The company reported third quarter net income of $6.6 billion, or $1.55 a share, on revenue of $32.9 billion, up 4.3% from a year ago. The revenue figure includes two months of Verizon Media and growth would have been 5.5% with an extra month. Verizon sold its media unit, which included Yahoo and AOL, to Apollo Global for $5 billion. Non-GAAP earnings for the third quarter were $1.41 a share....
Once the United Kingdom withdrew from the EU, this created an avenue for wireless carriers to re-impose mobile roaming charges to customers who were once protected from these fees after the bloc abolished roaming costs in 2017. While it is still possible to rack up extra charges on a mobile device when visiting countries outside of the EU – such as when visiting the US – many are concerned that carriers would begin to reintroduce roaming charges to UK customers....
Also: Why is Twitter turning millions of accounts into defenseless targets? In February, Twitter Blue subscribers got access to 4,000 character tweets with their $8 per month subscription. These tweets are already very lengthy, allowing for whole paragraphs of text as seen by the tweet below. According to Musk, this limit could soon be extended to 10,000 characters. Although there are no details on this feature yet, if 10,000 character tweets are something you are interested in, then you may want to sign up for Twitter Blue since the long-form tweet feature will most likely remain a subscriber only feature....
Most of our education systems don’t emphasize financial literacy. We may learn the Pythagorean Theorem as teenagers, but not the basics of managing money, much less how a credit card works or what a credit score is. For many young people starting their professional life, knowing how to manage money is far more important than knowing how to determine the angle and sides of a triangle. When it came to credit cards, what was drilled into my head was: “If you can’t afford it, you don’t buy it....
In some cases, the ACT isn’t optional, it’s mandatory. Some states require all high school students to take the ACT (or the SAT) to graduate. The pandemic led K-12 schools and colleges to rethink the importance of standardized tests. Some K-12 schools waived the graduation testing rule. And some colleges and universities waived the test as an application requirement. You might want to learn more about the ACT because it’s a high school graduation requirement....
Most people who take the GMAT are students who want to earn a master’s in business administration, or MBA degree. Students interested in other business-related degrees, like management, finance, or consulting, may also consider taking the GMAT. Some schools offer test waivers. Others don’t require students to submit test scores. Higher education and student rights advocates say requiring standardized test scores can discourage or block students from pursuing their dreams....
In recent years, however, some schools have moved away from requiring students to take the GRE and other standardized tests. Education and student rights advocates say standardized tests aren’t useful indicators of a person’s academic potential. On the other hand, taking the GRE can give you an advantage. Many schools continue to use the GRE as an important part of their admissions process. Having GRE scores to submit can mean having access to more program choices....
But how do you know what motherboard is inside your PC? Well, fortunately, there are several easy ways to find out. I’m going to show three ways to identify your motherboard. And best of all, none of these methods requires you to download and install anything, because while there are some nice motherboard-identifying utilities out there, finding them means sifting through search results that point to some decidedly dodgy websites, and downloading them means having to run the gantlet of websites plastered with deceptive “download now” ads....
Multitasking in Teams meetings on the iPad has improved. There’s now a collapsible right panel during meetings that allows the participant, for example, to chat with colleagues while watching and listening to a presentation. Chat bubbles in meetings are now available on iOS and Android. When chat bubbles are enabled, users can see chat messages on the screen to preview the two most recent messages.

My colleague David Gewirtz discovered this setting last week, and hoo boy, I am here to tell you he did not like it one bit. The 10-day limit is “bonkers,” he wrote, adding that it is “ridiculous and arbitrary [and] seems completely random.” And then he speculates as to the reason. “Why? Just because.” Somewhere in Redmond, I am certain, the product managers in charge of Windows 11 upgrades are reading that and pounding their heads on a desk in frustration....

That cursing wildly would send you to Hell, for example. Or that most of humanity is fundamentally sane. Yet I’ve just espied an allegedly serious study that may stretch many a belief system. Until, perhaps, you let it sit there for a while. For reasons beyond our scope today, Savings.com thought it would uncover the current inner workings of the Windows user’s mind. Oddly, it discovered a surprise or two....
For the period ending 27 June 2021, group sales came in at AU$67 billion, 6% higher year-on-year, of which its Australian food business contributed AU$44 billion. Unsurprisingly, its group ecommerce sales jumped a whopping 58% to AU$5.6 billion. Breaking that down, its Australian food ecommerce sales delivered through WooliesX, the digital arm of the business, increased by 75% from AU$2 billion to AU$3.5 billion during the full year period. The Australian retail giant attributed the growth in ecommerce sales to the ongoing investment it continued to make in its digital and ecommerce channels....
