equal. The original email to UK Uber customers said the “split fare” feature would be discontinued on March 21st, but it’s definitely sticking around until April, the company clarified.

Run NVIDIA Omniverse From The Cloud
Posted in: Today's Chili
One of the most exciting announcements in today’s NVIDIA GTC keynote was that NVIDIA’s Omniverse would become available as a cloud service, so creators and designers won’t even need an RTX GPU in their computers. That opens the door to new users and new use cases.
This cloud offering is made possible by using the GeForce Now streaming platform known for cloud gaming, but it can also run other types of apps, including Omniverse Create and Omniverse View.
Create is an app in which designers can perform modifications in the scene. At the same time, View is, of course, just a viewer that decision-makers use to participate in the design validation process.
Omniverse Nucleus Cloud frees the organization from installing and maintaining an Omniverse server that hosts the Nucleus Core service component. That’s the software responsible for the data synchronization between all participants.
Omniverse isn’t particularly difficult to install on a local computer, but there are security concerns that might be easier to outsource to a cloud product at the enterprise level.
From a business standpoint, I really like how an agency could “surge” its staff without having to procure expensive computers such as the workstations we’ve recently reviewed like the ASUS ProArt Studiobook 16, the Acer ConceptD 5, or the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Extreme Gen4.
Of course, working on a workstation is always more comfortable. After testing the GeForce Now service in the context of gaming, I can say that streaming these apps can work exceptionally well if you have an excellent Internet connection (that might be a big “if” for some).
Expect these cloud services to become even better in the future as usage models and pricing become well understood. They dramatically lower the barrier of entry and provide an on-demand solution that makes a lot of sense for many studios and designers.
