Whoops! Google just sent out a Nest email yesterday that may have accidentally included its new ‘Pixel Buds A’. You know, the new earbuds that they’re developing with their newly acquired 3D audio company Dysonics?

Let’s be honest, the old Google Drive Backup & Sync option (which still exists) is not reliable. That’s been my experience, at least. It constantly failed to synchronize hundreds of files and continued to get stuck retracing its steps each time I would turn my PC on. Google Drive File Stream is much more reliable […]
