Apple just confirmed once and for all that AirPower will never come out
Apple reportedly never managed to solve a thermal problem.
AirPower was introduced alongside the iPhone X and Apple Watch Series 3 in the company's first event at the Steve Jobs Theater, in September of 2017. Apple said it would be a wireless charging mat that could simultaneously charge your iPhone, your Apple Watch, and your AirPods, regardless of where you placed them on the mat. At the time, AirPods could not be wirelessly charged, but Apple just released a version of the AirPods' charging case that supports the feature.

Google has discontinued the Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL, the company's flagship smartphones from last year. As first spotted by Android Police, the Pixel 2 has been scrubbed from the Google Store page, and the old Pixel 2 URL now redirects to the Pixel 3 page.

Surface Book 2 lineup refreshed with new mid-range option
Bottom spec dual-core drops in price to make room for the new version.
At launch, the Surface Book 2 could be equipped with either a 7th generation dual-core i7-7300U processor with two cores and four threads or an 8th generation i7-8650U with four cores and eight threads, with prices starting at $1,499 for the 7th generation part. That dual-core system now starts at $1,149 (with 8GB RAM and 128GB storage), with the $1,499 slot taken by a new i5-8350U model. This too is a four core/eight thread chip, with clock speeds of 1.7-3.6GHz and 6MB cache, in contrast to the 1.9-4.2GHz and 8MB cache of the top-end i7.

@JaredBusch Wish they wouldn't do the waitlist so much, while understanding why they'd want to control the ramp up process.

https://www.fwupd.org/If you either read really fast, or go look at the boot log, one of the first things you'll see is "Applying firmware updates". I guess getting the word out is good, but it's not really news. Maybe this is the new UEFI mode?

UEFI mode looks a look different on my OptiPlex 3050 after installing Fedora compared to my older machines that is also in UEFI mode.

Google and Walmart team up to let users buy groceries with voice commands
Amazon's Alexa has a new competitor in the voice-controlled shopping space.
In its latest attempts to battle Amazon, Walmart teamed up with another tech giant to introduce a new way for its customers to buy groceries. According to a blog post by Walmart's senior vice president of digital operations Tom Ward, Walmart will now let those with Google Assistant devices buy groceries just by using their voices. Dubbed Walmart Voice Order, the feature will roll out over the next few weeks to those with Google Home devices along with other Google Assistant-enabled devices including Android smartphones and iPhones.
