Indeed, estate agents thought broadband was more important than the number of bedrooms, the age of a property, and access to transport. The relative importance of fast broadband may have gone up since the pandemic began almost two years ago, with people working, learning, meeting and viewing entertainment at home on the same network, often at the same time....

But wouldn’t it be even better if one could make Google Assistant a bit more efficient? Well, Google and its bevy of Android developers thought of that very thing. Usually, when you want to do something with Google Assistant, you start by saying, “OK, Google,” or “Hey, Google.” But there’s more to it than that. If you have one of the newer Pixel phones (Pixel 6 or newer), the Google Assistant app has a not-so-obvious feature called “Quick phrases” that simplifies the interactions you have for things like alarms, timers, and incoming calls....

What this does is configure the device to preserve as much of the battery life as possible. This reduces energy consumption by automatically turning down screen brightness and lowering the CPU clock speed. Not only does this help to reduce battery consumption, but it also has the added effect of keeping your MacBook quieter because the fans will not run (thanks to the lower CPU clock speed)....
