Appointment Slots, the corporate offering, looks dated compared to Appointment Schedule. It’s also much less configurable—you can’t add custom question fields, for example, and there’s no way to automatically add a video call. So, to review: Individual Google users, basically anyone with an @gmail.com email address, can pay to upgrade to Google Workspace Individual. This includes the Appointment Schedule feature, which compares reasonably well with Calendly. Business Google users,… Source link

TCL 6-Series Google TV review: a great Mini LED TV at a good price

TCL’s first Google TVs were supposed to be a triumphant flex for the second most popular TV manufacturer in the US. Long known for its easy-to-use Roku TVs, TCL has been trying to push the message that it’s adopting a platform-agnostic approach and will offer sets with software from either Roku or Google. (The company has already released many Android TV models internationally.) So with the latest update to its 6-Series — model name R646 — TCL set out to blend its best TV… Source link

Brandon Staley’s Joey Bosa decision for Chargers is good

  In a perfect world, Brandon Staley will be the coach the Chargers franchise has been searching for for nearly its entire existence. He’ll finally get the team back to the Super Bowl, and even win it. It may not happen this year, especially since it’s been over 30 years since a rookie head coach won the Super Bowl, and George Seifert’s 49ers still had Joe Montana and Jerry Rice. It may not happen next year. But if Staley has success, it will hopefully lead to the NFL — a league that has a… Source link
