Instead, its existing controls allowed parents only to dole out a set amount of hours of screen time. Parents could choose to either ...

Source: Apple rolls out new Siri audio clip grading opt-in and request history deletion feature in beta Apple is rolling out a new opt-in notice for Siri audio sample review with the beta of iOS 13.2.

Source: Microsoft Azure now lets you have a server all to yourself Microsoft today announced the preview launch of Azure Dedicated Host, a new cloud service that will allow you to run your virtual machines on single-tenant physical services. That means you’re not sharing any resources on that server with anybody else and you’ll get full control over everything that’s running on that machine. Previously, Azure already offered isolated Virtual Machine sizes for two very large virtual machine types. Those are still available, but their use cases are comparably limited to these new hosts, which offer far more flexibility. With ...
