Quordle today – hints and answers for Wednesday, August 30 (game #583)

30/08/2023 0

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 good 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 new 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.

Bing AI is officially coming to Chrome, taking on Google Bard on its own turf

29/08/2023 0

Bing AI has been a big selling point of Bing Search and Microsoft’s Edge browser for the past six months, and it’s been announced that it’s coming to Google’s rival web browser, Chrome.   Microsoft has made a noticeable effort to convert people to its own products, so it’s a pleasant surprise to see it give Chrome users the option to access the ChatGPT-powered Bing AI from Chrome.  Microsoft attempted to capitalize on the interest around ChatGPT by integrating the tech into its products like Bing Search, Edge and Windows 11. Microsoft’s use of ChatGPT tech in Bing AI’s chatbot garnered a lot of positive attention when it launched, something its rather unloved Bing search engine doesn’t get as much of, so it made sense that Microsoft wanted to keep those acclaimed features exclusive to its own products.

Bing-related backlash: Microsoft pulls advertising after complaints

29/08/2023 0

After a heavy-handed ad push targeting users who use a default search engine other than Microsoft Bing, it appears that Microsoft has put a pause on it.   Both Neowin and Windows Latest reported in recent articles that they’ve been seeing an increasing number of ads for Bing and Edge while using Windows 10 and Windows 11.  Many users have been seeing repeated ads trying to herd them over to Microsoft products (like Bing search) while using the Google Chrome browser (which, rather unsurprisingly, uses Google as the default search engine). Some have even apparently been bugged by these ads while playing games. As detailed by Windows Latest, the new ad was a pop-up that appeared in the lower right corner of the desktop screen, persistently showing up over a number apps and games.  This pop-up would try to convince Chrome users to consider using Bing as their default search engine, touting the benefits of Bing’s AI […]

YouTube Music is finally getting one of Spotify’s best features but with one catch

25/08/2023 0

On the heels of the reveal of a different YouTube Music project, Google has announced that it’s finally bringing live lyrics to the service. Live lyrics is a feature that Spotify has offered for years, which automatically scrolls lyrics for you as a song progresses to make it easier to understand, as well as to sing along. According to Android Police, Google has been working on this feature for its own competing service and is finally making it available after months of testing. In order to access live lyrics, first navigate to a song with lyrics attached to it. Then go to the Lyrics tab in the Now Playing screen and you’ll see the feature play out. The text is much larger in the updated version (on the left of the image below) versus the old lyrics screen (on the right of the image below), and the line of lyrics currently being sung is highlighted in a […]

Scam alert: your Facebook groups may be rife with hoax posts

25/08/2023 0

Facebook groups have a serious misinformation problem, according to a new report from a leading fact-checking site – and the hundreds of hoax posts it discovered about escaped snakes and serial killers probably only hint at the scale of the global problem. The report from Full Fact (via The Guardian), which is an independent, fact-checking charity in the UK, has gathered data and examples picked up over the past year during its studies of online misinformation. Overall, Full Fact found 1,200 examples of hoax posts in Facebook groups during the last 12 months, which it says is likely to be “the tip of the iceberg”. The charity says that judging the true scale of the problem is difficult, because “many hoax posts are never fact checked or reported”. But it found that at least 115 different communities across the UK have been the victim of hoaxes, and that these posts have also appeared in many groups overseas, too. […]

Google Chrome on iOS will soon get this useful Safari feature

24/08/2023 0

After nearly two years since Apple’s Safari browser moved the address bar to the bottom of the screen, Google Chrome’s iOS version is making the same move. The new feature, called Bottom Omnibox Setting, is in the testing phase in the Testlfight version of the Chrome app on iOS, which was first reported on by iOS developer Steve Moser. Along with revealing the name and status of the feature, Moser also posted a screenshot of what the choice looks like in the settings menu, with users able to switch between the address bar being at the bottom or the top of the screen. (Image credit: Steve Moser) In order to make the address bar switch, users simply need to go to Settings, then Address Bar on Chrome’s test version. However, for those using the TestFlight version of Chrome, you need to enable the “chrome://flags/#bottom-omnibox-steady-state” flag. The feature hasn’t been rolled out to all users yet, but even […]
