The time has finally come. After multiple stays-of-execution, Microsoft is finally killing off Internet Explorer. The once-popular web browser has been around for a whopping 27-years. For many, it was the default browser on a Windows PC, before competitors like Firefox, Chrome, Opera, or Safari started luring users away. Starting on Wednesday, June 15, Windows users who try to open Internet Explorer will be out of luck. They will receive a message about the discontinuation of the application, along with directions to use Microsoft Edge — the company’s newest browser.

A shift in global consumption over the last few decades has meant a shift in the global supply chain. And as the calls for electric vehicles get stronger, the demand for lithium is growing as well. Lithium is the mineral that’s used in car batteries, as well as many electronics like computers and smartphones. Demand for lithium has been increasing amid a dwindling supply, with a lithium shortage expected by 2023. Lilac Solutions is trying to fix that. They’ve been attracting investment from large companies like BMW to develop their new lithium production technology. They claim that with...…A shift in global consumption over the last few decades has meant a shift in the global supply chain.

Another change is coming into effect for two of the world’s largest social media platforms – Facebook and Instagram. This time though, it will primarily affect advertisers. The social network announced that users who have not linked their Facebook and Instagram in the Accounts Center will be counted as two separate entities for ad purposes. So, if your accounts are not linked, the social network will assume that one user’s Instagram and Facebook profiles (even if they’re under the same email address) are actually two different users. Facebook introduced Accounts Center in September 2020,...…Another change is coming into effect for two of the world’s largest social media platforms – Facebook and Instagram.

General Motors announced its new assisted driving technology earlier this month at their investor event. This second-generation advanced driver-assist system (ADAS), called Ultra Cruise, builds on the company’s first system, Super Cruise.

If you use Snapchat, you’ll know how entertaining it can be to set different filters on selfies and text emojis to your friends. It is so easy to spend countless hours scrolling through Snapchat, looking at people’s stories, and adding your own content. But Snapchat is upping its social media status by branching out into something entirely different; the world of “augmented reality” or AR. Like other powerful search engines such as Google and Yahoo!, Snapchat wants to become the go-to search option for finding answers for everyday things. So how exactly does this new feature work?
