Stay Connected Anywhere: Threads Announces Upcoming Desktop Release

Threads, the Twitter clone version created by Meta from Instagram, continues to work on expanding its horizons. As part of their efforts, their new goal is to develop a desktop version of Threads. With a significant number of users already gained in its first month, the focus is now on retaining them by providing a more cross-platform experience.

Threads app was launched last June at a delicate moment for Twitter, whose business model, led by Elon Musk, has been unpredictable with decisions like a radical rebranding of Twitter or limiting certain features, such as Direct Messages, to paid users only.

Competing on computers against Twitter

Threads was clear about starting the competition against Twitter through mobile apps, which, after the significant digital transformation they have undergone in society, aggregate the vast majority of digital traffic in the world. This phenomenon is even more evident in the case of social media platforms. However, as Adam Mosseri admitted in Threads, the web version is already in the works.

On the other hand, it seems that the Threads app for iPhone on Mac encountered certain stability issues and has been disabled. According to Threads developers, they have encountered some problems and errors in the Apple ecosystem, which means the development of this service will take a bit more time, particularly for Mac computers. If they don’t fix it soon, they will have to settle for the desktop version when it becomes available.

The arrival of Threads in Europe has yet to be formalized

Threads still not available in Europe

Threads has certainly been making waves as it poses one of the biggest challenges to Twitter since its inception. However, it is not yet officially available in the European Union due to privacy regulations that need to be adapted to comply with local laws. This is why Threads is not widely discussed in Spain and other EU countries.

Despite its official unavailability, some users may try to download the app through unofficial means. However, unless you can bypass all of Meta’s controls, it is likely that you won’t be able to actively use Threads until the app’s situation in Europe is properly regulated and compliant with privacy laws.

Samsung Explores the Future of Web Browsing with ChatGPT Integration

ChatGPT continues to be on the minds of many companies. Despite initial indications of the AI trend deflating, companies like Samsung are planning to integrate them into their smartphones. Evidence of this can be seen in part of the code of Samsung’s native web browser that remains within the app.

Samsung is a company that, within the Android ecosystem, has a layer of customization filled with nuances compared to stock Android, with many proprietary functionalities and applications. One of these is Samsung Web Browser, Samsung’s native search engine, in which traces of code directly mentioning ChatGPT have been discovered in its latest update.

ChatGPT DOWNLOAD

Part of this code is reproduced below:

<string name="pref_chatgpt_enable">Enable ChatGpt</string>
<string name="pref_chatgpt_lab_title">Test ChatGPT</string>
<string name="pref_chatgpt_model">ChatGpt Model</string>
<string name="pref_chatgpt_query">Query For Summarizing</string>
<string name="pref_chatgpt_query_other_message">Enter chatGPT query to test</string>
<string name="pref_chatgpt_title">ChatGpt Settings</string>

Samsung testing with ChatGPT

This code, which is freely accessible, reflects that Samsung has been conducting tests in its latest update to integrate one system into another. However, there has been no official comment, so we cannot know for certain if they will make this addition permanently.

On the other hand, it is worth mentioning that, unofficially, ChatGPT can be integrated into their browser, but it is always safer for interested individuals if this functionality is 100% official and supported by the company. However, there are currently no further details available.

For now, as we mentioned, this functionality does not officially exist, and it has not been announced either, although it is evident that the presence of the code implies that they are working on it. We will have to wait and see what decisions Samsung makes and whether they ultimately implement ChatGPT.

The possible arrival of ChatGPT in Samsung’s search engine has created a lot of buzz.

New challenges in the mobile market

Samsung is not solely focused on implementing Artificial Intelligence, far from it. The company is constantly expanding its horizons in various areas to maintain its dominant position in smartphones. This includes the introduction of new smart accessories, regular security patches for their wide range of phones in the market, and, of course, the arrival of new models in important lineups like the Galaxy Z, as they themselves explain through social media.

