Google’s new feature to help you avoid editing important work documents with your private account

You wouldn’t exactly want your co-workers or client to know your personal email accounts, now would you? Especially if they show a side of you that you wouldn’t want them to know. Well, Google is hoping to come to your rescue with a new “account awareness” feature. This new account switching tool is coming to Docs, Slides, and Sheets. It’s still accessible at the top right corner of your account. But instead of showing you the list of accounts you have, you see a small box with the text “You’re currently signed in as [x].” And if you want to see your other accounts, you can click on “Change account” at the bottom of the pop-up.

All G Suite editions will have this feature on by default. Those with the rapid release domains will get the new switcher in 15 days or less, while those with scheduled release domains will get this later this month.

Apple discontinues the 12-inch MacBook

With the upgrades done to the likes of the MacBook Air and MacBook Pro, it seems like the right time to discontinue on old, possibly redundant Apple MacBook. And so we say goodbye to the 12-inch model. This laptop was first introduced back in 2015, and it’s the first model to bring in a new era of MacBook design. It was the first to offer USB-C, the first to introduce the controversial and problematic butterfly keyboard, and the first to not have a glowing Apple logo in years. As Engadget points out though, the recently refreshed Air made the MacBook a bit of an outlier. It was thinner and lighter than any computer in Apple’s lineup, but it was severely underpowered compared to the rest of Apple’s lineup.

‘Stranger Things 3’ breaks Netflix streaming views since its July 4th premiere

Netflix

Netflix is proudly showing off that it breaks another one of its own streaming records with the latest season of Stranger Things. Since its debut on July 4^th, the third season of the show has been seen by over 40.7 million Netflix accounts, with over 18 million having finished the whole season in the first four days. It’s now the most-viewed show of any kind on the service. Netflix treats these views as anyone who has watched at least 70 percent of an episode or movie. Netflix didn’t specify which region gained the most viewership. For context, Umbrella Academy, one of Netflix’s recent big TV show releases, took a month to reach 45 million account views.
