Tesla's Trans-Canada Highway Supercharger network is now live

Tesla has officially opened the Trans-Canada Highway Supercharger network, letting you drive from one Canadian coast to the other with your electric car. The electric vehicle manufacturer has been building this network for over a year, and a lot of these stations are modern 250kW V3 chargers. These chargers can add about 125km of range in five minutes, which is faster than its older models. Electrek reports that the stations are marked open in Tesla's in-car Supercharger finder, but Tesla's site doesn't reflect the change just yet. You can check third-party tracker site supercharge.info for updates on what charging stations are live.

New Facebook Messenger app is available on the Microsoft Store

Facebook released a new beta version of its Messenger app on the Microsoft Store. Now powered by Electron instead of OSMeta, the feature set is closer to the iOS and Android versions of the app. It works on x86 and ARM processors. The app features a clean look with light and dark mode, as well as the option to attach files. The update seems to be rolling out in stages, so you might need to be a bit patient if it hasn't made its way to you yet.

Google Play Store lets you turn off auto-play videos

The Google Play Store, particularly in the Games feed, auto-plays video for promoting certain games and apps. Now, you can turn off this feature if you're worried about it eating up your data. Head to Settings > General > Auto-play videos. There are three options there: one will auto-play videos at any time, another is over Wi-Fi only, and then the other turns the feature off entirely. This feature doesn't work with GIFs, those still work on auto-play. You will have this option if you have version 17.9.17 of the app.
