• The problem isn’t the number of EV chargers, it’s where they are

  01-04-2022 16:22 via thenextweb.com
  
  We’re constantly hearing there’s a lack of EV charging infrastructure — especially if we are going to meet the demand for all-electric vehicles in the next few decades. But what if the problem isn’t just the number of EV chargers, but their location? I recently met with Rohan Puri, CEO, and co-founder of Stable Auto, a company that uses data science and location intelligence to determine the best site for EV chargers.

• Google launches Play Store’s new billing system — and devs are footing the bill

  01-04-2022 14:40 via thenextweb.com
  
  Google Play’s new billing payment system policy starts today. This change forces developers to use the company’s own payment system for in-app purchases. The update means that you can’t add links or sections in the app that redirect users to buy premium subscriptions from your site or alternative sources. In turn, you will have to pay a 15% or 30% fee (depending on your app’s category) to the search giant for facilitating these transactions. Google first announced this i

• How to change the default text formatting on Google Docs — and with it, your life

  01-04-2022 13:28 via thenextweb.com
  
  I have a problem. Not a big one, mind, but one all the same: I dislike the default formatting on Google Docs. “Excuse me?” I hear you scream. “Do you really care enough about fonts and line spacing and text size on a simple word processor to write a whole damn article about it?” And the answer to that, dear reader, is a resounding yes. I use Google Docs constantly. Seven days a week, 12 hours a day, your boy is thriving in that word processor, hopping from document to do

• Here’s a list of weird subreddits to ruin your day

  01-04-2022 13:09 via thenextweb.com
  
  My favorite thing about the internet is that everybody can find like-minded people. No matter how niche your hobby, or how obscure your kink, there’s a community out there for you. The logical consequence of that is that shit on the web gets real weird, real fast. I’m not judging – it is, in fact, my second favorite thing about the internet. The hub of a lot of the internet’s weirdness is, obviously, Reddit. Its sprawling ecosystem of subreddits is a beautiful reflection

  01-04-2022 10:18 via thenextweb.com
  
  By: Todd Feathers Driven to cyberspace by the pandemic, courts across the country purchased chatroom-like tools designed to help people resolve disagreements without the need for a full-on lawsuit, judge, or hearing.

• D-Wave’s cross-platform quantum computing services are a bridge to the future

  01-04-2022 00:46 via thenextweb.com
  
  While I’m convinced 2011 will ultimately go down in history as the year the groundbreaking motion picture “Cowboys & Aliens” was released, it bears mentioning that it was also the year in which the first commercial quantum computer officially went online. You can dispute whether Daniel Craig’s turn as an alien-fighting gold thief with amnesia is worthy of such high praise, but there’s no debating that D-Wave’s a bonafide pioneer in the world of quantum co
