The Chicago White Sox announced Monday they had canceled their planned postgame 4th of July fireworks in light of the mass shooting in the Chicago suburb of Highland Park.

You’re sitting in your office and decide to find out when your next appointment is. You pick up your phone and murmur quietly, “OK Google, when’s my next appointment?” And then, loud enough to be heard over the entire room, your Google Assistant announces, “Next up, you have an appointment with your urologist on September 3rd at 9AM.” You don’t have to hide under your desk anymore.

CLEVELAND — So much for Baker Mayfield putting the team first. So much for the opportunity to praise running back Nick Chubb for saving a season that was minutes from going down in flames. So much for emphasizing that everything the Browns want to achieve is still within reach. By dodging his media responsibilities and declining comment after Sunday’s 13-10 victory over the Detroit Lions at FirstEnergy Stadium, Mayfield let his ego take over.

Enlarge / Let’s see, you landed on my “Google Ads” space, and with three houses, that’ll be $1,400. Ron Amadeo / Hasbro Back in 2018, Google and Epic Games kicked off a years-old spat over Fortnite on the Play Store. Instead of distributing the game through Google Play, Epic decided that sideloading would be the way to get Fortnite on Android, thereby sidestepping Google’s 30 percent cut of sales.

Google shared a glimpse of its AppTrackingTransparency plan on Wednesday, but offered few details about exactly how it’s readying itself for Apple’s IDFA changes.
