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 today’s Wordle answer, you’ll probably need some hints 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.

Microsoft and Google have teamed up to make the default Edge web browser in Windows 11 feel a lot faster and smoother to use – and the tech used could benefit Chrome users as well. As the Winbuzzer website has noticed, this is all thanks to Windows 11’s Application Launch Prefetch range (APLF), which has been expanded, potentially boosting its performance. APLF comes with a parameter known as ‘/prefetch’ which instructs how Windows 11 optimizes and loads applications. In short, this means Windows 11 can prioritize certain programs and dedicate more processing power or memory to the app – and that could mean Edge will load faster when you start it up, display websites (especially image-heavy ones) more smoothly, and just generally feel a lot quicker. While it won’t magically make your internet connection faster, it could still make the process of browsing the web in Edge feel a lot snappier and responsive. The increased range of […]

Google’s excellent Google Wifi and Google Nest Wifi have been delisted from the Google Store – with no forthcoming explanation from the tech giant. Fortunately for Nest fans, the disappearance can likely be explained by an as-of-yet-unannounced new model that will hopefully be arriving soon. As reported last year by 9to5Google, evidence of a new Google router was uncovered back in August, going under the codename ‘Breeza’. While it’s unusual to completely delist an older product before its replacement has even arrived, it’s not entirely unheard of. The 2022-released Nest Wifi Pro (Google’s Wi-Fi 6E model) is still available on the online storefront, but that’s a $199+ high-end model that won’t be best-suited to most casual at-home users. I would personally recommend anyone hunting for a new router sits and waits until the ‘Breeza’ model arrives. What can we expect from next-gen Nest? The regular Google Nest Wifi (which launched back in 2020) is still sitting at […]

In an effort to be more transparent with users, Google is clarifying the language on Chrome’s Incognito Mode disclaimer saying, in no uncertain terms, the company does indeed collect your data. An extra line has been added stating “This won’t change how data is collected by websites you visit and the services they use, including Google.” The refreshed wording was initially discovered by tech news site MSPowerUser on the latest Chrome Canary update for desktop and mobile. We installed the browser onto our devices to double-check and we can confirm the line is indeed there.  The bullet points below the disclaimer are mostly the same. One of the headers does have a few extra words with it now stating “Chrome won’t save the following information” followed by the list instead of simply “Chrome won’t save”. Although it’s unconfirmed, the language update is likely to be the result of a recent lawsuit settlement. Back in 2020, Google was […]

Samsung Internet is a Chromium-based browser, similar to Edge and Google Chrome, and it’s been in the public eye recently due to an unusual listing on the Microsoft Store for a Windows version of the Android browser.  However, MSPoweruser reports that as of today January 15, 2024 the app is no longer listed or accessible on the Microsoft Store. Samsung and Microsoft are yet to release any official statements regarding the peculiar situation.  While it is quite odd to see Samsung Internet on the Microsoft Store, there are a few possible explanations as to what could have happened. Since there was no announcement before the app became available on the store, its appearance back in November 2023 could have been an unintentional release. MSPoweruser suggests that as the app was only available in untranslated Korean it could have been released before it was ready.  What’s going on? It could also be possible that this was part of […]

In recent days, YouTube has been accused of throttling the performance of its own platform as the latest tactic in its war against ad blockers. But YouTube says this categorically isn’t the case. Instead, it looks like the reason for the slowdown lies with the ad blockers themselves – and a fix is on the way. First, let’s get you up to speed. YouTube doesn’t like people using ad blockers on its site and it’s tried a few different methods to get them to stop. This includes a three-strike video policy and annoying five-second delays on videos. So when people noticed that watching YouTube videos while using an ad blocker was causing their PC’s CPU usage to spike – and subsequently make older rigs have performance problems – they reasonably assumed this was yet another ad blocker countermeasure. In response to the criticism YouTube has released a statement (via PCGamer) saying categorically that any loading delays ad […]

Google Maps has quietly been adding some useful upgrades in 2024, including support for 3D buildings while you’re navigating – and Android users are now reporting seeing a new feature that keeps Maps connected while you’re underground or in tunnels. As spotted by SmartDroid (via 9to5Google), Google Maps on Android now contains an option (turned off by default) to connect to Bluetooth beacons. This means your Android phone can use the beacons installed inside the tunnels of many major cities to retain Google Maps connectivity, so you don’t miss any in-tunnel exits or accident alerts. This feature has already been available on the Google-owned Waze for a few years now, but its inclusion in Google Maps is more recent. Some users reported seeing it last year, but it’s now been rolled out more widely – as we can confirm after seeing the feature on our Android phones. Naturally, the feature won’t work in every single tunnel you drive […]
