Spotify's Car Thing is now a proper consumer device - TechSpot

Recap: Spotify in 2019 announced it was testing a voice-controlled smart player for vehicles. Dubbed Car Thing, the gadget was developed to learn more about the listening habits of people during commutes. Spotify initially set out to trial Car Thing with a small group of Premium members, but eventually made it available to a wider audience on an invite-only basis. Now, it’s launching as a full-on consumer product.

Car Thing makes it easier for listeners to play music and podcasts in their vehicles, especially if said vehicle is an older model lacking an advanced stereo head unit. The device itself features a four-inch touchscreen display alongside a control dial, a back button, a settings button and four preset buttons. There’s also an array of four noise-cancelling microphones to process voice commands.

Car Thing connects to the Spotify app on your smartphone, and uses its Wi-Fi or mobile data plan. So long as you can play music from your phone on your car stereo currently, Car Thing should work for you. The device requires a Spotify Premium account, so ad-supported users need not apply. Future versions of the device will incorporate requests from early testers, like an auto-dimming screen and support for an “add to queue” voice command.

Interested parties can grab Spotify’s Car Thing for $89.99 (that’s $10 more than the previously quoted MSRP) over on Spotify’s website.

How to use enhanced Google Chrome safety mode - HT Tech

Through Google Chrome safety mode, you get a safer, more secure browser experience.

Google Chrome offers an enhanced Safe Browsing mode, which you might not be aware of. It's an extra layer of protection that you can switch on for a more secure browsing experience. You can enable this feature by making a few changes in the settings. Enhanced Safe Browsing is for "users who require or want a more advanced level of security while browsing the web," Google added. This allows users to send files flagged as suspicious to Google for further inspection and hence reduces the risk of getting caught out by malware.

Notably, Google hasn't yet added the Enhanced Safe Browsing mode to Chrome for the iPhone and the iPad. It is available only on the desktop edition across all platforms, as well as in Chrome OS. It's also available for the Android edition of Chrome. Know how it works and how to enable it.

How Google’s Enhanced Safe Browsing mode works?

The Enhanced Safe Browsing mode works on top of the security measures that are already built into Chrome. For example, the browser checks sites you visit against a list of potentially dangerous URLs. It even turns on the additional security protections to recognize bad sites even if they're not on the latest list. By default, it also checks if your email addresses and passwords are included in any data breaches leaked out on the web and sends you an alert.

Users who enable the Google’s Enhanced Safe Browsing mode feature are likely to be phished 35 percent less on average.
