Instagram Update Adds Emoji Shortcuts Bar for Faster Comments
Instagram has added an emoji shortcut bar to its mobile app that places the user’s most-used emojis above the keyboard whenever they start to comment on a post (via The Verge).
The new emoji bar doesn’t appear on other occasions in the app that call for the use of the onscreen keyboard, such as when a user creates a post or comments on a Story.
Instagram has obviously identified post comments as the place where emoji are most frequently used on the platform, and naturally wants to make the interaction as easy as possible.
The feature has been in limited testing since May, but only recently became available to everyone on the image-led social network with the latest mobile app update.

The use of emoji in digital communications has skyrocketed ever since Apple introduced the emoji keyboard to iOS back in October 2011. In the month following the introduction, Instagram revealed that 10 percent of text on the social network included the use of emoji.
By March 2015, nearly half of all text on the platform contained the ubiquitous expressive characters, leading Instagram to employ machine learning to recognize long-term emoji trends. This latest update might be regarded as an inevitable outcome of its extensive analysis.

Apple’s Carpool Karaoke Wins Short Form Emmy Award
Apple on Sunday won its first Primetime Emmy for original content, landing the accolade for Apple Music’s Carpool Karaoke, which won Outstanding Short Form Variety Series at this year’s Creative Arts Emmy Awards (via Deadline).
Carpool Karaoke began as a viral segment on CBS’ The Late Late Show With James Corden, before Apple acquired the rights in 2016 to develop an offshoot that it would initially make available in 2017 for Apple Music subscribers to watch. This year Apple added the series to the iOS TV app and the Apple TV, making it free to watch for device owners.
“To try and do a Carpool Karaoke series without James Corden was a tricky thing,” Carpool Karaoke executive producer Ben Winston said as he accepted the award on stage. “I think this might be Apple’s first Emmy!”
Corden has appeared in a couple of episodes produced for Apple Music, but Apple’s version mainly features celebrities in the driver’s seat originally occupied by Corden, with other celebrities coming along for the ride. Guest pairings have included Shakira and Trevor Noah, Shaquille O’Neal and WWE star John Cena, and Game of Thrones stars Sophie Turner and Maisie Williams.
Last year, the series made headlines when an episode featuring the Linkin Park crew was recorded just a week before lead singer Chester Bennington’s death. Apple renewed the series for a second season in February and has since aired a few new episodes with the cast of the movie TAG and Evan Rachel Wood and James Marsden from Westworld.
The show was one of Apple’s first efforts at an original series, along with the ill-fated Planet of the Apps, which did not get renewed for a second season following rather mixed reviews.

Elon Musk’s Boring Company turns digging machine into ‘best video game ever’
After witnessing Elon Musk burning down a doobie in a recent podcast show, many people had an “ahh, I geddit now” moment as they suddenly realized how some of the billionaire entrepreneur’s slightly wackier proposals may have come to be.
A couple of days after Musk’s brief encounter with the green goddess, a video (below) appeared on the Boring Company‘s Twitter feed showing one of its digging machines apparently being operated by an Xbox controller. The tweet includes the caption,”Best video game ever,” though avid gamers may have a word or two to say about that.
We have no idea if it was Musk himself at the controls — there were certainly no thick puffs of smoke wafting in front of the camera as the demonstration proceeded. But seeing as he’s the CEO of the company, and knowing Musk’s penchant for outlandish projects, it’s definitely possible that the idea of connecting an Xbox controller to a giant digging machine could have come from the very same lips that recently wrapped themselves around a spliff during Joe Rogan’s podcast.

— The Boring Company (@boringcompany) September 8, 2018
It’s not clear if the setup is an experiment to test the viability of a novel digging method, or a publicity stunt to help spread the word of the Boring Company’s mission. A stunt like the Boring Company caps, or the Not-a-Flamethrower, or Musk’s idea that rock excavated by the Boring Company’s machines could be used to build life-size replicas of ancient Egyptian monuments. Is the demonstration even real? You be the judge.
The Boring Company plan
For the uninitiated, the Boring Company is, like Tesla and SpaceX, another of Musk’s grand pursuits. This particular one has the ambition to build a vast network of tunnels beneath car-clogged cities in an effort to ease traffic congestion. The idea is to use powerful digging machines that can drill at speeds much faster than conventional boring machines, which should dramatically cut the cost of such projects.
Vehicles would be carried through the tunnels on track-based electric sleds at speeds of up to 150 mph. An elevator-type system would lower a vehicle, and the people inside, from the street onto the sled, while cyclists and pedestrians would use other, specially designed pods. Once moving, the sleds would transfer from side tunnels to the main tunnel, ensuing that all the sleds on the main artery are constantly moving, thereby ensuring maximum efficiency. “This is a big difference compared to subways that stop at every stop, whether you’re getting off or not,” Musk said.
The company has already created a test tunnel beneath SpaceX’s headquarters in Hawthorne, California, and has plans for tunneling projects in Chicago and on the East Coast. Its latest proposal suggests a short route between Lose Angeles’ Dodger Stadium and other transportation links, a project that, if greenlit, could be a useful test bed for its grander vision of a large network of tunnels.
Musk first mentioned his futuristic boring plan in 2016 when he was stuck in his car on a gridlocked freeway. “Traffic is driving me nuts,” he tweeted in December, 2016. “Am going to build a tunnel boring machine and just start digging…” There was no mention of any Xbox controllers, though.

