Google has started rolling out a small but significant update to Chrome on desktop. Starting today, users will begin seeing an option to organize their tabs vertically. To use the new feature, right click on any Chrome window and select “Show Tabs Vertically.”Google is late to the game here. Before today, every other major browser but Chrome offered support for vertical tabs — though the quality of implementation varies widely. Firefox, for instance, has supported vertical tabs since its 136 update in March of last year, and in my experience, has one of the best interfaces for managing dozens of…

The ability to consolidate workloads into highly optimised, large-scale data centres offers clear advantages in energy efficiency compared to fragmented on-premise environments. Hyperscalers also benefit from access to renewable energy at…
The Lexus ES will return for its eighth generation in June as a rival to the Audi A6 and BMW 5 Series, starting from £59,345 – and be sold exclusively with electric power in the UK. In Western Europe, the ES will be offered with a 199bhp hybrid powertrain as well as two electric options. However, given the greater proportion of EV sales in the UK compared with those in Europe, combustion-engined powertrains won’t be offered here. Instead, the UK-spec ES will be sold from launch in only one form: the front-driven 350e. This packs a single 221bhp motor and a 77kWh lithium ion battery, yielding a range…

The chosen player will get an image of their face placed inside the game as a character portrait and will get the chance to design a logo and the exterior…
