A new Prehistoric Planet video looks at what dinosaurs did when they had unusually small arms.
It’s thought the small arms were used for attracting a mate rather than carrying or holding objects.
Prehistoric Planet season one is now available to stream on Apple TV+.

The new promo video wonders what some dinosaurs did with their small limbs.

As the Apple TV+ docuseries Prehistoric Planet draws to a close after its five-day extravaganza, the show’s final episode comes with another new promo video — this one focusing on the absurdly small arms that some dinosaurs boasted.

This promo, likely to be the final one of these longer videos, takes a look at what use such small appendages could have been. They were too small to carry and hold things, but that doesn’t mean that they were completely useless. The show, hosted by Sir David Attenborough, believes the arms were there to help attract a mate — just as some modern animals have similar features that do noth…

Google Drive finally allows people to use keyboard shortcuts to use the clipboard.
The new keyboard shortcuts are only available to people using Google Chrome.

Why it’s only available in Chrome is anyone’s guess at this point.

Amazingly, Google Drive didn’t allow people to use keyboard shortcuts to cut, copy, and paste files until yesterday — and even now, they can only do it if they’re using Google’s Chrome browser at the time.

The new addition was announced via a blog post and will come as a surprise to many who assumed it was already possible. Well, now it is — but not if you’re using Safari or any other browser. It’s Google Chome for you, or you’ll be right-clicking just like before.

You can now use familiar keyboard shortcuts Ctrl + C (or ⌘ + C on Mac), Ctrl + X and Ctrl + V to copy, cut and paste Google Drive files in your Chrome browser. This saves you time by allowing you to copy one or more files and move them to new locations in Drive, …

Here’s the checkbox to click if that pesky notch gets in the way.

Apple’s 2021 MacBook Pro models offer superb performance and efficiency gains with the M1 Pro and M1 Max chips, the return of varied I/O options, and gorgeous displays.

Though the new machines are undoubtedly the best MacBooks ever, they also bring something else that’s new to the Mac: the notch. For Apple, as it is known officially, the camera housing is a necessary evil to shrink the bezels while improving the camera quality on the new laptops. Unfortunately, however, the notch is causing problems for some users when app controls and menu bar items become hidden.

Fortunately, there’s a simple way to fix it by scaling the app in question to fit below the 2021 MacBook Pro notch. Here’s how to do it.

How to scale apps around the notch on the MacBook Pro (2021)