The Moto G6 Plus is dead on arrival in India
Motorola has launched the Moto G6 Plus in India, but it shouldn’t have bothered.
Even until the start of last year, Motorola was the brand to beat in the budget segment in India. Earlier models in the Moto G series offered decent performance coupled with a clean software experience and quick updates, but Motorola squandered its footing in the country with a series of ill-timed decisions. The most egregious of these included flooding the market with sub-par phones and abandoning software updates for entry-level phones — a few devices like the Moto E4 Plus didn’t receive a single platform update.
Motorola launched the Moto G6 and G6 Play in India earlier in the year, and is now following it up with the Moto G6 Plus. The Moto G6 didn’t have a lot to offer in a segment that fields the likes of the Redmi Note 5 Pro, the ZenFone Max Pro M1, and more recently the Nokia 6.1 Plus, and the Moto G6 Plus is in a similar predicament.
The Moto G6 Plus will go on sale in India for ₹22,499 ($310). For that price, you get a device with a 5.9-inch 18:9 panel backed by Gorilla Glass 3, Snapdragon 630, 6GB of RAM and 64GB of internal storage, dual 12MP + 5MP cameras at the back, 8MP front shooter, Wi-Fi ac, Bluetooth 5.0, and a 3200mAh battery. To put things into context, the 6GB/64GB variant of the Redmi Note 5 Pro retails for ₹16,999 ($235), and that particular device is powered by the beefier Snapdragon 636.
If you’re not a fan of MIUI, then there’s the Mi A2: Xiaomi’s 2018 Android One device is available in India for ₹16,999 ($235) as well, and it comes with a Snapdragon 660 and a camera that would put the Moto G6 Plus to shame.
If you’re still not convinced, then we have the POCO F1. The phone features a Snapdragon 845, 6GB of LPDDR4X RAM, 64GB of UFS 2.1 flash storage, and a massive 4000mAh battery, and it costs just ₹20,999 ($290).
Motorola’s current woes in India are of its own making; the brand was cognizant of the prevalent conditions in the budget segment and continued to ignore them. The company was never one to offer beefy specs, but it differentiated itself by providing value on the software front. It lost that edge last year when it failed to deliver timely security and platform updates, and the launch of the Moto G6 Plus does nothing to sway consumers looking to pick up the Nokia 6.1 Plus, Mi A2, or the POCO F1.
If you’re in the market for a phone in the ₹20,000 segment, you’re better off spending it on the POCO F1.

