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, more than two years after the daily-word-game craze hit the internet, and with good reason: it’s fun, but also difficult. 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.

Gmail, the email service that almost started out as a joke but rose to become a dominant player in the space, is exactly 20 years old on April 1. It is for most of us, as hard to imagine a world without Gmail as it is for us to search without Google. But Gmail was a latecomer to the email game, arriving decades after we started using computers to deliver electronic messages to third-party providers who would, like the old-school post office, sort and send them along to their proper digital destination. It was well after MSMail and ccMail but early enough that we still demanded a hyphen between “e” and “mail.” Ever the cheeky upstart (despite by then being the most-used search engine), Google launched Gmail on April Fool’s Day to mostly widespread confusion. At PCMag, where I worked at the time, we admitted that “Google’s release included language which sounded like a ruse” and no […]

ChromeOS users have been promised a new trackpad gesture feature that’ll make dismissing pop-up notifications a breeze – but we’re yet to see it actually appear on any Chromebooks. Instead, some demo users have stumbled upon the feature in Google’s Developer Channel – a full month later. The new controls were technically introduced to ChromeOS in February, due to be rolled out ‘over the coming days’ according to the official blog post. However, it seems the feature is still trapped in development limbo. Robby Payne from ChromeUnboxed laments how common it seems to be for new features to be announced for ChromeOS only for a few specific features to be completely left out until the next update.  It seems like that might be the case with the gesture feature. An entirely new ChromeOS 122 update was introduced at the start of March with no mention of the gesture control, implying either that the feature has already been […]

Google has released a new version of Chrome designed for ARM-powered Windows 11 PCs, and this fresh take on the web browser will particularly benefit from the incoming Snapdragon X Elite (ARM-based) chip, which big things are expected from. The idea, as Google explains in a blog post, is to get Chrome fully optimized for ARM systems so it runs faster and smoother, with the company adding: “Based on recent benchmark testing, we expect Chrome to get an even bigger boost in performance with Qualcomm’s upcoming Snapdragon X Elite.” The Snapdragon X Elite has already created quite a stir around the possibly major performance uplifts it’ll bring to Windows 11 devices running with ARM. We’ve been hearing that Qualcomm’s new ARM-based processor is a serious threat to Apple’s M3 chip, and that it offers serious AI acceleration powers to outclass Intel’s Meteor Lake CPUs (add some seasoning here, mind). In short, the hype train is running at […]

The Apple Journal app has been garnering a lot of social media attention lately due to rampant speculation that the ‘Discoverable by Others’ feature under Journaling Suggestions is sharing users’ key information – such as names and locations – with others using the Journal app.  The concern is fuelled by the fact that the Journalling Suggestions setting is enabled by default – but rest assured, this is not the case. Your information is not being shared; in fact, the feature is actually responsible for some super smart recommendations.  These detailed, specific writing recommendations are what set the official Apple Journal app apart from other similar apps you might find in the App Store. It groups suggestions based on the places you’ve gone recently, any photos you take, or even the music you listen to (but only if you use Apple Music, not Spotify or Tidal). It also offers some more general self-reflective prompts to get you started […]

WhatsApp has been busy developing a video fast-forward and rewind feature, with the new feature arriving for iOS devices soon. The feature will apply to videos sent and received within the instant messaging app, with users able to double-tap the right side of the screen to fast forward and the left side of the screen to rewind the video currently playing by ten seconds.  According to Neowin, the feature has been in testing since last year, and works similarly to analogous features in mobile streaming apps like YouTube or Netflix. This feature will come included in Whatsapp by default once users update to the latest version via the App Store. You can read the full changelog for yourself if you’d like more details on what Whatsapp has changed for iOS users, but this is the headline item.  Some other standout features arriving in the popular messaging app are the ability to instantly record videos while in chats […]
