[ad_1] First up, they’re not truly wireless — Huawei launched the AirPod-baiting FreePods last year, and… we didn’t hear anything about them after that. The FreeLaces, going on first impressions alone, seem a more intriguing option for audio on the go. There are no slender wires, instead, a chunky orange (or black) band contains controls, […]

The Morning After: All of Apple's subscriptions (+)
[ad_1] Hey, good morning! You look fabulous. Apple's big event is over, and we have all the news to recap. If you need a shortcut just look right here. Beyond Apple and its new titanium credit card, rumors point to two new Nintendo Switch consoles on the w… [ad_2] Source link
Telegram users can delete any message in their private chat history
[ad_1] Company founder Pavel Durov noted in his public Telegram channel that the potential for misuse of old messages is getting worse. Something you said can be “taken out of context” and used to hurt you years down the line, Durov said. This ostensibly gives you “complete control” over conversations, rather than trusting someone else […]
NBC shot an entire episode of the ‘Tonight Show’ with the Galaxy S10+
[ad_1] This isn’t the first time a tech giant has taken over at least some portion of a nighttime talk show, and it also isn’t the Tonight Show‘s first stab at sponsored segments. It’s really just the logical extension of streaming’s effect on TV advertising. When the audience can avoid most (if not all) commercial […]
WhatsApp test highlights frequently forwarded messages to curb fake news
[ad_1] It’s not certain if or when this will reach the standard WhatsApp releases, although its presence in the beta program suggests it’s largely a matter of time. The messaging giant is certainly under pressure to act. Critics have blamed fake news on WhatsApp for spurring lynchings and other violence in India, and Facebook has […]
Google Maps lets some users create public events
[ad_1] It appears to be early days. AP had to wait roughly an hour for an event to show up, and there were issues adding photos outside the event header. We’d add that Google’s warning about regional limitations appears to hold true. Public events weren’t an option when checking in Canada, for instance. We’ve asked […]
Family tracking app leaked real-time location data for weeks
[ad_1] This wasn’t helped by React’s own issues with accountability. Its site had no contact information, and even its WHOIS record masked the email address. Messages through the feedback form turned up nothing. The database didn’t go offline until TechCrunch asked Microsoft to reach the developer, who still hasn’t said anything about the leak. It’s […]
Nokia says its phones sent data to China by mistake
[ad_1] The company also rejected talk that other phones would send similar data. Every Nokia phone outside of China sends device data to HMD Global servers (provided by Amazon Web Services) in Singapore, the company said, and abides by local laws. This won’t necessarily put the Finnish investigation to bed, and the claims about the […]
Apple’s rumored game service wouldn’t include ‘freemium’ titles
[ad_1] The apparent leak also discussed how developers would get paid. Apple would divvy up subscription fees based on how often people play a studio’s games, theoretically rewarding those who make particularly compelling titles that keep things fresh with regular updates. You might even hear about the service relatively soon. The sources mentioned that Apple […]
Firefox finally takes fuller advantage of your iPad
[ad_1] The new version also enables sending tabs to other synced devices (no more copy-pasting links). And if you use Outlook for iOS, you now have the option of setting Firefox as your default browser. This combination of features probably won’t have you racing to replace your existing browser if you’re already happy. It might, […]
