9to5Google (opens in new tab) examined code found within the latest version of Google Play Services and found evidence of Google seemingly working on a detection system for trackers.

Still there is a clear defining line, in that Google Maps and Waze both approach navigation in different Waze. Google Maps is all about the data, with years of information collection to utilize in the goal of getting you from A to B. Meanwhile Waze relies on crowdsourcing, and has a uniquely aggressive way of getting you to your destination. Still, the differences between the two are pretty subtle. Determining which one is best isn’t an easy task, and what you pick will probably depend on your needs and preferences....

According to “a source that has proven familiar with Google’s plans”, the screen will essentially be removable, functioning as a tablet on the go and reverting to a passive smart display when docked on its speaker base. It will apparently be revealed later this year. But for Google, it presents a different problem: what’s the best operating system for this new-look device and showcasing Google Assistant’s smart screen abilities?...

The Halo TV show project has been in development for almost a decade. It was originally announced by Microsoft in 2013, back when it had with Steven Spielberg on board as a producer.

But with the incorporation of Discovery Plus set to go ahead next year, it doesn’t look like the pricing will hold for much longer, with Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD) CEO JB Perrette stating the price “can probably move north” in the near future and that probably means it will be for the combined service of both — HBO Max and Discovery Plus. The comments came on the company’s quarterly earnings call, and are a reaction to Perrette’s surprise that relatively few people downgraded from the $14....

This all started when the Wall Street Journal (opens in new tab) broke news that the then-WWE CEO had paid $3 million in hush money to hide an alleged affair with a former employee.

Well, no. If you think about it: the more sensitive the microphone, the more sound it’s going to pick up, which includes ambient and background noise. Somewhat counterintuitively then, a better mic may potentially make your call worse. The quality of the audio signal might be higher, but your voice may be muted, overpowered or lost by other noises. This is why targeted noise reduction software is so important, and why Apple’s Voice Isolation feature will clear up your calls....

Runes in Elden Ring are easy come, easy go. Every enemy drops Runes upon defeat, and you can find lots of items that confer additional Runes as you explore. However, if you die twice in quick succession, your Runes will disappear forever.

Luckily, Elden Ring has plenty of places to build up your Rune collection at relatively little risk....

In the past, adding players to your Friends list on the Switch was a convoluted process. You’d have to look up a 12-digit “Friend Code,” transmit it to another player, and hope that both of you wrote it down accurately during every step of the process. Now, however, the Switch smartphone app lets you share your Friend Code via either URL or QR code. It’s incredibly easy to do, and much faster than trying to wrangle a 12-digit code....

One of my favorite new macOS Ventura features is the ability you now have to schedule and unsend email via the Mail client. I can’t count how many times I’ve quickly written and sent an email, only to look at it again a few seconds after hitting “Send” and realize I’d made a huge mistake. While email clients like Gmail have offered some form of “takeback” button for sent email for some time, until recently you had no such option on the macOS Mail client....

Can Messi finally achieve his World Cup dream and lead Argentina to glory, or will France become only the third team in history to win back-to-back World Cups?...

So, if you’re a Brit across the pond for work or a holiday, you may well be feeling bereft of your favorite shows. Don’t worry though – there’s a simple and effective solution....
