If we are used to using voice assistants, with Siri we had a great lack since it was not compatible with Spotify, the most po[CENSORED]r streaming music platform on the market. With the arrival of iOS 13 and if we can control it and not only from our smartphone. Official support reaches all users, thus offering us greater compatibility, now it will be easier to start the reproductions, change the song or even the playlist. This novelty comes to satisfy a large number of users who had realized this need and had informed both companies. Siri and Spotify are also compatible with AirPods The compatibility of Siri and Spotify reaches the po[CENSORED]r assistant and also the AirPods, the most po[CENSORED]r Apple headphones. Through the AirPods microphone itself we can give orders to the Apple assistant to work with Spotify and thus avoid the need to take out the mobile or look at our Apple Watch. An entire ecosystem compatible with the idea of providing its users with the needs, a function especially useful for athletes, who once started the exercise tasks will not need to use the mobile phone, nor to check statistics, nor to control the music that they are listening. This compatibility does not remain only in the AirPods, it extends and reaches other products such as the HomePod, which is really useful while we are doing tasks at home, avoiding distractions and making us do our best only in what we are doing. In turn, the arrival at CarPlay has also been confirmed, a priority for virtual assistants, since while driving, being able to use the commands allows us, here, to concentrate on what is really important. Spotify wants to remain king Given the abysmal competition with which we are in the market, Spotify is making wise decisions, how to incorporate your accounting with Siri and offer its users the needs they demand, as was the case with the Android widget. The continuous offers and promotions of the platform in student or family plans are other strong points to compete with Amazon or Tidal services, among the great variety that is making its appearance due to the success understood.

Microsoft released its preliminary version Build 18999 (20H1) for its Windows Insider program and whose main novelty is that it allows you to answer calls from any Android phone from the PC (Windows 10). The new feature is called Calls or Calls, and is integrated into Your Phone, the Microsoft application to link the phone with a Windows 10 computer, and keep track of notifications from notifications to photos. The objective is that the user, from his PC, can answer and make calls, as well as reject them with a personalized message or send them to the mailbox, in addition to accessing the call history and transferring them from the computer to the phone. Microsoft indicated that the function will also be implemented in version 19H1 or newer. The new Windows 10 update is expected to arrive in the first half of 2020 for the end user. It is worth mentioning that virtually any Microsoft client can join the Windows Insider program to obtain preliminary builds of Windows 10 and provide comments for improvement.

As we informed you just a few days ago, a problem was detected in Windows 10 related to USB Type-C devices that caused the computer to shut down or go into hibernation in a much slower way than we are used to. In fact, this is something that Microsoft itself admitted claiming it was working on a solution. More specifically, the Redmond-based firm said that simply shutting down a computer with Windows 10 and compatible with USB Type-C devices could extend the shutdown of the device in more than one minute under certain conditions. This came because Windows 10 October 2018 Update does not work well with the software interface of the mentioned connector due to an error in its implementation. This means that if we are turning off the PC and a USB Type-C device is being connected or disconnected, the process could get quite long. It is also true that the error is not a big problem, since the computer and the USB device will continue to function normally after the restart, but it is something that should be corrected. Well, as we know now, the firm has just released a new update for Windows 10 in which Microsoft says that this error has been resolved in the May 2019 Update or 1903 version. Therefore, the company advises the affected users to install this recent version of the system as soon as possible, since it corrects the problem of slow shutdown, although for the moment it has not been confirmed if it also plans to correct this same error in 1809, that is, on Windows 10 October 2018 Update. Thus, what is also achieved is that a greater number of users finally decide to install on their computers the most modern and updated version of the operating system, one of Microsoft's main objectives for a long time. Other fixes included in the new Windows 10 update But this bug that we are referring to has not been the only one that has been solved in the new update, but other elements have been patched. We say this because in the new cumulative update of Windows 10, KB4501375, released for version 1903 of the system, other problems that had not been solved until now have been solved. For example, some users were reporting that some screenshots taken in Windows 10 1903 were somewhat yellowish, and apparently this is an error that came because the F.lux functionality that is running in the background, had some problems with the May 2019 Update, since the color profiles of this feature are not loaded when the system is restarted with the quick start option. In fact this is something that was recognized as an error and users were advised to disable this quick start to avoid faulty screenshots. However, in this recent update, this is a bug that has already been corrected, as is the case with the custom view error in the Event Viewer of the operating system, among others, as a redirection problem between Microsoft Edge and the Internet Explorer 11.
