One of the most frustrating things for me about the new Google Chat and its Spaces is that several core functionalities are missing that were present in Hangouts. I mean, if you use it at all, you’re probably already painfully aware of the fact that you can’t edit messages, you only recently became able to […]
What’s one of the features that Google Docs is missing in your opinion? What’s that, you say the ability to add a watermark to your document? I thought that was already available! Wasn’t that something that most services have had since the early 2000s? Nope. Google Docs is actually adding it in 2022, and it […]

While not widely discoverable, you could previously Google search your favorite celebrities and be informed on a few topics by them via something called Cameos.

Until now, Google Chat on the web has had very limited tools for adding any sort of emphasis to your messages – absolutely nothing. You’d type something out and hit enter to send it. The Android app, on the other hand, has had a full suite of formatting options, and the experience across the two […]
At Google’s Cloud Next event last year, it announced that it was going to find new ways to protect users against spam and abusive practices of its services. The entire year was filled with Calendar and Drive spam among other things where suspicious events, files, and more were randomly appearing in accounts across the globe. […]
I love drawing and taking notes on my Chromebooks. Whether it’s Google’s new Cursive application, my favorite app of all time, Google Keep, or even something like Artflow Studio, Sketchbook Pro, or Adobe Sketch, I’m addicted to finding the best method for placing my thoughts and creative energy into digital formats without having to rely […]

Youtube has always worked on a strictly month-to-month subscription tier, but as of today, it’s adding a new option for a once per year payment. If you’re interested in re-upping your plan with Youtube Premium or Youtube Music Premium, you can now do so annually. A new splash page for the offer is now appearing […]
Have you ever wanted to see a list of every company that’s in possession of your personal data like your email address, name, date of birth, and even your precise location?
