Google family calendars are now rolling out to users

If you’ve taken advantage of the new Family Group feature from Google, one of the things included is a new family calendar. All members of the family group will automatically be looped into the calendar. Those in the group can add and modify events and rename the calendar. Non-family members can’t be added into the calendar. Calendar sharing has always been available for Google Calendar but this feature will avoid duplicate calendar events for those in the group. It’s not yet live for all users but it should be showing up soon.

You can stream Ariana Grande’s benefit concert on multiple platforms

Following the horrific attack in Manchester, Ariana Grande is coming back with some of her famous friends (Coldplay, Katy Perry, Miley Cyrus, and Pharrell Williams, to name a few) to hold a benefit concert for the city. If you can’t be there, the gig will be live-streamed at 2 p.m. Eastern on Facebook, iHeartRadio, Twitter, and YouTube. Twitter is even including a dedicated donation tab that you’ll be able to see alongside the concert feed. But if you don’t have time or don’t want to catch the concert, you can still donate directly to the British Red Cross’s Manchester fund. All proceeds from the show will go toward the "We Love Manchester Emergency Fund," in partnership with the British Red Cross and Manchester City Council.

LG brings Stylo 3 Plus to the country

The third-generation LG Stylo is now available in Canada. The Stylo 3 Plus brings with it a precision, fine-tip pen that’ll make it easier to jot down notes, doodle, or select items on the device. With its 1.8mm diameter fiber-tip stylus, it promises to give you the feel and feedback of using an actual pen.

Just take out the stylus and your notes will pop on your screen. Pen Keeper helps make sure you don’t lose your stylus as it reminds you when the pen is too far from the phone. And Screen-off Memo lets you take notes on the screen even if the display is turned off.
