Everything works fine until you try to change everything.Multi-device support is coming to WhatsApp in the near future, and that's not just a rumor. It was confirmed by Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg and WhatsApp CEO Will Cathcart in early June. It's also one of the most-anticipated features WhatsApp users have been waiting for, and the company is beginning to test the feature, according to WABetaInfo.People have wished that WhatsApp could work on more than one device since the app grew in popularity more than half a decade ago. Not because everyone has more than one phone they use every day, though more people than you may think have both a personal phone and a work phone, but because people want to use WhatsApp on tablets or Chromebooks. As more people are connected more often through alternative devices, the smartphone can see less time in hand.To make matters worse, people can look to other services like Telegram or iMessage and see that chatting can be done using the same ac...

There are two parts to building a NAS server. First up is the enclosure itself — we've already highlighted the best Prime Day NAS deals — and once you have that sorted out, you'll need to pick up hard drives to slot into the NAS.Thankfully, Prime Day has a few decent deals for NAS-focused hard drives, so whether you're buying a NAS for the first time and need storage or are looking to buy additional hard drives to increase the storage of your enclosure, these are the best deals. I have dozens of hard drives from all major manufacturers, and in this post I'm recommending drives that I've used in my own NAS enclosures for at least three years or more. Essentially, these are the best hard drives for NAS enclosures.There's one point to note here: hard drives that are 6TB or more are still very limited in availability, so you won't find these drives on sale for Prime Day. However, if you're looking for drives between 1TB and 6TB, there are plenty of great deals available right now....

Pricing and availability is yet to be confirmed. Samsung has quietly listed a new entry-level Chromebook model on its website, dubbed the Galaxy Chromebook Go.

As millions of us continue to learn and work from home, Prime Day deals will make a great time to replace your aging desktop or add another Chromebook to your family's collection. Most of the best Chromebooks have been available for over a year now, which means that deals are much more likely this year than they were last year — when we were also in the midst of the 2020 Chromebook shortage.Part of why Chromebooks have (almost) always had great deals on Prime Day is that mid-range Chromebooks come down to budget prices, and budget Chromebooks come down to impulse-buy prices. Considering that Chrome OS is designed to run on more affordable hardware to begin with, and that means that Prime Day is the best time to get a laptop, especially a budget laptop. Premium Chromebooks like the Samsung Galaxy Chromebook are already seeing deep discounts ahead of Prime Day, so you can grab a great Chromebook and have it in time for Prime Day on Monday.No matter your budget this Prime Day, Goo...
