  13-09-2021 18:05 via thenextweb.com
  
  Over the last five years, the UK has rapidly ramped up its efforts towards electric vehicle (EV) adoption with a boost to EV charging infrastructure. But there are those in the media who are already peddling fear.  Yesterday, the Daily Mail reported that from May, every new EV charger will be preset to turn off for nine hours a day, automatically set to not function at ‘peak times’ to ease the pressure on the national grid. They also mentioned a ‘randomized delay’ o

• Apple! Replace the ‘Touch Bar’ with ‘Touch Keys’ and thank me later

  13-09-2021 13:01 via thenextweb.com
  
  At some point soon, Apple will ditch the MacBook Pro’s Touch Bar. But I have a simple request: rather than dispensing of it entirely, Apple should instead replace it with something I’ve brilliantly named ‘Touch Keys.’ Before we get there though, let’s have a little natter about the Touch Bar itself.

  13-09-2021 12:53 via thenextweb.com
  
  We all have friends who insist on sending you voice notes on WhatsApp all the time. My colleague Thomas, who hates that behavior, loves the fast playback option. But what if I don’t want to listen to them at all? I could be in a meeting or out in a cafe where it might be difficult to listen to those. Or I might be in a mood to listen to no human voices (unless it’s Alex Turner). WhatsApp might be building a new transcribe feature for such situations. WABetaInfo has found out that th

• Epic scores a tiny win against Apple in court — but it’s not done fighting yet

  13-09-2021 09:00 via thenextweb.com
  
  Epic Games filed an appeal over the weekend against the recent court judgment on its case against Apple, over its App Store monopoly. The company only scored a minor win when the court asked Apple to allow alternative methods of payments for in-app purchases in the App Store. This will enable Epic to charge customers for in-game items in the multiplayer hit title Fortnite without paying a 30% cut to Apple, and enable other companies to bypass that cut for services they provide users via their a
