Google updates Coral accelerator 
The update adds the M.2 Accelerator with Dual Edge TPU which was used in Google’s Series One room kits where it helped remove interruptions and made the audio clearer for better video meetings. 

“The ability to scale across multiple edge accelerators isn’t limited to only two Edge TPUs. As edge computing expands to local data centers, cell towers, and gateways, multi-Edge TPU configurations will be required to help process increasingly sophisticated ML models,” according to the Google team.

To encourage more developers to build products with Coral Intelligence, Google also dropped the prices on several of its products.

Open Mainframe Project launches four new projects
Open Mainframe Project announced four new projects as well as a COBOL working group and Micro Focus as a new member. 

CBT Tape, GenevaERS, Software Discovery Tool and Mainframe Open Education have been accepted as new projects.

“The Open Mainframe Project is a crucial pillar that intertwines the mainframe industry with the open source community,” said John Mertic, the director of program management for the Linux Foundation. “We depend on our members to suggest new projects while we ensure a vendor-neutral governance that helps breathe new life into traditional technologies like COBOL and CBT Tape. We look forward to continued growth in both the development and use of these technologies.”

Firefox Send and Firefox notes
Firefox announced the end of life for Firefox Send and Firefox Notes as some users were beginning to use Send to ship malware and conduct spear phishing attacks, according to the company. 

“In the intervening period, as we weighed the cost of our overall portfolio and strategic focus, we made the decision not to relaunch the service. Because the service is already offline, no major changes in status are expected,” Mozilla wrote in a blog post

The Firefox Notes desktop browser extension will remain available for existing installs and will include an option to export all notes, however it will no longer be maintained by Mozilla and will no longer be installable.

Difference between Web Designer and Web Developer Neeraj Mishra The Crazy Programmer

Have you ever wondered about the distinctions between web developers’ and web designers’ duties and obligations? You’re not alone! Many people have trouble distinguishing between these two. Although they collaborate to publish new websites on the internet, web developers and web designers play very different roles.

To create a vision for the house, including the visual components, the space planning and layout, the materials, and the overall appearance and sense of the space, you need an architect. That said, to translate an idea into a building, you need construction professionals to take those architectural drawings and put them into practice.

Last year saw the availability of life-saving vaccines, so companies were able to start having the conversation about what to do next. Should they keep everyone remote? Should they go back to working in the office full time? Or should they do something in between? Enter hybrid work, which offers a mix of the two. A Fall 2021 study conducted by Google revealed that over 75% of survey respondents expect hybrid work to become a standard practice within their organization within the next three years.  Thus, two years after the world abruptly shifted to widespread adoption of remote work, we are declaring 20
