Toyota and Lexus recalling 645,000 vehicles for air bags that may fail to deploy

Toyota is recalling 645,000 vechilces worldwide for a serious electrical problem that stops airbags from deploying in the event of an accident. This covers Toyota Prius and Lexus RX and NX SUVs. Also covered are some Toyota Alphard, Vellfire, Sienta, Noah, Voxy, Esquire, Probox, Succeed, Corolla, Highlander, Levin and Hilux models. All were produced from May of 2015 to March of 2016.

Toyota says says an open electrical circuit could occur over time. That would set off an air bag warning light and could stop the side and front air bags from deploying. Toyota will notify owners by letter in starting in late March.

Are we finally getting an 18:9 Sony Xperia Compact?

Is the nex Sony Xperia Compact going to be bezel-less?

Is Sony finally ready to leave behind its 16:9 displays? A new FCC certification suggests this might be a possibility. It shows a Sony Xperia Compact with a tall aspect ratio—or at least that’s what the dimensions suggest. Based on the description, it has a 5-inch screen (126mm) with 135.43 x 64.63mm measurement. If you compare this with the Xperia XZ1 Compact with its 129 x 64mm measurement, it has the same width but it’s shorter. The FCC certification only shows the display diagonal and not the aspect ratio or sides. GSMArena tried to compare these measurements to see how it would look. Whether we’d see this device soon is not something we can say just yet. But it does give us some pretty good evidence that perhaps Sony is ready to let go of its bezels.

Office 365 and OneDrive for iOS now support drag and drop functionality

iOS on the iPad is getting a productivity boost thanks to Microsoft who has enabled support for drag and drop functionality in the iPad and the Files app in iOS 11. This approximates functionality on PCs and Macs and makes it easier for users to interact with files and data.

We can now use drag and drop on iPad to drag content into documents, presentations, and spreadsheets from other Office apps or OneDrive. Drag and drop files to and from OneDrive and other sources—such as SharePoint or iMessage.

OneDrive for iOS now natively supports the Files app in iOS 11. Upload, access, edit, and save content to OneDrive or SharePoint from any iOS app. A big one is the ability to co-author in Word, PowerPoint, and Excel for iOS and Mac.
