We’re still at least a couple weeks out from the public launch of iOS 13, but that hasn’t stopped Apple from going full steam ahead with the iOS 13.1 beta, which was seeded to developers on Tuesday. 24 hours later, public beta testers can join in on the fun as well, as the first iOS 13.1 public beta is now available to download.

iOS 13.1 includes several features that were originally scheduled to be included in the initial iOS 13 release, such as Shortcut Automations (which allow users to have automations in the Shortcuts app occur automatically under certain conditions) and Share ETA (which lets users share their ETA with friends and family).

Here’s how to sign up for a free month of T-Mobile service

%name Articles of Interest by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

Over the past three years, T-Mobile has made investments in its business that include adding 1 million square miles of new LTE coverage, plus more than 25,000 new towers and cell sites, upgrading every LTE cell site and spending almost $30 billion to build out its network. The latter includes almost $8 billion spent to buy 600 MHz airwaves covering 100% of the US.

The carrier loves to tout its excellence over rivals that it believes are stagnating and offer a less impressive product. T-Mobile, in fact, believes in that idea so much that it’s going to start letting people test-drive, if you will, its service for one month — free of charge.

Apple announces sweeping changes to its Siri review process following privacy backlash

%name Articles of Interest by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

Apple got into a bit of hot water earlier this month amidst reports that the company was using contractors to review audio recordings of Siri commands from users. While the goal was simply to improve the efficacy and reliability of Siri, some contractors revealed that they were able to listen in on confidential conversations when Siri was mistakenly called into action.

Compounding matters was the fact that Apple’s Siri review program didn’t even ask users if they wanted to be a part of it. Clearly, this wasn’t a good look for a company that makes privacy a key selling point for its products.

Google Maps is getting smarter and making your commute easier

%name Articles of Interest by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

Public transit is so prevalent in New York City that I can almost always reach my destination without having to leave the subway. At worst, I have to hop on a bus for the last leg of my journey. But even in NYC, and more often in cities where public transit isn’t quite as ubiquitous, there’s always a chance that the train or the bus or the subway will only get you most of the way there, which is why Google Maps is upgrading its transit directions.

In the coming weeks, Google Maps is going to begin pairing transit directions with biking and ridesharing suggestions to make sure you reach your destination with as little walking as possible. That way, you don’t have to figure out how to proceed once you reach the last stop on your trip with a few miles left to your destination.

One of the most interesting things happening in the entertainment industry right now is the Sony vs. Disney fight over Spider-Man. If you’re somehow unaware of what happened, you should know that Spider-Man 3 is not going to be part of the MCU for the time being, as Sony and Disney failed to ink a new deal. It’s also one of the most annoying things to happen to fans, considering that it’s fans who will suffer most over the split. However, all hope isn’t lost yet, as Sony and Disney might reach a new compromise in the future. That’s why you should bookmark a brand new site whose only purpose is to tell you whether or not Spider-Man is back in the MCU yet.
