You should call in sick more often — even if you’re WFH

The dramatic rise in working from home due to coronavirus looks likely to become a permanent feature for many organizations, at least for part of the week. But while this brings many benefits to both employees and employers, it’s also likely to lead to more people working while ill. This is not good for people’s health in the long term and will require companies to actively encourage their employees to take time off when necessary. Working from home allows employees to balance caring responsibilities and other non-work commitments with work demands, as well as reducing commute times and decreasing job-related…

Google will turn selfie retouching off by default with new Pixel phones

• Google will deactivate selfie retouching in the Camera app on new Pixels by default.
• The move is in a bid to improve users’ mental health and self-image.
• The selfie retouching feature will now explain which features it aims to edit.

Google is switching off selfie retouching on its new Pixel smartphones by default. Starting with the Pixel 4a, Pixel 4a 5G, and Pixel 5, the Camera app will now also provide more information to those using the feature.

The latter will be pushed through a forthcoming update, providing users with icons and labels explaining what retouching features the app wants to apply and why. With this update, the app will also describe the selfie features it wishes to tweak, be it “skin texture, under-eye tone, and eye brightness,” as an example. The user can then choose to accept these touch-ups or run with the snap as is.

The move aims to provide better transparency for users with an unmodified view of themselves, says Google. This in turn reportedly promotes better mental health. “These default filters can quietly set a beauty standard that some people compare themselves against,” the company adds.

It’s a small tweak to how the Camera app functions on Google’s phones, and isn’t a bid to wean users off using filters, but should give those who just want to snap a selfie more control over this process.

It’s unclear if the retouching tweaks will reach other Pixels and the Camera app on other phones. The feature doesn’t seem intrinsically connected to any new hardware on the new Pixel phones, so we wouldn’t rule the update heading to other Camera app-powered devices in the future.

YouTube Restores iOS 14 Picture in Picture Capability on Mobile Website

Tonight, the YouTube website has started allowing iOS 14 devices to use the built-in Picture in Picture functionality for its videos even without a Premium account.

This is an apparent reversal of a change that YouTube explicitly made following the release of ‌iOS 14‌ which blocked such behavior. At that time, YouTube would only allow that capability for users with Premium accounts. Tonight's change means that any YouTube visitor can use Picture in Picture in Safari.

— MacRumors.com (@MacRumors) October 2, 2020

‌iOS 14‌ introduced native Picture in Picture capability to the iPhone for the first time, however, apps have to explicitly support the feature. YouTube's native app has never supported Picture in Picture for any of its users even though iPadOS has offered the capability for some time. There have been reports that YouTube has been testing this feature, but there have been no announcements.

As a result, ‌iOS 14‌ users have had to resort to using YouTube in Safari as a workaround. Since there have been no announcements either way, it's unclear if this change is permanent or not.

Thanks Jorge
