Spell-checking tools are more or less the norm when it comes to word processing software, and more advanced word processing tools such as Microsoft Word also include grammar checking features as well. The good news for Google Docs users is that if a grammar checking tool was something you have been hoping to see, you’ll be pleased to learn that your wish has been granted.
Google has recently announced that Google Docs will be getting a grammar-checking feature after what feels like forever, and also for what seems like a standard feature that should have been included from the start. The good news is that this could have been worth the wait because according to Google, the grammar-checking tool will be powered by machine learning.
This means that it will be smarter at analyzing the context of your writing and will be able to provide more accurate recommendations and corrections. The bad news is that this feature won’t be available for everyone right away. It is expected to roll out for business users first and will require the company’s admin to enable it.
As for everyone else, Google has yet to confirm a launch date so we guess we’ll just have to wait. In the meantime for those who do use Google Docs as their primary word processor, there are third-party alternatives such as Grammarly Chrome extension that could also be worth checking out.

Apple’s 2018 refresh of the MacBook Pro finally introduced some hardware upgrades that a professional might benefit from. Or at least that’s what it looked like on paper, but a hands-on review by YouTuber Dave Lee discovered a CPU throttling issue that seemed to be due to the design of the laptop itself.
It was discovered that due to Apple trying to keep the laptop as thin as possible, it resulted in bad thermal management which caused the laptop to overheat under intense workloads, thus forcing the processor to throttle itself. Apple has since claimed that this was a “bug” and that a fix was incoming. The good news is that it looks like the fix is now available.
As part of a new update to macOS, Apple also released a fix that is meant to address the throttling issue. According to Apple’s statement, “Following extensive performance testing under numerous workloads, we’ve identified that there is a missing digital key in the firmware that impacts the thermal management system and could drive clock speeds down under heavy thermal loads on the new MacBook Pro. A bug fix is included in today’s macOS High Sierra 10.13.6 Supplemental Update and is recommended.”
Apple also claims that following the release of the fix, the 15-inch MacBook Pro should be up to 70% faster, and that those on the 13-inch model will experience up to 2x faster performance. Given that this bug is said to affect all 2018 MacBook Pro models, not just the ones with the Core i9 configuration, it is recommended that all users should update their software.
