And a warning for Tesla drivers |
|
|
Today we've got both good news and bad. The bad news is for Tesla owners, who might want to think twice before using the company's latest "full self driving" mode. The good news? Copy and paste might soon get a massive upgrade -- and that's something we can all be excited about! |

Tesla recently rolled out a long-awaited update to its Full Self-Driving (FSD) mode that gives its vehicles a slew of driver-assist features. But in a stark warning to owners who've forked out for the premium FSD feature, Tesla said that the software is still in beta and therefore "may do the wrong thing at the worst time," and insisted that drivers should keep their "hands on the wheel and pay extra attention to the road."
The message comes after a number of fatal accidents over the years involving Tesla vehicles where the driver may not have been paying attention while the car was in Autopilot or FSD mode.
Critics of the California-based electric-car company have long said that using terms such as Autopilot and Full Self-Driving can lead some drivers into believing that their vehicle is fully autonomous, prompting them to take their eyes off the road. |

Microsoft is currently collaborating with Google on a new set of APIs (application programming interfaces) that could dramatically change the way we think about simple commands like copy and paste. Collectively called Pickle Clipboard APIs, they will allow you to copy and paste a wide range of file types.
At the moment, Microsoft Edge and Google Chrome only allow you to copy a few file formats between the browser and native applications. These formats include (but are not limited to) JPEG, PNG, and HTML. Reportedly, the two browsers are now working on a new set of Chromium APIs that will hopefully expand the list of supported file types you're allowed to copy from.
If implemented, it might soon become much easier to move content between your browser and other applications on your computer. |

If there were a recipe for Gunpowder Milkshake, it would probably involve John Wick aesthetic poured over an Ocean's Eleven-level female ensemble, blended briskly and consumed with plenty of laughter, cheers, and patriarchy-smashing celebration.
Directed by Navot Papushado, the new Netflix film Gunpowder Milkshake assembles the movie equivalent of a murderers' row — Karen Gillan, Lena Headey, Carla Gugino, Michelle Yeoh, and Angela Bassett — to tell the story of an elite assassin, Sam (Gillan), who finds herself on the run after refusing to kill an 8-year-old girl. In order to protect themselves from the criminal organization hunting them, the pair seek refuge with a sisterhood of hitwomen who make it clear that when it comes to killing, this is most certainly not a man's world. |

TIPS, TRICKS, & TECHNIQUES |
Nothing lasts forever — especially not smartphone batteries. Those tiny lithium-ion powerhouses that run your iPhone or Android phone are all consumables, which means they have a limited life span. The longer you hang on to your device, the more your battery will degrade, and eventually, it will have to be replaced.
Smartphone batteries don't usually just conk out. There are telltale hints over time, mostly relating to your phone's performance. You may notice that the device is slow to respond to taps and prompts or that apps take longer to launch or respond to commands. Or, perhaps your phone drains more rapidly than in the past, is slower to power up, never powers up to 100%, shuts down unexpectedly under normal conditions, or will not run unless it is plugged into the charger. Here's how to spot the telltale signs. |
