Dealership Marks
This site named Markups.org is helping consumers get the best out of their dollar when purchasing a car. Unfortunately since now things are harder to buy, you want to make sure you get the best deal for your car. Now buying a car should not be difficult and until dealerships are more regulated, purchasing a car is going to be for now still a haggling game.

CompTIA certifications
If you are thinking of IT as a career here are some great certifications to build your skills. I would first start with CompTIA A+ and then move up from the direction.
Now note in the real world getting certified does not land you a specific pay grade, but it does let you stand out from the rest.

AWS EC2 vs Azure
Here are some pretty good comparisons if you are deciding to go to cloud and just note who currently has the best services. Now AWS has been at this for a while, but Azure is not that far behind.
Now before you pick your provider I would narrow down on the services you are looking for and then decide on who you would rather give your business to.
Not all cloud providers are the same, but they do give similar services.

FB Unfriended Finder
If you are still using Facebook and from time to time want a simple way to see who unfriended you, you can add this cool Chrome extension to narrow things out.
But don't take it personal, remember it's just Facebook.

Google Play to Hide OD Apps
It looks like Google Play Store just made a new security update by hiding outdated applications in it's play store for security. The company has been beefing up security for quite some time and this just puts them in a better position to force developers to update their software.
It's a positive move in the right direction and I hope developers fix their bugs quickly so they still can have a presence in their store.

Stolen or Lost iPhone problem
If you want to repair a stolen or lost iPhone and try to have it repaired at an Apple store, you may be out of luck. Apple is instructed authorized service providers to refuse the repair, so you might have to go elsewhere to fix the device. So beware of the consequences when buying used phones.

Android Lightning Port
Engineers are now trying to create a lightning Android device. If all goes well this can be the new generation in which electronic devices carry a universal charger for all.
It's great news to see the unity of devices to a common charging port. Let's hope this is the beginning of many more things to happen in the future.

Google Chrome just recently reached version 100 and I must admit the browser keeps on getting better and better. Let's hope that they can keep it going and continue their success on keeping everyone safe and connected when surfing online.

UPS eQuad Electric Bikes
UPS is testing some electric quad bikes for delivery service. The mini UPS truck makes it easier for drivers to navigate through streets, narrow alleys, and congested areas.
They are not that fast and hold small packages but it will make it easier for drivers to carry packages to their destinations where now their trucks cannot get through.

iPad Battery Pull tabs
It looks like Apple is now making the iPad easier to repair by putting in iPad battery pull tabs. Now if you had repaired old iPads the adhesive was stronger, now it will be easier to do that DYI users can do it themselves on this new version. This is a plus for Apple to encourage self-service repairs.

Kommoda e-bike
E-bikes are ruling the world and this is a very powerful bike similar to having a scooter. If you are in the market for an electric bike, this is an nice option. But bear in mind that getting an e-bike can be dangerous, and always weigh your options before purchasing one.

Apple 9 inch foldable
It looks like Apple is currently testing a 9 inch foldable iPhone but it's not any time soon expected. As per the article it looks like the company is putting it's priorities on large and medium devices before it goes to it's small devices.
I think this is a pretty foolish move while Android continues to gain market share. It's a move like this that could just could kill Apple all together.

Apple IT SMB Package
Apple has recently introduced a beta package for small businesses to manage their devices. The package helps push pre-configured packages to employees similar to Jamf.
It's beyond me what took them so long to offer these services to companies.
