Google Fit gets health-centric YouTube video feed

As part of Google's "Stay Fit #WithMe" campaign, Google Fit is making it easier to find health-related videos on its app. It will integrate a YouTube video feed with clips from various creators, focusing on home workouts, mental wellness advice, and meditation videos as well as eating and drinking healthy with soy or cacao drinks.. 

Google aims to encourage its users to meet or exceeded the World Health Organization's and the American Heart Association's minimum recommendations for weekly physical activity, which is more important now as people's mobility remains limited because of COVID-19. The video carousel will roll out to all users this week. There might be regional differences with what kinds of videos are available, but as Android Police notes, they only see one playlist.

Apple warns customers against closing laptops with camera covers

Apple is reminding its MacBook owners that it's not good to close their laptops if a camera cover is in place. Why? Because it could crack your display. The company said the clearance between the screen and keyboard is designed to very tight tolerances." Apple posted the advisory on July 2. 

Plastic camera covers with sliding mechanisms are common, especially for users concerned about potentially getting spied on. But this comes at the cost of breaking your laptop's screen, which can be expensive to get repaired.