What does Argonaut’s $21,000 carbon bike look like? Whatever you want

Carbon fiber is an incredible material that can make practically anything lighter, faster, or stronger, and few industries have delved as wholeheartedly into the carbon fiber pool as cycling. With frames, handlebars, wheels, and even seats available in the woven wonder material, bicycles today are better than they’ve ever been.
It’s not all upsides, though. The thing about using carbon in a bike is that it makes things incredibly rigid –which is good– but it does introduce some drawbacks. That rigidity allows you to put all the power you can muster into the pedals and eventually the ground, but a bike that’s too stiff will wear you out because of its unyielding properties. The flesh and bone beings that we’re made of require a little bit of flex when it comes to peak power output, because we aren’t as strong as the bikes we’re riding—and therein lies the drawback.
Manufacturers have responded to the issue of rigidity by tailoring bikes to the needs of different groups, and making bikes with different stiffness profiles for touring, racing, and other disciplines. The only problem is that a “one-size-fits-all” mantra is necessary to keep costs down, which limits the number of models available. This isn’t necessarily a bad thing, it’s just the way most large bike manufacturers work.
But what if you had a solution for the rigidity issue that would allow for nearly limitless adjustability? What if you could make a carbon fiber bike as unique as its rider’s fingerprint — one that fits their body better than a pair of spandex shorts? Enter Argonaut.
Reining in rigidity
Argonaut is headquartered in Bend, OR, and was started in 2010 by CEO Ben Farver. Ben was welding steel bike frames for a living when he came up with his carbon fiber rigidity solution. In essence, his idea was a tunable carbon fiber bicycle frame.
Generally speaking, the best way to tune a bicycle is to change its size and geometry. But Ben wanted to tune for riding style, power output, and road type (i.e. hills, flats, sprints, distance, or race). This requires much more than simple size and shape adjustments.
Argonaut
In order to make this idea a reality Ben spent two years developing his carbon fiber frames with the help of Innovative Composite Engineering (ICE), based out of White Salmon, WA. ICE builds a slew of composite parts for the aerospace, automotive, and military industries, including a few pieces for a privateer rocket company.
Argonaut has figured out a way to get flexibility and strength exactly where they want it, giving the rider the best bang for their buck with each crank of the pedal.
After more than a year of tinkering, Ben and ICE found that by using unidirectional carbon fiber in addition to a more standard weave, they could achieve varying stiffness profiles that were unique to each rider. By layering the unidirectional carbon fiber sheets, Argonaut is able to tune its bike frames by changing the degree at which the sheets are aligned throughout the frame. In more comprehensible terms, by tweaking the way the grain of each carbon fiber sheet interacts with its neighbors, Argonaut has figured out a way to get flexibility and strength exactly where they want it, giving the rider the best bang for their buck with each crank of the pedal.
The best way to describe the layering of the carbon fiber is to show you. Conveniently, the folks at Argonaut have put together a video, as well as an exploded view of one of their bike frames before it’s gone through the manufacturing process. Through a precise combination of carbon fiber layers, the design can change based on how the pieces are aligned and where additional layers are placed. In essence, each bike frame is a puzzle where the size, shape and orientation of the pieces is unknown until the rider provides their input—and Argonaut has the recipe for sorting it all out; a secret sauce of unlimited flavors.
It’s all in the flex
After two years of research and development with ICE, the result was a concept Ben calls “Three-Dimensional Flex.” Three-Dimensional Flex combines the calculated wizardry that goes into creating each individual piece with Ben’s unique knowledge of how best to capitalize on a particular rider’s habits based on their torsional (up and down) and bending (front to back) rigidity needs. That’s what makes Argonaut so special—the melding of Ben’s experience as a frame building artist with the modern componentry of carbon fiber science. By tweaking the flex in an incredibly precise manner while understanding the needs of each rider, Argonaut is able to bring their customers a completely bespoke carbon bicycle that’s catered to their individual style.
Putting research into practice requires a ton of input on behalf of the rider. Thankfully Argonaut has flushed out a process for interviewing, measuring, and picking out parts for riders in order to get each bike just right. The options are nearly limitless, and Ben, with his encyclopedic knowledge of all things cycling, drills down what’s going to be best for each customer’s unique cycling needs. This process is certainly more in-depth than what you’re likely to find at your local bike shop, but good things take time. Argonaut spends about 80 hours on each cycle before its shipped out.
Argonaut
From start to finish, the entire process from order to delivery takes about 10-12 weeks, and prices vary from around $12,000 to over $21,000 depending on a myriad of factors, mostly centered around the components you choose. This does tip the scale into luxury services, but with offerings north of $12,000 from Trek, Specialized, Giant, and nearly every other major cycling manufacturer, this price point isn’t as outrageous it might seem.
So if you’re willing to take the step into the custom carbon fiber future of cycling with Argonaut, then the answer to “what can a custom carbon fiber bicycle do for you?” is simple: Exactly what you, and only you, need it to.

Microsoft will extend Windows 7 support in exchange for a monthly fee
Support for Windows 7 officially ends on January 14, 2020, but that date can now be postponed provided you’re willing to pay. In a new blog post, Microsoft has announced that it will continue to offer IT support for Windows 7 in exchange for a monthly fee. This means that if you want to continue receiving security updates for Windows 7 then you’ll need to pay a monthly fee. Microsoft has announced the specific amount yet but has said that it will increase every year.
Doubtless, there are going to be some people who are going to be upset over having to pay in order to receive security updates. On the other hand, this does mean that those organizations who are reluctant to upgrade to Windows 10 will still have an alternative. At least until this promotion ends in 2023.
The blog post says that this extended service option will “be available to all Windows 7 Professional and Windows 7 Enterprise customers in Volume Licensing, with a discount to customers with Windows software assurance.” Based on that wording, we can reasonably assume that this means any individuals who have not upgraded to Windows 8 or 10 will need to do so if they want to continue to receive support and security updates from Microsoft.
Those who don’t want to pay for the extended support can, of course, continue to run Windows 7, but they will be at a higher risk of security vulnerabilities and other issues. Unfortunately, those who do want to upgrade to Windows 10 will have to pay a hefty price. The more affordable Windows 8 is no longer being sold and the free upgrade period for Windows 10 has expired.
It will be interesting to see how this extended support promotion plays out for Microsoft. Currently, more than 38 percent of computers worldwide run on Windows 7. It’s likely that there are going to be some organizations willing to pay for the extended support. On the other hand, there are probably plenty of people who have avoided upgrading due to the cost of the software upgrade. Given that this extended service must be purchased for each device in use, it is likely that some will find it more affordable to simply upgrade to Windows 10.

