How it works: Simply click the little calendar icon (next to the various additional twitter icons at the bottom left of the posting field), write your tweet, then choose a day, date, and time zone to post it in. Click the Confirm button, then the Schedule button (where the regular Send button usually is) and it will wait until scheduled to send. How it helps: While the feature may ostensibly be for people and companies to set up a social media strategy and avoid third-party solutions like TweetDeck, Buffer, or Hootsuite, scheduling tweets could actually help us all take a breather between an angry retort and actually sending it....

As a result, when DTS is decoded, it usually provides a better listening experience, according to some listeners....

Prosser’s sources claim we could see pre-orders for the Apple Watch Series 7 open next week, with shipping beginning as soon as mid-October....

Pandemic: Twitch allows for a game streamer to film themselves from home playing video games. The service is incredibly popular, and some streamers make a living from doing so. This kind of entertainment is relatively inexpensive to produce, and any reality-style shows could take advantage of the at-home process. It’s also something that can be created right now, while some more traditional, studio-based content cannot be. Plans: Bloomberg says that Twitch plans to spend between $50,000 to $250,000 per week on unscripted series, which could include four to ten hours of content....

The company has just announced the Phoenix line of solar-powered wireless earbuds, which is something of a first for the entire industry. These are technically the world’s first solar-powered earbuds, but with a slight caveat.

Instead, only the group chat’s administrators will see when you leave.