ChatGPT DOWNLOAD

Apart from their ongoing projects, Samsung will also have to deal with new regulations aimed at protecting consumer interests. Just as Apple is required to use USB Type-C starting this year due to European Union regulations, starting in 2027, it will be mandatory for phones and portable consoles to have removable batteries.

Google Sets the Stage for Blockchain App Regulation on Android

Blockchain technology will soon find its place within the Google Play Store, but it will do so under strict regulation and thorough verification processes to ensure user well-being. Google is preparing itself diligently for this.

Yes, some may argue that this comes late, that the bubble already burst in 2022, but where there is demand, there is also supply, even if on a smaller scale. That’s why Google, aware of the risks associated with Blockchain technology, such as scams, gambling addiction, or other issues, will regulate them under stringent rules.

Google’s rules for the Blockchain on Android

Google has taken the initiative to publish many of the requirements for entering the Blockchain market in advance. Among other things, it advises requesting verification well in advance, as the acceptance process can take up to a month for both developers and clients. The service will be fully operational starting from December 7, 2023.

Some of the most important rules mentioned include:

  • Compliance with the regulations associated with this service in each region is mandatory. Therefore, even if the regulations in the US are met, operations in Spain must also comply with the country’s and European Union’s regulations.
  • Services and functionalities must be clearly detailed. App promotion and gambling incentives will not be allowed to avoid false expectations.
  • Developers will have strict control measures to prevent deception, scams, and fraud in their services.
  • Mining will remain prohibited.


If you want more details, Google provides them in this video.

Full details on Google’s policies with Blockchain technology are detailed here.

Rise and fall of the crypto bubble

The world of cryptocurrencies, Blockchain, and NFTs has been around for a long time, and over the years, its perception has evolved significantly. A decade ago, it was seen as something more associated with the “anti-establishment” movement against traditional banking. However, in recent years, it has shifted towards a showcase of wild capitalist tendencies. In fact, many would prefer not to remember what an NFT is, especially those who suffered financial losses from it.

After an intense 2021, this technology started to deflate in mid-2022, and in 2023, it has become niche content for a specific type of user. Social media platforms like Instagram and Facebook are already moving away from NFTs. Will the Blockchain market adapt to the current paradigm? We will soon see how this sector evolves: whether it remains in a secure niche or if its downfall has yet to hit rock bottom.

Android 14 Beta 4 Unveils Exciting New Features: Here’s What to Expect

Android 14 is getting closer to being available for all users, and its Beta versions give us a glimpse of exciting details. The Android 14 Beta 4 comes packed with new features. Although there is no clear date yet, the final version is expected to arrive by late summer or early autumn 2023, generating a lot of anticipation.

It is well known to any Android user that Google is constantly implementing changes and improvements in operating systems with multiple goals: optimizing resources, enhancing the user experience, and adding new useful functions. Once again, Android 14 is following that path.

What Android 14 brings us in its Beta 4

First and foremost, it’s important to mention that these Android 14 beta versions are currently only available within the Pixel family, which means that only Google device owners will be able to enjoy it natively for now. However, Google doesn’t just focus on enhancing their Pixel devices; they also work for the benefit of the entire Android ecosystem.

Furthermore, as is well-known, beta phases also come with their risks since they are not final versions and may contain errors or bugs that could cause crashes or issues on our devices, as reported by users of the beta version.

Regarding the new features presented in Android 14, the following functionalities stand out:

  • New default images as profile avatars.
  • Option for automatic unlock (without pressing “OK”) after entering the correct PIN.
  • Manufacturing year information in phone details.
  • A new “silent mode” icon for the notification bar.
  • Accessible “split-screen” icon on tablets.
  • Redesigned widget selector.
Android 14 will soon be available to all users

The new Android 14 icon mini-game

Upside Down Cake is the sweet name given to the Android 14 dessert. However, the accompanying mini-game will have a more… space-oriented approach, in line with its icon. In fact, the Android 14 icon itself gives us a certain Starfield vibe, with a presumed launch date that may coincide. In the mini-game, players will control a spaceship to explore outer space.

