Delta hopes to be the first carbon neutral airline
[ad_1] The company is promising to be both transparent about its progress and “nimble” in adapting to the latest technology. It teased a “number of milestones” coming in 2020. It’s an ambitious plan (BP isn’t expecting neutrality until 2050), and it’s notable that Delta isn’t trying to ‘cheat’ by using carbon offsets. This is still […]
It doesn’t matter if China hacked Equifax
[ad_1] It was a message of PR reprieve for the skinsuits at Equifax, who spend their life cycles profiting from tracking and trading our personal and financial information (and we’re powerless to stop them). Especially now as we’re seeing reports about how four Chinese hackers “took down Equifax.” That sure sounds a lot better (for […]
The IRS won’t ask you to report ‘Fortnite’ V-Bucks on tax returns
[ad_1] The tax forms won’t clarify matters, though. Schedule 1 in Form 1040 asks taxpayers if they have “any financial interest in any virtual currency” without a definition or an indication of what to do next. While many will check with the IRS for a clarification or simply assume the tax bureau is referring to […]
Motorola Razr review: A fashion statement, not a flagship
[ad_1] There are a few more things to note about the Razr’s software. Unlike most other premium phones you’re likely to see in 2020 — including the new Galaxy Z Flip — the Razr only runs Android 9.0 Pie. Now, that’s a fine flavor of Android, but Motorola could’ve done better. Oh, and for you […]
Gmail for iOS will let you attach items from the Files app
[ad_1] In the iOS app, users will simply click the attachment icon, scroll to the “Attachments” section and select the folder icon. This isn’t a huge change, but attachments have always felt a bit limited in the Gmail app, so it’s a welcomed improvement. This is an “extended rollout,” so don’t be surprised if you […]
Australian court orders Google to reveal user who wrote a dentist’s bad review
[ad_1] The surgeon in question, Dr. Matthew Kabbabe, had asked Google share the identity of the anonymous user, “CBsm 23.” Google rejected the request, stating it didn’t “have any means to investigate where and when the ID was created.” However, a judge said that Dr. Kabbabe had the right to pursue a defamation case and […]
Online-only platforms are going offline with permanent spaces
[ad_1] Hunker describes itself as an editorial website to help “first-timers improve their homes — with inspiring tours, practical solutions and design advice for real people.” Shopify is an all-in-one commerce platform where users can start and run an online business, facilitating 820,000 online stores since June 2019. Depop calls itself “the creative community’s marketplace” […]
How to connect your new turntable to any audio system
[ad_1] Before we jump in, it’s important to understand what components and technologies you need to get the music from a vinyl record into your speakers (you can find more detailed definitions of terms in our guide to the best turntables). Unlike the audio signal coming out of your phone, computer, or CD player, the […]
Pandora’s Apple Watch app can stream music without an iPhone
[ad_1] The Pandora Watch app is now completely standalone. Previously, you could download music to the wearable through Pandora, but being able to stream whatever you want without having your phone close by is a neat update. Pandora’s stealing a march on many of its rivals here. Apple, of course, allows direct streaming to Apple […]
