Not bad for a first go on desktop, Samsung.

We’re all out of it. How to get it back is an open secret Opinion  When the first generation of microcomputers landed on desktops, they promised many things. Affordability, flexibility, efficiency, all the good things still selling IT to this day. Mostly, though, they offered control.…

Chromebooks let you personalize your screen with images stored on your device. Changing the wallpaper from Files takes seconds and makes your computer feel more personal. The Files app gives you direct access to any picture saved on your Chromebook.

It’s finally here, and I love it.

When the NotebookLM mobile app first launched, it was a great companion piece to the web experience. It was primarily focused on letting you access your sources and listen to Audio Overviews while on the go. The “real” work of interacting, creating, and studying was largely left to the desktop.

One of the most powerful AI features we’ve seen recently is “grounding”—the ability for an AI to connect to your personal data (like in Gmail or Drive) to give you answers based on your stuff, not just the open web.

For a long time, reactions in Google Meet have been a bit limited. While useful, the small, curated set of emojis often left you searching for a reaction that wasn’t there. Want to send a “mind blown” emoji or a “party face”? You were out of luck.

Chromebooks have been gaining more attention as lightweight, affordable laptops. While many still see them as simple machines for browsing or writing, the truth is that they can do a lot more. One area where people are often unsure is entertainment.
