  Privacy and online safety go hand in hand. And when you’re using the internet, it’s important to have control over how your sensitive, personally identifiable information can be found. On Google Search, we already have a set of policies that allow people to request the removal of certain content from Search, with a focus on highly personal content that, if public, can cause direct harm to people. But the internet is always evolving – with information popping up in unexpected places and being used in new ways — so our policies and protections need to evolve, too. Open access to information is a key goal of Search, but so is empowering people with the tools they need to protect themselves and keep their sensitive, personally identifiable information private. That’s why we’re updating our policies to help people take more control of their online presence in Search. Request the removal of personally identifiable information that appears in Google Search For many years, people have been

He shares 5 ways he's earned money with little cash down and the pros and cons of each. Charlie Chang was rejected from medical school, so he had to find another way to generate income. The biggest mistake he made was trying to create a clothing brand from the ground up. There are easier ways to earn extra cash online, and each one has a different level of difficulty. Charlie Chang, 29, has averaged about $218,000 a month in income over the past three months from online side hustles, according to records viewed by Insider. But where he is today wasn't where he thought he'd be. Between 2010 to 2014, he was getting on a premed track at the University of California, Los Angeles, majoring in psychobiology and on track to go to medical school. "My parents really wanted me to become a doctor, and I was always good at science and math," Chang said. "So I thought that's like the perfect career for me and it pays well. "I just went into it, even though I alwa

According to a German tech site, the WH-1000XM5 will have longer battery life than the WH-1000XM4 Sony’s WH-1000XM4 noise-canceling headphones have been one of the best options since they debuted in 2020, but it appears the company is gearing up to release the next generation. German tech news site TechnikNews has published some images and specs of the successor, seemingly called the WH-1000XM5 (via Gizmodo). The first thing you might notice is a sleek new design, particularly a thinner headband. The 1000XM3s and 1000XM4s were almost identical, but Sony could change the way things look for the new 1000XM5s. Instead of a shrouded arm that swivels, the arm is exposed, with a single contact point replacing the XM4’s larger folding hinge over the ear cups. That changes the design of the ear cups as well but suggests just a bit more of their space is available for the stuff that affects what you hear. That arm looks slimmer than the previous design and could contribute to a lighter weight t

  Netflix posted a big earnings miss yesterday as it reported that it lost 200,000 subscribers in the January to March quarterly window, the opposite of the constant growth it wants to see. That was actually more pronounced in the US and Canada where it lost 640,000 subscribers in the quarter, offset by gains in the Asia Pacific market. Wall Street analysts can parse their own reasons for these losses, but if you’ve used the service and its competitors recently, you’ll know that the answer is pretty clear. Netflix is Too Expensive Like a frog boiling in water, Netflix has been constantly increasing its prices over the years to the point where its “premium” subscription, which offers four screens of play, a must for many families, and 4K content, is $20 a month. That’s higher than any of its rivals by a significant margin. Such as: Disney Plus - $8 a month Apple TV+ - $5 a month Hulu (No Ads) - $13 a month HBO Max (No Ads) - $15 a month Amazon Prime Video - $9 a month Paramount Plus (No

  Elon Musk may be a strong proponent of all things tech. But he’s far from positive on its implications for the jobs market. In fact, the Tesla CEO says one of tech’s great developments — artificial intelligence — could spell the end of many jobs altogether. “AI will make jobs kind of pointless,”  Musk said Thursday, speaking alongside Alibaba’s founder Jack Ma at the World Artificial Intelligence Conference in Shanghai. Least vulnerable to that job disruption will be individuals who can program AI software, Musk noted, recommending young people go on to study engineering. But, even then, he said,  “eventually the AI will just write its own software.” Musk’s comments come amid increasing debate over the impact of technology on the global workforce. The World Economic Forum has predicted that 75 million jobs will be displaced by 2022. It was not all doom and gloom, however. Musk said that businesses focusing on human interaction would continue to thrive, even in a fast-evolving jobs la

 Now 90 years young, the Oracle of Omaha is still impressing with important life lessons. Ever read something Warren Buffett said or did and mumble to yourself, "Why didn't I think of that?" Outside of Buffett's mastery of investing, his down-to-earth wisdom is not only legendary but we all nod in agreement with the simple and yet profound effect it has on our lives. Take, for example, the advice below. Common sense, yes. But to many of us, it's not common practice. That is, until we become believers that the principles actually work. All you need to do is act on them with positive intent. 1. Pick your friends wisely. Buffett has taught so many lessons appealing to our common sense. One of them was recently highlighted in Bill Gates's memorable 90th-birthday message to his close friend: "Of all the things I've learned from Warren," said Gates, "the most important thing might be what friendship is all about. As Warren himself put it a few yea

  Meta Platforms Inc (FB.O) is readying plans to introduce virtual tokens and cryptocurrencies to its family of apps with an aim to use such virtual tokens for rewarding creators and lending and other financial services, the Financial Times reported on Wednesday. The move, which is reported to be in its early stages, comes as Meta grows its focus on services centered around the metaverse, a virtual environment where people interact, work and play. If implemented, it could also give Meta a new revenue channel and control over transactions in its suite of apps and services, which include Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp and the Meta Quest virtual reality platform. Meta's cryptocurrencies, internally dubbed "Zuck Bucks", are intended for the metaverse and may not be based on blockchain, the FT report said, citing people familiar with the matter. Meta could introduce in-app tokens that would be centrally controlled by the company, the report said, and such tokens could be used t

In an effort to make web privacy easier and more intuitive, Google is rolling out a new “Privacy Guide” for Chrome. This feature, which will slowly roll out to Chrome version M100 users, lets you quickly review all of your privacy and security controls (and learn how they work) without a bunch of scrolling. Privacy guide is just the latest step in simplifying Chrome’s privacy settings. In recent years, Google has reorganized Chrome’s settings to make privacy more intuitive and give you quick access to common controls, like clearing your browser history or cookies. To access Privacy Guide, simply click the three-dot menu in the top right corner of Chrome and select “Settings.” Then, navigate to the “Privacy and Security” tab. You should see the Privacy Guide option under “Clear Browsing Data.” Notably, Privacy Guide ends with two outgoing links. The first lets you try Privacy Sandbox, which is Google’s much-maligned and severely delayed alternative to cookies. And the second link, which