Android 14 is set to be the next dominant operating system in the Android market. Following the positive reception of Android 13 overall, it will be interesting to see how this new version performs when it is released natively on all mobile devices in the market, including smartphones and tablets.

Claude 2 by Anthropic: A Game-Changer in AI with Enhanced Functionality

2023 is shaping up to be the year of Artificial Intelligence in the world of technology. Several companies are currently making significant advancements in this field. One of them is Anthropic, which has just launched the Claude 2 system, packed with improvements compared to its previous version.

While Anthropic may not be as widely known as Open AI or Google in AI research, they are still highly relevant. Claude is their operational AI and has impressive capabilities to process not only dialogue and internet information but also texts and documents provided to it. And now, Claude 2, their enhanced version, is available in Beta phase.

Highlights of Anthropic’s Claude 2

Within Claude 2, significant advancements can be found in text and document processing. This new version allows for the simultaneous analysis of up to five documents and is capable of processing texts with up to 100,000 tokens, a considerable figure that gives it substantial AI muscle.

Claude 2 also boasts improvements in performance and response time, enabling it to work at a faster pace. It also significantly enhances its reasoning abilities and is capable of providing longer and more detailed responses. The only drawback is that it is currently in the Beta phase and available only to users in the United States and the United Kingdom.

Conversational AI is becoming increasingly intelligent and advanced.

Artificial Intelligence in more businesses

Within the Artificial Intelligence industry, we also find more developments, such as the inclusion of GPT-4 in ChatGPT for premium subscribers. Additionally, there is the imminent arrival of Bard in the European Union once they adapt their service to comply with the privacy policies of our region.

ChatGPT DOWNLOAD

Indeed, all these technological advancements are fascinating. However, the legislative frameworks progress much more slowly than these technologies and continue to raise controversies regarding the potentially harmful uses they may entail. We are also witnessing a decrease in usage in tools like ChatGPT, which could lead to a scenario where the bubble around AI bursts in the face of a hypothetical popularity collapse.

Windows 11 Embraces Evolution: Original Versions No Longer Upgradable

It’s the endless cycle. You’re born, you grow, you reproduce, and you die. Every life has a purpose, and the original version of Windows 11 has fulfilled its purpose. For that reason, Microsoft has announced that users of Windows 11 from 2021 will no longer receive security updates starting from October 10th.

Windows 11 21H2, the first version that kicked off a new generation of interfaces and usability, will no longer receive security patches this fall. Therefore, as reflected in Microsoft’s blog, the company recommends that we update to the latest operational version possible to ensure our PC is not vulnerable to new threats. Whether you are a Home user or any of the Pro variants, the update will be inevitable.

Windows 11 DOWNLOAD

The past and future of Windows 11

Windows 11 had a controversial start when it entered users’ lives. While many were not entirely satisfied, there was the option to revert back to Windows 10. But sooner or later, reluctant users will have to make the leap because we know that the 22H2 version of Windows 10 will also end support on October 14, 2025.

This still gives a few years of leeway, especially to users of older PCs that do not support Windows 11. Over these two years, both skeptical users and those in need of new hardware will have to consider abandoning Windows 10 before security patches stop being updated. This is how it happened with Windows 8, Windows 7, Windows Vista, or the legendary Windows XP.

It’s been a long time since Windows XP was the primary computer system

On the other hand, even though Windows 11 has been with us for less than two years, there are people who are already imagining what Windows 12 and its interface will be like. After all, each person is unique, and while some prefer the nostalgia of more classic operating systems, others fantasize about the revolutionary innovations that could be in store for the future.

