    If only these people would suffer that would be alright - it was their mistake. But rich countries should not make poorer countries pay for the bad decisions of their own citizens.…

    The comment implies that this is somehow hardcoded just for Google sites, which is not true. Autoplay is allowed for sites with a high enough media engagement index. You can check …

    These are the same two cases that people have been mentioning for weeks, which have been reported in a chaotic period at the beginning of an outbreak. All other signs point to immu…

    This kind of marketing content is often provided by an agency. Hosting it on google.com where users are logged in would require extremely strict security reviews.

    Bosch just wants to have press releases that contain the word "blockchain". It doesn't make the technology any less broken.

    Indeed. The Gmail app itself has been able to act as an IMAP client before, but (as it's purely client side) this mode doesn't offer all Gmail features and is quite battery and ban…

    When you go through the sign up flow you can select whether you want to Gmailify your address into an existing or a new Google account. We make it very explicit that all your mails…
