Here’s the list I came up with – all these extensions are free and work on Windows, Mac, and Linux....

This summer, nearly a quarter-century later, we did it again, pulling up stakes and moving from Santa Fe, New Mexico, to Atlanta, Georgia. Coincidentally, that Southwest-to-Southeast move was also about 1400 miles, and we piled into an SUV surrounded by roughly the same number of boxes, but this time we had just one sweet, senior dog to keep us company on the long drive. Despite the distance and driving time similarities, this year’s move was dramatically different from that long-ago adventure....

The central theme of the latter (video) feature was that smartphone batteries like being charged.

Earlier this week, Google surprised everyone by releasing the first Developer Preview of Android O. Unlike Nougat, Android O is not as feature packed as Android Nougat.