In the meantime, the focus in the present is on continuing to improve user feedback, which has significantly improved since its launch in 2021, as reflected in details such as the number of Steam users. On the other hand, they are also working towards the release of Windows 11 23H2 in the coming months, further enhancing the operating system.

Evernote Restructures Operations: U.S. Layoffs Signal European Expansion Strategy

The situation at Evernote is going through turbulent times. After the news of 129 layoffs in February, it has now been revealed that Evernote will be letting go of nearly all its teams in the United States and Chile to focus its operations in Europe.

This development isn’t surprising considering the recent acquisition of Evernote by the Italian tech company Bending Spoons. With a strong determination to prioritize the European market, Bending Spoons has made the decision to part ways with a majority of the employees in the U.S. and Chile, while assembling a smaller team in Europe. The main reason behind this move is the financial sustainability of Evernote.

Evernote DOWNLOAD

Evernote’s bumpy road

Evernote has been a highly popular application in the last decade. During a time when content synchronization was still in its infancy, this application stood out. The ability to create notes that were accessible across multiple devices was a significant advancement, and although they were not the pioneers, they set a benchmark for the improvement of digital services.

However, we cannot rest on past success indefinitely. Evernote started to struggle against fierce competition and gradually lost a significant market share. Nowadays, there are numerous ways to enhance productivity, and the landscape has evolved significantly.

The market for productivity applications and services is highly competitive

Furthermore, controversial actions such as increasing their business pricing and past concerns about privacy placed the company in a challenging position. This led Evernote to be open to new buyers who could bring about a change in its business model.

Last November, the tech company Bending Spoons took over Evernote, resulting in the layoff of a significant number of employees in America. The plan is to establish a European office dedicated to Evernote’s services.

Today, Evernote faces fierce competition in a similar space, with rivals like Notion, Trello, Asana, and many others. They will need to work hard to regain their status as a leading application for productivity management and note synchronization.

Stay Organized and Efficient: Google Calendar Enables Office and Home Scheduling

Google Calendar is one of those applications that is part of the productivity ecosystem for many people. Whether it’s scheduling meetings, marking events, or reminding about appointments, it is a fundamental application for the day-to-day of many workers. That’s why Google continues to advance in features, and now you will be able to specify your office or remote work hours within the same workday.

To access this interesting functionality, however, it is necessary to be a user of a business or student account within Google, so standard users will not have it available. For those who do have access, here’s how it works, as we explain below.

Google Calendar DOWNLOAD

How to mark in Google Calendar whether you are in the office or at home

As we mentioned before, accessing this feature will be quite simple if we have the appropriate account type. First of all, we need to open our Google Calendar and click on “Create”. From there, we will have complete freedom to set our office and remote work hours for each day. This way, we will have a very useful breakdown.

This functionality is quite effective and necessary, as the current trend in the labor market in recent years is moving towards remote work, whether in hybrid positions or 100% remote. Often, even the same workdays are divided between these two work settings. These are the new times we live in!

Google always strives to improve the user experience. That’s why they constantly introduce new services and features, both in their workspace-focused applications and in their search engine. The American company puts a lot of effort into these departments.

Now you can mark your office and teleworking hours in the same day with Google Calendar

Which Google accounts are supported

Unfortunately, standard Google users do not have access to this feature. Therefore, the use of this functionality is specifically intended for the professional or educational sphere. However, considering its purpose, this limitation is understandable and reasonable.

Now let’s talk about the eligible accounts. The individuals who have access to this service are those with one of the following subscriptions:

  • Enterprise
  • Business Plus
  • Nonprofit organizations
  • Education Fundamentals
  • Education Standard
  • Teaching and Learning Upgrade
  • Education Plus
Google is constantly working in all its R&D departments to improve its services

Absolutely! There are indeed other options available to all Google users, such as the ability to clean up spam from our Google Calendar. As technology enthusiasts, we will continue to bring you the latest updates so you can make the most of your time management tools. Stay tuned for the upcoming Google news!
