Google to launch seamless self-sharing feature

Google
Google will now let you share files with yourself. You no longer need to email yourself.

Google has updated its Nearby Share feature and will now allow users to share files with their other devices, Chromium Gerrit noted. The Self Share feature will be integrated into Nearby Share and is to be launched soon.

Nearby Share allows users to instantly transfer files, music, videos, to other Android and Chrome OS devices.

Nearby Share works similarly to Apple's AirDrop feature. However, Self Share will focus on sending files across your own devices without cables, online services, or third-party software.

Dollar waits on CPI, yuan bounces back from policy knock

Image
 The dollar was largely unchanged in early European trade Friday ahead of the release of key U.S. inflation data, which could influence Federal Reserve monetary policy thinking into the new year. The euro , seen as vulnerable to a Federal Reserve hike especially if European rate rises lag, dropped 0.4% on Thursday and was steady in Asia at $1.1297. The dollar index , at 96.197, was drifting toward its seventh consecutive weekly rise ahead of the data, which is due at 1330 GMT. Annual price gains of 6.8% are expected and any upside surprise will likely be interpreted as a case for a faster Federal Reserve taper and sooner interest rate rises. Consumer confidence data is also due on Friday and if it holds up could portend even more price pressures ahead. Tom Porcelli said,"Inflation is going to accelerate." RBC Capital Markets' chief U.S. economist, who thinks the annual pace is going to pick up and keep rising to push near 7% early in the new year. He said, "As ...

"Today, I congratulate the people of Afghanistan for the launch of the first stage of COVID-19 vaccine [drive] with 500,000 doses of vaccines. This is a big opportunity for the people of Afghanistan," said Afghan President Ashraf Ghani as the first jabs were administered.

In a statement released via CSA on Thursday, De Kock, who also revealed he has mixed-race family, said he meant no disrespect and “would love nothing more than to play cricket for my country again”. “I understand the importance of standing against racism, and I also understand the responsibility of us as players to set an example,” De Kock said. “If me taking a knee helps to educate others, and makes the lives of others better, I am more than happy to do so. “I did not, in any way, mean to disrespect anyone.

Biden freezes giant UAE jet package, Saudi arms for review

Image
US President Joe Biden's administration has temporarily frozen for review a massive package of F-35 jets to the United Arab Emirates and arms to Saudi Arabia, officials said on Wednesday. The nearly week-old administration has already signalled it plans to end support for the Saudi-led, UAE-backed offensive in Yemen, which is facing a humanitarian catastrophe. A State Department spokesperson said the administration is “temporarily pausing the implementation” of a number of defence sales “to allow incoming leadership an opportunity to review”. “This is a routine administrative action typical to most any transition, and demonstrates the administration's commitment to transparency and good governance,” the spokesperson said. The move is also aimed at “ensuring US arms sales meet our strategic objectives of building stronger, interoperable and more capable security partners”. The most high-profile sale is a $23 billion package of top-of-the-line F-35 jets to the UAE. Former...
