- Making your own plates. Like many government services, the Oregon Department of Motor Vehicles has reduced services during the pandemic. But one driver worked out his own solution. The Washington County Sheriff’s Office released a photo of the driver’s new license plate after the car was pulled over. It was hand-written, made of cardboard, and showed “DMVCLOSED” for the license number, plus “12” and “21” in the corners where the month and year would go on actual plates. The sheriff’s office gave the man points for creativity, but asked people not to do this, adding it’s OK to leave expired plates on your car until the DMV reopens.

- 1 Reason to quit FB. There is some good that comes from Facebook, but one of the biggest reasons to quit: it’s a giant time-suck.

- Twitter Audio Tweets. Twitter is getting vocal with a brand new feature that will enable users to share their thoughts with audio recordings. The process to sending a voice tweet is similar to sharing a standard one: open the composer and tap a new ‘wavelength’ icon. Users will then see their profile photos with a record button at the bottom of the screen to initiate a voice memo. Each audio tweet can be a maximum of 140 seconds. Once the time limit is reached, a new voice tweet will start automatically in order to generate a thread. Threads can contain a maximum of 25 voice tweets. Once finished recording, users can re-listen to their voice tweets before publishing. … Twitter says voice tweets will appear on timelines alongside existing tweet formats. Audio playback will start in a new window docked at the bottom of the timeline so that users can continue to scroll through Twitter — or even depart the app entirely — and continue to listen. As of now, voice Tweets are only available on iOS — and to a limited group of testers. Twitter says a wider rollout is slated for coming weeks.
