Take that, Kyrie Irving!…
Perhaps in a bid to win over Flat-Earthers, when zoomed out in Google Maps, you’ll see a round Earth instead of a flat map.

View Your friend’s battery status with Google Maps’ location sharing
Because Sharing is Caring!…
Google Map’s Location Sharing just received an update that allows you to view your location sharer’s battery status.
Why? Well, if your friend’s battery goes dead, the phone, and it’s location information, is sure to follow. At least, armed with this foreknowledge, you’ll know why they went off the grid and not take it personally.
Cheers!

Google Calendar Improvements include Out-of-Office
An update to Google Calendar is rolling out soon that will allow you to add Out-of-Office time to your calendar. Invites received during this time will be automatically declined with the message of your choice (or no message at all, but isn’t that rude?)
Also included with this enhancement is a more flexible ‘working hours’ settings. Currently you can only set one repeating block of working time. The enhanced calendar will allow for different set hours on different days, which works well for those with flex-time schedules.
This update will first appear for the paying (G-Suite) customers in the next few days, and roll out to the rest of us shortly after.
Cheers!
