Earlier this month, TechCrunch reported that the Bytedance-owned company’s Instagram competitor is likely to be named TikTok Notes.
Ford was the first to start offering the so-called North American Charging Standard (NACS) adapters last month for free.
Most automakers have announced that future EVs will incorporate Tesla’s charging tech into future vehicles.
Rivian’s next-generation vehicles, which it just revealed earlier this month, will also include the Tesla charging port.
Making Tesla’s Supercharger network accessible to owners means they now have 15,000 new fast chargers where they can plug in.
Rivian has also been building out its own network of fast-charging stations, which it calls the Rivian Adventure Network.
Smart fitness ring maker Oura announced a partnership with Amazon today to sell its products through the e-commerce site.
The Heritage ring starts from $299 and the Horizon ring starts from $399.
The most distinctive difference between the two is that Heritage rings have a flat top and Horizon rings don’t have that.
Since Oura launched the Oura Ring 3, India-based startup Ultrahuman released two rings including Ultrahuman Air last year.
Last year, Oura launched the Circles feature to encourage users to share their stats with friends and family.
Apple announced new MacBook Air models with 13-inch and 15-inch screen sizes with M3 Chip.
The 13-inch model starts at $1,099 and the 15-inch model starts at $1,200.
Both variants are available for pre-orders in the U.S. starting today with general availability slotted for March 8.
Apple unveiled the M2 Macbook Air in 2022 and added the 15-inch model to the portfolio last year.
Both Macbook Air models have 18 hours of claimed battery life, a 1080p webcam, Wi-Fi 6E connectivity, and support for two external displays.
Meta said Thursday that it has started to test two “most requested” features: drafts and in-app camera.
You can write the post you might want to post later in the composer, and just swipe down to save the draft.
The Threads app also shows a different composer icon in the bottom bar when there is a saved draft that you haven’t posted yet.
Along with the new drafts feature, Mark Zuckerberg posted a photo through the new camera shortcut that opens in the composer.
This shortcut makes it easier if you want to quickly post a photo to Threads.
Spotify is pulling support for two music festivals in protest against a controversial new tax directed at music-streaming platforms operating in France, and threatened more action will follow in the coming months.
While all the major music-streaming platforms have come together in opposition to the new law, including Apple, Google’s YouTube, and local player Deezer, Spotify has been the most vocal.
In the wake of the announcement last week, Spotify said that the move was a “real blow to innovation,” and that it was evaluating its next moves.
The company later pulled a 180-degree turn when the government gave assurances that music-streaming platforms wouldn’t be expected to cover any extra costs resulting from the law.
“Spotify will have the means to absorb this tax, but Spotify will disinvest in France and will invest in other markets,” Monin said in an interview with FranceInfo last week.
Mark Zuckerberg said today that Meta has started testing a feature to show Threads posts on Mastodon and other AcitivityPub protocol supported networks.
“Making Threads interoperable will give people more choice over how they interact and it will help content reach more people.
I’m pretty optimistic about this,” Zuckerberg said in a post.
