    European Commission says member states need to double down on 5G rollout by Paul Hill The European Commission has stated that member states are advancing in their digitalization, but there are still gaps that need filling. One of the gaps is deployment of 5G infrastructure. It’s important that this piece of technology, in particular, is fully deployed because many innovative services and applications rely on it. Other gaps include a lack of digital skills, and low adoption of “key digital technologies” like AI and Big Data. Speaking about the findings of the Digital Economy and Society Index (DESI) 2022 report, Executive Vice-President for Europe Fit for the Digital…

In a blog post, Valve explains that it already provides dedicated spaces in store pages for developers to provide additional information like review scores and quotes to share with players.

    Here is how you can upgrade to Windows 10 22H2 right now by Taras Buria It appears that Microsoft is getting ready to release Windows 10 22H2 soon. A new update, now available for manual download, switches Windows 10 21H2 (build number 19044.1862) to Windows 10 22H2 with build number 19045.1862. Although Microsoft is yet to announce the release (either in the Windows Insider program or straight in the stable channel), you can download the enablement package directly from Windows Update servers. All it takes to upgrade from Windows 10 21H2 to 22H2 is KB5015684, a tiny cumulative update weighing just 177KB. Like the previous "major" Windows 10 updates, 22H2 does not a…

    Google will soon make it easier to set Chrome as the default browser in Windows by Taras Buria Google is working on an easier way to set Chrome as the default browser in modern Windows versions. As spotted by Leopeva64-2 on Reddit, a commit on Chromium Gerrit describes a new control that will let Chrome users set the browser as the default one with a single click. The current version of Chrome allows changing the default browser within its settings, but the implementation requires switching to the Windows Settings app. On the other hand, Firefox has a much more convenient single-click solution Mozilla introduced in 2021.

    Instagram announces survey to study race and ethnicity in order to remain fair and inclusive by Fiza Ali Through social media platforms, marginalized communities get the opportunity to expand their social networks. However, with these platforms acting as echo chambers often reinforcing both positive and negative opinions, the existence of issues stemming from marginalization becomes as common in digital spaces as it is in non-digital ones. This suggests social media is possibly more toxic for those holding marginalized identities. Because of the fact that marginalized communities use social media differently, they experience it differently as well. Now, social pla…
