Google is rolling out a new feature in its Docs that’s designed to make it easier to use its word processor to draft emails, the company has announced. It’s part of Google’s “smart canvas” initiative, which aims to seamlessly weave together the search giant’s productivity software like Meet, Docs, and Gmail. Much like Google Docs’s other smart canvas features, the email draft template is accessed with the @ symbol, before selecting “Email draft” from the context menu…. Source link

Brandon Brown is now choosing to embrace a right-wing slogan that took off after he won at Talladega in October. Less than two weeks ago, the Xfinity Series driver lamented to The New York Times that he was unable to get sponsorship because of the “Let’s go Brandon” meme that had become an inside joke in conservative circles. Thursday, Brown announced a sponsorship for his car from LGBCoin, a cryptocurrency with “no intrinsic value” that’s attempting to profit off of the slogan.  Brown’s… Source link

We overreact to just about everything each week in the NFL. It’s part of the charm.   If you want a perfect formula for a grand overreaction, this was it: A good Dallas Cowboys team playing an incredible game in prime time, piling up 56 points as the offensive stars shined, the defense was dominant and the special teams even made the highlights.

I was lost and in search of myself after hearing the devastating news on Ars Technica: Google Toolbar had been put down by the search giant after nearly 21 years — longer than most projects the company lets live. (A recent newsletter effort didn’t make it past three months). There was no ceremony, no announcement, no moment of silence, nor any closure — just a “no longer available.” That’s what Google has now on its Install Google Toolbar help page; it tells you how to… Source link

One-on-one voice and video calls are now rolling out for Google Chat inside the Gmail app on iOS and Android, Google has announced. The feature was first announced in September, but as of December 6th it’s started rolling out for anyone with Google Workspace, G Suite, or personal Google accounts. It’s previously been possible to start calls from within the Gmail app, but until now it’s involved sending an invite to a Google Meet video conferencing call, which feels excessive for a… Source link

Google is rolling out the ability for kids, teens and their parents to request to have pictures deleted from the company’s image search results. The new privacy option was one of many changes the company announced in August in an effort to preemptively build in additional protections for users under the age of 18. Google’s other planned safeguards included making video uploads private by default, disabling and weed out some “overly commercial” YouTube kids content, including… Source link
