Apple’s App Store holiday giveaway starts today

[ad_1] In 2008, Apple launched an app called “12 Days of Gifts,” which served a similar purpose.

Instagram is using AI to alert bullies to offensive captions

[ad_1] The anti-bullying notice is available now in “select countries,” and should be available elsewhere in the “coming months.” Whether or not this proves effective is uncertain. Instagram said that its efforts to reduce bullying in comments have been “promising,” but that doesn’t guarantee similar performance for the posts themselves. Someone caught up in the […]

Google Maps helps you find EV chargers that work with your car

[ad_1] There’s also a new “electric vehicle settings” option in the app’s settings that you can use to set your plug preferences. This filtering isn’t a novel concept among EV station finding apps.
