Although it is one of the biggest social networks in the world, Instagram is able to get away with one rather big sin. It’s still a mostly smartphone-only affair, refusing to embrace tablets and even desktops to some extent. While Instagram does have a presence on web browsers, it’s meant only for viewing and, only recently, messaging with other users. … Continue reading
A Space Force lieutenant colonel has been removed from his post after claiming on a conservative podcast that Marxist ideologies are overrunning America’s armed forces, CNN and Military.com reported Sunday.
As some of you might have heard, Twitter could be considering a new paid subscription model. For those wondering how much this service could cost, a tweet by researcher Jane Manchun Wong has revealed that it could possibly end up priced at $2.99 a month, and that the service will also be known as Twitter Blue.
However, it seems that $2.99 could be the base price for the service. Wong also claims that there could be multiple paid tiers and that the higher-end tiers could give users access to more paid features than the others, although right now we’re not sure as to what all the features are, although one of the features is said to be the ability to undo a tweet.
Twitter is calling their upcoming Subscription Service “Twitter Blue”, priced at $2.99/month for now, including paid features like:

Twitter users have long called on the company to allow them to edit their tweets, but to date that has yet to happen. Twitter has defended their decision by saying the platform was initially started out as a SMS/text service and they wanted to preserve that vibe. An undo would be kind of nice but we’re not sure how that would work.
Twitter hasn’t announced when they will be official launching their subscription model or if the price will really start at $2.99, but hopefully we will be hearing something from the company soon.

Many years ago, it was discovered that Google was working on a new operating system codenamed Fuchsia OS. It is, what some believe, the successor to Android where it is said that it will give Google a greater degree of control over Android that it never had, similar to how Apple controls iOS.
None of this is confirmed at the moment, but according to leakster Ice Universe, it appears that one of Fuchsia’s potential adopters would be Samsung. The oft-accurate leakster claims that Samsung could adopt the new operating system in the future, although it is admittedly rather vague as to when that future is.
It is very possible that Samsung will adopt Fuchsia OS in the future

Also, we’re not sure if this means that Samsung will eventually abandon Android in favor of Fuchsia, or if they will offer both platforms. This also begs the question of what Google plans to do with Android. Will it eventually replace Android or will both operating systems exist side-by-side?
It will be interesting to see what Fuchsia will be able to bring to the table, especially given that we’ve been hearing about this for quite a while now, which means that Google could possibly be heavily invested in it. Either way, Google I/O is taking place soon so maybe we will hear more about their plans for Fuchsia OS then.

If you use Chrome on your mobile device, you might notice how when you go back and forth between pages it loads kind of instantly? This is because Chrome on mobile, specifically Android, has a feature called “back-forward cache” that basically keeps a page “alive” temporarily so that if you go back or go forward, it will load instantly instead of you having to wait.
According to Google, “Back-forward cache is a browser feature which improves the user experience by keeping a page alive after the user navigates away from it and reuses it for session history navigation (browser back/forward buttons, history.back(), etc) to make the navigation instant. The pages in the cache are frozen and do not run any javascript.”
The good news is that if you use Chrome on desktop, it seems that Google has brought the feature over to the desktop version of Chrome which means that it should be available on Windows, macOS, and Linux. It should be noted that some elements of the website still need to be reloaded, but for the most part it should reload more or less instantly.
It’s a pretty cool feature to have so if you’d like to check it out, make sure that you’re running the latest version and you should be set.
