While no one is accessing airport lounges right now (let alone airports in general) due to a global pandemic, travel will return in the months ahead. Airport lounge access is crucial for many travelers, either to relax before a journey ahead or to stay productive and get work done.

American’s Admirals Club lounges are currently either shut down or open with significantly reduced service, depending on the location. However, when people start taking to the skies again, the best ways to access Admirals Clubs is through one specific credit card — the Citi® / AAdvantage® Executive World Elite Mastercard®.

In fact, this is the only card that can get you into Admirals Clubs. While it does come with …

While most major sporting events have been cancelled due to the coronavirus outbreak, football fans are eagerly awaiting the start of the league’s next season this fall. Before then though, the general managers and other NFL team officials will have a chance to choose which college players will join their ranks in the league’s first ever virtual draft.

Up until 2015, New York City was the home of the NFL Draft for 50 years, then the league decided to begin holding the event in a new location each year. This year’s draft was originally scheduled to be held in Las Vegas before the decision was made to implement a virtual selection instead. Now the general managers of all 32 teams will make their picks either online or over the phone from their homes.

To make its virtual draft a reality, the NFL is working with its longtime partner Microsoft who has created a modified version of its Microsoft Teams application which will be used for most of the communication between the league and its t…

Live Caption will soon work with phone calls.
Code found in the third Android 11 Developer Preview shows Google is actively working on the feature.
Turning it on will be accompanied by an automated message informing other participants that the call is being transcribed.

When it launched with Android 10 last year, Live Caption was one of the most exciting new features to come out of the Mountain View giant’s labs. Since then, it’s been extremely popular with users, and Google has been hard at work expanding its availability. Once a Pixel 4 exclusive, the feature was soon ported to older Pixel devices and is now even available on OnePlus and Samsung phones.

However, one of the most significant limitations of the feature, alongside its sparse availability, has been the inability to use the feature with phone calls and video calls, a natural use case for an audio accessibility featur…

It’s a part of “normal restructuring” for the company.

What you need to know

Some OnePlus offices in Europe have been laid off by up to 80%.
The layoffs have occurred in the UK, France, and Germany.
These are part of “strategic restructuring.”

Not too long ago, OnePlus found itself in headlines for launching its new OnePlus 8 and 8 Pro devices. The company is making waves yet again, but this time for a much different reason. According to a report from Engadget, the phone manufacturer has gone ahead with substantial layoffs across various offices in Europe.

Per the report:

According to sources close to the matter, many regional offices — namely UK, France and Germany — have been downsized by as much as 80 percent, leaving skeletal teams of around three people in some countries. Last summer, the teams in Spain and Italy went through the same phase, before being completely laid off eventually. This was followed by a large turnover of UK staff soon afterward.

In the past few weeks, you’ve probably had to cancel your spring break getaway — or maybe even dream trip to Tahiti or Colombia — due to the coronavirus pandemic.

COVID-19 has caused airlines to cancel flights and end routes. Cruise lines around the globe have suspended operations, and hotels are vacant. The outbreak is also forcing the closure of many businesses and the cancellation of major festivals and events worldwide.

You’re likely working from home and physically distancing yourself from others. You’ve probably checked your investments and been … disappointed.

While now is certainly not the time for nonessential travel, it might be a perfect opportunity to think about how you can save …

The iPhone SE deals are flowing already, and in typical fashion Mint Mobile is here to knock the socks off all the other options out there. For a limited time, new customers can get the iPhone SE with service for just $30 per month. That’s right, it’s the phone, financed over 24 months, plus Mint Mobile’s 3GB data plan. You can move to the 8GB plan for $5 more per month, or up to the 12GB one for $10 more per month, making the prices $35 or $40 per month total respectively.

Just because live concerts and performances have been cancelled across the world doesn’t mean the music has to stop. Musicians are filling the void with live online performances and shows that bring you even closer to the action on stage. While many musicians are setting up their own livestreams and recording equipment to put on a show, the Warner Music Group is bringing together past performances of some of its best artists in a livestream event that’s just beginning!

Featuring shows from more than 65 top artists in music today, the 3-day livestream event takes you around the world with past performances from festivals like Bonnaroo and Rock in Rio.
