The Mustang maker said it signed an agreement with US chip-making contractor GlobalFoundries to help create more semiconductors for Ford’s lineup of vehicles and the broader US auto industry. Earlier this month, Ford reported new vehicle sales dropped 27% in the quarter compared to last year with production being slowed due to missing semiconductor components. SEE: Hunker down: The chip shortage and higher prices are set to linger for a while Foundries, or contract semiconductor manufacturers, left the auto industry short of chips after the pandemic changed expected demand for vehicles....

Unfortunately, about 3 million students do not have access to the internet at home due to high costs and gaps in availability. That leaves a large number of students without ways to further their education. School districts and some of the best internet providers are coming together to help connect students to their virtual classrooms. During this crisis, internet providers are doing something unprecedented – offering free or discounted internet options for students and low-income households....

Garmin offers various satellite communication devices for your off-the-grid adventure, and the newest addition is the Garmin inReach Mini 2. The inReach Mini 2 is an ultra-compact satellite communicator, available now for $399.99. We used it over the past couple of months to share our location and text family members while out of range of cellular towers during mountain hikes and river fishing. Thankfully, we did not have to make contact for an emergency situation, but it was great to know we had a capable device in hand in case of an unfortunate incident....

The Garmin Vivomove Sport doesn’t have a 30-day battery life, but charging it once a week is fine with me. It’s a rather small watch with a diameter of 40 mm, and there are no buttons to press. People with smaller wrists and those who like light watches will love the Vivomove Sport. It’s also quite affordable at just $179.99. Surprisingly, the small touchscreen OLED display is more useful and capable than I anticipated, and it is essential to supporting the Garmin ecosystem....

Two big reasons for the Great Resignation are that workers want higher pay and to continue working remotely. Travel has almost returned to normal, and with inexpensive training available even to novices for well-paid tech careers like programming and data analysis, many people are addressing those issues and starting to work abroad. Don’t let the fear of language issues hold you back if this sounds appealing. New US users can get a lifetime subscription to Babbel Language Learning, including all 14 of its languages, for $199 or 60% off....

From then on, Google will push users who have selected the “Chat and classic Hangouts” to “Chat preferred,” unless the user or admin explicitly opts out. It’s a big shift in Google’s unwieldy messaging app strategy that spans Hangouts, Meet and Chat, as well as Allo and Duo. The new Chat messaging app is available in Gmail and as a standalone app in iOS and Android. SEE: Managing and troubleshooting Android devices checklist (TechRepublic Premium) In October, Google said that it would start migrating everyone from Hangouts to Chat in the first half of 2021, and would automatically migrate Hangouts conversations, contacts and saved history....

Here, then, is what happened. I happened upon the tale of Google telling a European court something it thought was embarrassing. Embarrassing for Microsoft, that is. Google’s lawyer, Alfonso Lamadrid told the court: “We have submitted evidence showing that the most common search query on Bing is, by far, ‘Google,’” He added: “People use Google because they choose to, not because they are forced to.” “Oh, ho, ho,” I snorted to myself....

The client-side encryption (CSE) feature is now generally available for Google Workspace Enterprise Plus, Education Plus, and Education Standard customers following the beta launch in December. Also: Google brings client-side encryption to Gmail for Workspace CSE is similar to end-to-end encryption (E2EE), but differs in that encryption keys are generated and stored in a cloud-based key management service that can be managed by admins, who need to select a non-Google key management service....

Before the app is renamed, Google will add the current Google Meet features to Duo. That means Duo users will be able to schedule meetings ahead of time, customize virtual backgrounds, use in-meeting chat, and get real-time closed captions, among other things. However, Duo users can also rest assured that the existing calling features aren’t going anywhere, including the ability to start a video call using a phone number or email address....

Previously, besides the obvious bigger screen and bigger battery that came with a larger device, the standard Pixel and its XL variant were fundamentally the same phone, just sized differently. With the 6 series, the new Pro option has a couple of additions – it can handle millimetre wave 5G, has an additional 48-megapixel telephoto lens with 4x optical zoom, and packs more memory and storage. If any of those things are must-haves, or you simply want the biggest Google phone on offer, then the 6 Pro is your best bet....

One product that always gets a lot of stage time at I/O is Android. Google released the first developer preview exactly one month ago, with the promise of a second developer preview in March. And today, Google is delivering on that promise. The second developer preview of Android 14 is rolling out now. Also: 3 things Google needs to fix for Android to catch up to iOS According to Google, one of the new changes developers we’ll see in the new preview is the option for Android users to only grant an app access to specific photos in their gallery or photos app, instead of an all-or-nothing approach....

When I say “Google,” what’s the first thing that comes to mind? For me, it’s “Pixel 6” because Google promised it would market it until everyone loved it. And I like love. For many, however, the first words may be “court case,” “lawsuit,” “monopoly,” and “employee unrest.” Yet I’ve recently been associated with the notion that Google is changing its attitude and becoming far more human-friendly. At CES, the company announced something that appeared to resemble an attempt to integrate its wares with all sorts of other wares....

But your iPhone collects a lot more information about your battery. A lot more. But Apple doesn’t make it easy for you to access this information. It’s buried. It’s buried deep. To find this information you have to go to Settings > Privacy, then scroll to the bottom and tap on Analytics & Improvements. Then you need to click on Analytics Data. This setting only exists if you have Share iPhone Analytics (or Share iPhone & Watch Analytics) enabled....
