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.

Elon Musk has made drastic cuts to the ‘election integrity team’ at X (formerly Twitter), a department that was responsible for combating the spread of misinformation online, and also scrapped a feature that lets users self-report false political statements. The announcement was made just weeks after the platform said it had plans to expand its safety teams, ahead of next year’s US presidential election. Musk took to X to announce that the team had been disbanded via a typically blunt statement. Following the team cuts, a feature that allows users to report misinformation has also been removed from the X platform. Oh you mean the “Election Integrity” Team that was undermining election integrity? Yeah, they’re gone.September 27, 2023 See more Musk acquired the platform last year for $44 billion, and his latest move raises fresh concerns about X’s ability to manage information and content surrounding important political events. It follows a European Commission study published by TrustLab, […]

An official post from the head of Privacy at Reddit detailed the social media site’s upcoming plans for how advertisers can track users’ activity, and changes to privacy settings. The short of it is that users will no longer be able to choose whether Reddit advertisers track you based on your site activity. In fact, comparing the handy ‘before’ and ‘after’ screenshots the post provided, we can see that most privacy settings have been gutted including ‘Personalize all of Reddit based on the outbound links you click on,’ ‘based on your Reddit activity and account info,’ ‘based on your general location,’ and ‘ads/recommendations based on your activity with our partners.’ Image 1 of 2 (Image credit: Reddit) Image 2 of 2 (Image credit: Reddit) This leaves only ‘Personalized ads on Reddit based on information and activity from our partners’ in most regions, with an additional option allowing for ‘your activity on Reddit’ to be toggled off in […]

Adobe’s browser-based ‘Photoshop on the web’ has finally launched after spending two years in beta – but the photo-editing tool still requires a hefty monthly subscription, despite previous rumors of a freemium version. The good news for Creative Cloud subscribers who need a web-based version of Photoshop – hello, Chromebook fans – is that Photoshop on the web has launched with two of Adobe’s most useful AI-powered tools, Generative Fill and Generative Expand. The former can add new objects to your images with a simple text prompt, while the latter lets you broaden an image to add more information to a scene (it’s a bit like a reverse of the traditional crop tool). While Photoshop on the web is a more basic version of the desktop program, these tools do sit alongside staples like ‘remove background’, the spot healing brush, and layers-based editing. As images are saved in Creative Cloud, you can also access any in-progress files from any computer […]

Most people don’t remember what it was like to search the Internet before Google, which turns 25 today. It’s not that Google was the first to crawl and index the web. Others, like Alta Vista, Ask Jeeves, and Northern Lights did their best to help us make sense of the rapidly expanding Information superhighway (read our round-up of pre-Google services). We searched because it was faster than crawling through links, hoping you’d find the right site, or using a browse tree like Yahoo search. I don’t know, though, that we thought of a web search and its results as answering questions. Or maybe we did but assumed that the Web was already, by 1998, too vast to spelunk to the center and hope to find anything. Google turns 25 (Image credit: Future) This is the part of a series of TechRadar articles marking and celebrating Google’s 25th birthday. Read them all here. The internet was so big, […]

Google announced that Google Podcasts app users will have to migrate to YouTube Music later in 2024, as part of its wider efforts to transfer users and listeners to its new all-in-one app. Google previously expressed its intention to help out podcast creators through its YouTube service, with plans revealed as early as March 2022. This includes a dedicated podcast section on the video and streaming site complete with thumbnails, timestamps, and various playlists. There’s also the ability to integrate podcast RSS feeds, including users being able to upload their own feeds to YouTube by the end of 2023. In order to facilitate the migration, Google stated that it would make YouTube Music “more of a destination for podcast fans with features focused on discovery, community, and switching between audio podcasts and video,” according to TechCrunch. This is similar to Spotify’s own efforts to support video podcasters, which started in 2022. This feels like a repeat of […]

Google is introducing a new Performance Panel to Chrome that will allow users to track sleeping tabs, tab performance and memory usage. The new feature should be coming to Chrome in Windows 11 and macOS in the coming months.  According to Windows Latest, the panel is a step in the right direction for Google’s plan to improve browser speed and security. However, one could argue that it replicates Microsoft Edge’s ‘browser essentials’ feature that manages the performance of Microsoft’s rival web browser.  In a post on the Chromium bug forum – a place for Chrome testers to report bugs to the project members or developers –  a Google engineer notes that the final stages of designing the new panel are underway, and that the team is “working on finalizing the design for the contents of the new performance side panel and need to prototype how the different performance cards will be displayed. To simplify prototyping, we are […]
