A Space for All Things Chrome, Google, and More!
I haven’t written about virtual desks in some time since the feature has been so close to complete for quite some time now. As a matter of fact, since November, the virtual desks experience has been about 90% complete and available out of the box. No flags have been needed for months to get all […]
Very early on in 2020, we reported on a Chromebook in development – codenamed ‘Drallion’ – that will be sporting a very unique feature that no other Chromebook before it has ever had: a hardware privacy screen. These screens are built to give users the ability to create a physical, visual shield that halts others […]
For a very long time, Chromebook keyboards were one of the primary constants to using a device with Chrome OS. Regardless of the screen size, display type, build materials, trackpad quality or ports, the keyboard layout was one of the main hardware features that remained the same regardless of everything else changing around it.

On this week’s episode of The Chrome Cast, we talk briefly about our collective experiences of working from home and how that has changed not only the way we get work done, but also our perspectives on how well-positioned Chrome, Chrome OS, and the web are to handle the present crisis. We go on after […]

It’s no secret that droves and droves of people are headed home for work. In just a week’s time, the response to the coronavirus pandemic has been unlike anything most of us have ever seen on a global scale. While it is unknown what comes next or how long the present conditions will need to […]
Right up front I’m going to admit that I know very little about this game. My knowledge comes from watching a handful of videos of the multiplayer experience and being interested.