We’re a virtual company made up of tech experts from across the globe. We live and breathe Android phones, so we’re always on the lookout for the best ways to protect them.
The Samsung Galaxy Note 9 is the largest phone released in 2018, so you might not want to add any extra bulk with a case. Having said that, you probably don’t want to carry around a $1,000 phone with no case whatsoever. That’s where these slim cases can give you the peace of mind you desire without adding unnecessary bulk for your pocket carry.
Some assembly required
Spigen Thin Fit 360
This is the thinnest case that Spigen offers for the Note 9. Designed to preserve the in-hand feel with an extremely minimalist frame that clips together in three parts and comes with a tempered glass screen protector.

Let’s be clear — if you decide to use your Note 9 without a case you’re taking a pretty big gamble with a rather expensive bit of technology. As you can see above, you can keep your Note 9 protected with a slim case for just $10 so there’s no need to take unnecessary risks.
The week of endless notch takes no one cares about
It might shock you to read this, but our collective thoughts on notches hasn’t really moved the needle.
There’s been a lot of chatter about notches this week, which lives in a month and a year full of takes on display cut-outs. The people who aren’t a fan of this display trend are plenty vocal, and as we’ve seen with the Pixel 3 XL leaks the size of the notch is directly related to just how vocal some of us can be. There’s even talk of a grand conspiracy, that this notch couldn’t possibly be real and Google’s going to shock us all in New York next month.
All of this conversation is fascinating, but perhaps more interesting than the vocal rejection of this display design is how little said negativity has impacted adoption. I see notches everywhere these days, from just about every manufacturer. When I wander into a carrier store and listen to people selling phones, the notch almost never gets brought up. It’s simply a thing that exists.
Having a giant phone is was worse than having a phone with a notch.
Some additional anecdotal evidence to throw your way, when I ask friends who buy phones without talking to me why they made this decision, the answer is almost always the same. The notch didn’t matter, because the screen was bigger without making the phone bigger. There’s no need to buy the phone you have to use with two hands when the display extends to the whole body of the phone. For these people in particular, having a giant phone is was worse than having a phone with a notch.
Folks who remember the last Pixel launch will remember the conversation surrounding bezels. The Pixel 2 XL seemed more popular in our comments and forums because the top and bottom bezels were dramatically reduced. Even with the early display problems found with the 2 XL, the larger size and resolution were things that seemed to be the things that mattered. This year, it seems like hardcore fans of Pixel phones are mixed. We’ve got the “no notch” folks much happier with the reduced bezels in the Pixel 3 renders, while throwing shade at the massive cut out on the Pixel 3 XL.
It’s unlikely this conversation is going away anytime soon, and in my opinion that’s a good thing. Samsung seems pretty happy to stick with its unique curved edge to edge display without a notch, while leaks seem to suggest Apple is about to go all in on its notch. OnePlus seems to be ready to distract from the notch with an in-display fingerprint scanner, while LG gives you the ability to hide the notch in software. There’s no single approach to this experience, and no single cut-out design everyone can agree on. It’s a small, and perhaps largely symbolic, thing which makes a lot of different phones in an otherwise homogenous landscape appear unique, and I like that.
Meanwhile, we here at Android Central have a fun week coming up!
- Qualcomm is finally moving the rest of the smartwatch industry forward. I’m going to go ahead and guess out loud that planning its event right before Apple most likely refreshes its watch is no accident. But remember, it’ll probably be a while before anything with this new processor is shipping.
- Speaking of Apple, I’m honestly not sure what to expect. This is an “s” year for Apple, which historically has meant a fairly iterative update. But with the iPhone X, the rules as we knew them kind of got thrown out the window. Should be fun, and of course our friends at iMore are already on the ground.
- Those of you who are fans of our PlayStation 4 content are going to have a lot to read this week. SO many games are launching this month and next, it’s going to be a lot of fun to see everyone’s thoughts on all of this new stuff.
- My very public loathing for the way Epic Games is handling Fortnite on Android has not stopped it from earning 15 Million downloads since launch, which speaks volumes to how insanely popular this game is around the world.
- I get why this exists, but Fortnite Monopoly? Seriously?
- The new season of Iron Fist is way better than the first.
That’s all from me this week. Have a good one!
