Microsoft Word settles space debate, will flag double spaces as errors

Microsoft has officially sided with those who believe sentences should have one space instead of two. Microsoft Word is being updated to support this change, meaning if you still use double spaces after a period, it will appear as an error, and the recommended change will be a single space. The company started testing this change on the desktop version of the app. And like other Editor suggestions, you have the option to ignore it once, make the change, or turn it off. The change is rolling out to all desktop users of the app soon.

Microsoft Surface Earbuds are reportedly launching in Europe on May 6

The Microsoft Surface Earbuds was unveiled during the fall Surface event, but its release got pushed back to a vague timeline of spring 2020 in the US. Its launch might come sooner rather than later. WinFuture reports that the earbuds will be available in Europe starting May 6, with a retail price of €199 or around CA$303 (which, if true, puts it roughly in line with the US$250 pricing or around CA$352). Of course, that price may not be the same as the actual Canadian price, but it gives us a ballpark figure. We also don't have word yet when the wireless earbuds will be available here.

The Surface Earbuds brings features like touch controls for Office apps like PowerPoint, live translation support in over 60 languages, and support for significant voice assistants like Google Assistant, Alexa, and Cortana (presumably, Siri, too).
