Google acknowledges the ambiguity of the new Directive in its blog post. “The law also creates new rights for publishers when longer previews of their content are used online – but without defining what exactly a short extract or a longer preview is.” “Despite this uncertainty, we announced last year that we will pay news publishers for content which goes beyond links and short extracts, as we are already doing in countries such as Germany,” Google said....

So if you’re driving 30 minutes to work, Google Maps can estimate that your battery will be down to 70% by the time you get there....

Here’s how to customize the Android 12 At a Glance widget Android 12 brings a lot of personalization to the table, making it possible to not only customize a widget but also how those look. One of the sole exceptions to that, unfortunately, is “At a Glance.” While the widget doesn’t, on its own, look terrible, it also doesn’t support the latest theme elements to quite the same extent. Meaning that some users will be left with at least one widget, loaded with potential information, that doesn’t support the colors to help it match the rest of their UI....

Do note that this is not a direct replacement for “Magic Eraser”, of course.

This tool can remove objects, while also trying to mast they were there in the first place. That’s exactly what “Magic Eraser” does.

The new bill explicitly targets Huawei Technologies, and ZTE Corp. U.S. lawmakers believe the companies secretly collaborate with the Chinese government on censorship and espionage.
