EU charges Apple with breaking antitrust laws and robbing you of cheaper music

Apple is in the EU’s crosshairs once again. The European Commission has charged the iPhone maker with breaking antitrust laws by imposing unfair rules on distributing apps via the App Store. The EU’s executive arm accused Apple of abusing its market power in two ways: forcing developers to use Apple’s own in-app payment system — which gives the tech giant a 30% cut — and banning them from informing customers...

The underdog ebikes you should love: Ugly no-frills town bikes

Ebikes are blowing up, and it’s bloomin’ glorious to watch. No, I don’t mean exploding, but people are buying them at the fastest ever rate. But I’m worried some of us are missing out, because we’re not appreciating the ugly ones. Over the past year, electrified bicycles have come of age. It’s part of what the BBC calls, “The great bicycle boom of 2020.” Pandemic lockdowns around the world opened... Read more

EV owners looking at extra costs as UK moves to plug road tax gap

The UK‘s shift to EVs will come with a heavy price, an expected  £40 billion ($56bn) loss in the Treasury’s funds. On Wednesday, Greener Transport Solutions, a non-profit group that provides recommendations to central and local government, submitted to MPs a report, aimed at tackling this problem. Specifically, the report proposed a mandatory per-mile road pricing scheme by 2030, to coincide with the sales ban on internal combustion vehicles. The... Read more

Why Australia’s trucks might go electric sooner than cars

Australia’s trucking industry is making moves to go electric. The latest development — a system for using swappable batteries instead of time-consuming recharge stations for long-haul trucks between Sydney and Brisbane — shows how this transition is gathering momentum. There will be clear socio-economic, environmental and health-related benefits from the switch to electric trucks — for the broader community as well as for the trucking industry and truckies themselves. As... Read more

This website helps people in India between aged 18-45 find vaccination slots

India opened up its vaccine registration program for hundreds of millions of people aged 18-45 on April 28. However, most people in this age bracket could not find any slots for their vaccinations on the official CoWin website, as most states and private hospitals haven’t obtained the required doses. To easily search for vaccination slots, Programmer Berty Thomas came up with a simple but effective website called under45.in. The site... Read more

How to manage your energy to manage your work

I need three hours of focused time per day to complete — and feel proud of — my week’s work. It’s just how my brain works. As a coach and facilitator, I’ve become convinced that everyone, regardless of their role, needs uninterrupted work time every day. Engineers need to write code without errors. People managers need to synthesize a day of one-on-one calls. Support and sales roles need to manage... Read more

Spotify finally makes it easy to find your downloaded music in the app

Just a few days after Spotify launched in India back in 2019, I hopped on a flight with a bunch of songs downloaded in the app for my journey. But the moment I turned on airplane mode, there was no sign of my downloaded tracks. The horror! It’s currently hard to find your downloads in the Spotify app, even if you switch to the offline mode by going to Settings... Read more

YouTube is testing SoundCloud-like timestamped comments

I tend to try to avoid the comments section on YouTube as much as possible, but it turns out the company is testing a way to make them even more prominent. As spotted by Android Police, the video platform is testing a way to allow users to post comments linked to a specific time. It sounds a lot like SoundCloud‘s comments, based on the information on this support page: We’re... Read more

Instagram now has audio-only livestreams, because Clubhouse (probably)

Oh hey, Facebook is taking a page out of Clubhouse’s book. Again. Times two. Instagram has added the ability to run audio-only broadcasts on Instagram Live. It doesn’t quite turn Instagram into Clubhouse, but it’s hard not to look at the update through the lens of the meteoric rise of audio-centric platforms like Clubhouse and Twitter’s Spaces. Who’d have thought that glorified conference calls would be the next big thing?... Read more

Windows 10 is getting Bluetooth AAC support for better sound quality

Windows 10 is getting a big sound quality boost for a whole bunch of Bluetooth headphones out there — including Apple’s AirPods. The company today announced support for the AAC Bluetooth codec is coming to Windows 10, starting with Windows Insiders. While Windows 10 already supports another high-quality codec, AptX, many audio devices don’t. Notably, Apple headphones — including Beats — use AAC exclusively as their high-quality option.

Xbox Cloud Gaming Beta hands-on: The revolution is (almost) here

“Consumers looking for an on-demand service won’t find it with Game Pass.” That’s how I ended this 2017 article titled “Xbox Game Pass isn’t the Netflix of Anything.” I’m happy to say that now, in 2021, it finally is. That’s right. It’s three years later and Xbox Game Pass is the Netflix of Gaming. And it’s all thanks to Microsoft’s excellent “Xbox Cloud Gaming” service, which recently entered beta. I’ve...

Just putting it out there: There’s no such thing as too much DLC

Downloadable content has somehow managed to become a polarizing issue in the gaming community. Debates rage about when it’s appropriate for a developer to create DLC, how much gamers should be charged, and exactly how many add-ons a company can put out before it becomes too much. Here’s the thing: there’s no such thing as too much DLC. Stop being ridiculous. Here’s what’s wrong with DLC: Developers might choose to... Read more

NYPD sends terrifying robot dog back to the kennel after public backlash

A terrifying robot dog that’s been prowling New York’s streets over the past few months is being sent back to the pound. The NYPD had been leasing the quadruped from Boston Dynamics since last year, but canceled the contract last week after a public backlash. “This is a casualty of politics, bad information, and cheap sound bytes,” John Miller, the department’s deputy commissioner for intelligence and counterterrorism, told The New...
