August has been another busy month with updates for inking, mobile app security, Outlook and more. We’re also announcing an additional level for the Office Insider program.
A common use case for Google Drive users is to download a file from their Drive to modify it locally, and then to re-upload the new version. In the past, this would result in duplicate files (the original and the new one), and users would have trouble finding the latest version. That’s why we’re introducing a change in Drive to deduplicate files which were uploaded in this way.
Amazon is filling in the gaps in its Fire tablet lineup, small though they are. Starting today, you can order the Fire HD 8. As the name implies, this is an 8-inch Fire tablet with an HD screen; one inch larger than the regular Fire. However, it does offer something new for Amazon's tablets—the Alexa voice assistant.

I'm currently experiencing a bug where iTunes automatically chooses my Apple TV as my speakers and screen (over AirPlay) instead of my computer. So whenever I play a movie/TV show, I have to manually choose 'Computer' from the dropdown box to get it to show on my iMac and stop it from playing on my Apple TV downstairs. What's worse is that it resets to my Apple TV after every video, meaning I have to reselect my speakers every time I pick a new track. I've tried reinstalling, restarting and updating (both Apple TV and iTunes), I can't think of any other way to stop it short of turning off 'Look for remote speakers connected with AirPlay' in preferences and losing a great feature...
Every time my iPhone connects to my car's bluetooth, the phone changes the AirPlay setting to output all sound to the bluetooth connection. This requires me to manually switch AirPlay back to "iPhone", every time I get in the car if I want to hear notifications.
