Google’s data collection practices have landed the search giant in hot water down under. Australia’s federal court found that the company had misled Android users about the location data collected through their mobile devices. The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) launched the legal action against Google back in 2019. It argued that if a consumer disabled the “Location History” setting on their device, but left “Web & App Activity”... Read more ›

I love my home office chair — deeply. It feels like sitting in a hug. Before 2020, I would only see it a few hours a day. The rest of the time, I’d work in co-working spaces and coffee shops, which I walk to. It kept me active. The pandemic changed that — my chair became part of my body. I coded there, I had meetings there, I ate my... Read more ›

Say you’re on Google.com, and you enter a search term. After the results load, simply hit the / key to focus on the search box, and you can resume typing in there right away. That’s it,...

Cozy Grove is an exploration and adventure game from developer Spry Fox. It was recently released on consoles and I managed to get my hands on a review copy for the Nintendo Switch. I normally don’t play these kinds of games but there was something special about this one: ghost bears. The big idea: Cozy Grove is a game in the same genre as Animal Crossing. It’s safe to say...

There’s never a dull moment in tech. Elon Musk and Ford CEO Jim Farley got into it on Twitter yesterday after a new Ford advertisement seemingly tossed shade at Tesla’s Autopilot. Heads up: The real lead here is that Ford’s new BlueCruise kit, a driverless car system, will launch on certain Mustang and F-150 models. Can we all take a moment to recognize how awesome the idea of an autonomous... Read more ›

Instagram has apologized for a “mistake” that led its algorithm to promote harmful diet content to people with eating disorders. The social network had been automatically recommending terms including “appetite suppressant,” which campaigners feared could lead vulnerable people to relapse. Facebook, which owns Instagram, told the BBC that the suggestions were triggered by a new search functionality: As part of this new feature, when you tap on the search bar,... Read more ›

Twitter has launched a new initiative called “Responsible ML” that will investigate the harms caused by the platform’s algorithms. The company said on Wednesday that it will use the findings to improve the experience on Twitter: This may result in changing our product, such as removing an algorithm and giving people more control over the images they Tweet, or in new standards into how we design and build policies when...

We all know the term ‘wireless’ headphones is a big fat lie. No matter how long the battery life, you eventually need to charge them. And guess what: that involves a wire! Even with so-called wireless charging headphones, the charging stand involves a wire too. Urbanista‘s new Los Angeles headphones are solar-powered, so they can rightfully be called wireless headphones. At $199, they promise to never need to be connected... Read more ›

Every so often, a new car comes along that makes me think I’ve seen it somewhere before. If you look at the images below and think today is one of those days, you’d be mistaken. The car below is a totally new car — and looks nothing like a VW Beetle from a bygone era. Chinese outfit, Great Wall Motors and its electric focused sub-brand Ora really hit it out... Read more ›

I spend so much time on Google Docs that I do my best not to think about it. But I was forced to today — because Google Docs is acting weird. There were issues. Firstly, I couldn’t select any text on Google Docs. Secondly, much of this text was running off the page. The technical term for this, I believe, is “a shitter.” On top of this, Google Sheets was...

Pulsars are one of the more intriguing objects in the sky, radiating regular flashes of electromagnetic energy, which can (sometimes) be seen from Earth. Flashing with astonishing regularity, these objects are stellar corpses of massive stars that met their demise in supernovae. When beams of energy are aligned just right, they can be seen from Earth as regular pulses of light. Occasionally, pulsars produce unpredictable giant radio pulses (GRPs) —... Read more ›

For a lot of car nerds, the passion began before they could even drive, with toy cars like the diecast scale models made by Matchbox. Matchbox might be single-handedly responsible for getting more kids into cars than anyone, or anything, else. That company is the reason I smile every time I see an E31 era BMW 8 Series. Now, in keeping with the times, Matchbox is releasing a bunch of... Read more ›

For many people, selling a business for $50 million is a win. But for venture capitalists, it’s a poor outcome. VC success is defined as achieving top quartile return status among your peers. In other words, go big or go home. At the same time, barriers to building software are falling exponentially. Many startups are lost in a sea of commoditization, running on other people’s platforms, integrations, go-to-market channels, and... Read more ›

Some five years after it went down, the Washington Post’s Ellen Nakashima and Reed Albergotti have shed light on how the US Federal Bureau of Intelligence (FBI) managed to unlock an iPhone belonging to the terrorist involved in the San Bernardino shooting of 2015 that saw 14 people killed. The agency’s method for cracking the code has been a secret until now. The FBI initially sought Apple’s help to gain... Read more ›

The past year or so has been one of the most interesting periods for smartphone design since the early days of iOS and Android. After the bezel wars of a few years ago, we’re now seeing companies explore wackier form factors that break the typical. We’ve seen phones that can fold and phones that can roll, so it was only a matter of time until somebody combined the two. That’s... Read more ›
