You may or may not have heard of Samsung’s proprietary browser, Samsung Internet, but it’s quietly been becoming a favorite of many people who use it on their Samsung smartphones. Now, a desktop version of Samsung Internet is debuting for Windows PCs.  According to users on the Samsung subreddit, they like features like its built-in ad-blocker, its deeper and darker dark mode, the smooth integration with Samsung pass (especially if they choose to save most of their information in Samsung pass as opposed to Google or Edge), an incognito mode that you can save bookmarks in, extension support, and more. SamMobile calls Samsung Internet “one of the best browser apps available for Android devices,” and claims that it’s more popular than Google Chrome in some regions (which the company would say, of course).  Samsung pass is a password manager that stores sensitive information (like login credentials, passwords, pay information) for various apps and websites, making it easy […]

Got an old Gmail account that you set up a while ago but have forgotten about? It could be worth tracking it down and signing in, because Google will start deleting inactive Gmail accounts from tomorrow, December 1. Google first announced that it was changing its “inactive account policies” back in May, stating that “if a Google Account has not been used or signed into for at least two years, we may delete the account and its contents.” While that might not sound too concerning for most Gmail users, the content that Google will delete includes emails, Docs, Drive, Meet, Calendar and Google Photos. So if you’ve previously set up an account that is tied to some old photos that you haven’t backed up, it could be worth finding the account and logging in. The act of signing into the Gmail account or using Google Drive should be enough to take it out of the path of […]

What do all Apple app developers have in common? Not much really beyond an almost preternatural enthusiasm for Apple’s platforms and the opportunity to reach the Apple ecosystem’s millions of customers. What amps that excitement up to 11 for them is the chance to be named one of the best apps of the year. Recently, I got to meet and talk to some of the 14 developers of those now-award-winning apps. Naturally, I asked them about their apps, but what I really want to know about is how they’re preparing for Apple’s Vision Pro and spatial computing. To my surprise, some of them answered me.  One week after Apple’s App Store Editorial team named the 40 finalists, the Cupertino Tech giant revealed the 14 Apps and Games winners across, the best iPhone, best iPad, best Apple Watch, and best Mac Apps. Apple even added a new wrinkle this year: Cultural Impact winners. Apple also selected an app […]

It’s time for your daily dose of Quordle hints, plus the answers for both the main game and the Daily Sequence spin off.  Quordle is the only one of the many Wordle clones that I’m still playing now, around 18 months after the daily-word-game craze hit the internet, and with good reason: it’s fun, but also difficult. What’s more, its makers (now the online dictionary Merriam-Webster) are also keeping it fresh in the form of a variant called the Daily Sequence, which sees you complete four puzzles consecutively, rather than concurrently.  But Quordle is tough, so if you already find yourself searching for Wordle hints, you’ll probably need some for this game too.  I’m a Quordle and Wordle fanatic who’s been playing since December 2021, so I can definitely help you solve Quordle today and improve your game for tomorrow. Read on for my Quordle hints to game #675 and the answers to the main game and […]

If you’re one of those people who open browser tabs like they’re going out of fashion, and eventually end up with a sprawl of tabbed sites that gives you a headache trying to cope with it all – well, Google Chrome could soon help with that. This is another potential case of AI to the rescue, in fact, with an inbound feature for Chrome as spotted by well-known leaker Leopeva64 on X (formerly Twitter). Chrome’s “Organize tabs” dialog now displays a loading animation similar to what you see in Google’s AI-powered search results or in the Side panel (in case anyone still doubted that this feature will use AI 😅):https://t.co/m8Sacjgz33.https://t.co/KkCpiEscq1 pic.twitter.com/ETFRQIoEhoNovember 27, 2023 See more This is the new ‘Organize Tabs’ ability which is in testing in Google’s browser, and now it looks like it’ll use artificial intelligence. As Leopeva64 points out, when you click on the button to have your tabs organized, the animation to show […]

Every once in a while, X (formerly Twitter) CTO Elon Musk realizes he’s made a rash or simply bad decision and reverses himself. Oh, wait. That virtually never happens. Even today’s announcement that X is bringing back article headlines is a half-reversal, at best. In August, X made the head-scratching decision to strip article headlines out of tweets. It was a small, annoying change that ultimately turned one of X’s key features, its usefulness as a source for breaking news, into a hunt for stories about breaking news. Following the change, article tweets looked like out-of-context images. Tweet text doesn’t link to anything, and if you want to read a story, you have to know to click on the image. In an upcoming release, 𝕏 will overlay title in the upper potion of the image of a URL cardNovember 23, 2023 See more It’s no secret that the frustration factor of using X has been growing ever […]
