Chrome OS to support multiple Google accounts soon

Highlights: Canary channel of Chrome OS gets support for multiple Google accounts. The feature should appear in all Chromebooks soon. New accounts can be added using the account manager.   You may have read reports about Chrome OS getting support for multiple Google accounts around September last year. Well, according to a recent report by Chrome Story, the updated Canary channel of Chrome OS finally has it. What it means is that support for multiple Google accounts will soon roll out even to the Stable version of Chrome OS. When it does, you should be able to add more than one Google account on your Chromebook using the newly added account manager. According to Chrome Story’s report, the account manager is already available on the Canary channel of Chrome OS. For the uninitiated, Chrome and Chrome OS are available in four release channels: Stable (recommended for most regular users), Beta (for those wanting to try features still in development), Dev (for those wanting to experiment some more), and Canary (for those wanting nightly builds). The Canary channel is updated nightly and is the most unstable of the four channels as all new features in development are tested on it. If you have a Chromebook and are on the Canary channel, you can access the account manager by opening Settings, then selecting People, and then selecting Google Accounts. You should then be greeted by a window containing this message as the title: “Manage your Google Accounts in one place”. Once you’ve added more than one Google account, you’ll be asked which account you want to use as default when you open an app (like Gmail) for the first time after that. Chrome OS is a Linux-based operating system developed by Google for use on its proprietary Chromebook devices. All Chromebooks come bundled with Chrome OS. It’s a lightweight operating system that primarily supports web applications. In other words, it’s an operating system designed around the Chrome browser. Like the popular browser, Chrome OS supports Chrome apps from the Chrome Web Store. In 2016, Google introduced Google Play Store support on Chrome OS and has since been trying to create a more seamless experience for Android users.   Related Read: Chrome OS 69 releases with Material Design and brings Linux apps to Chromebooks

First ever drone-delivered kidney is no worse for wear

Drone delivery really only seems practical for two things: take-out and organ transplants. Both are relatively light and also extremely time sensitive. Well, experiments in flying a kidney around Baltimore in a refrigerated box have yielded positive results — which also seems promising for getting your pad thai to you in good kit. The test flights were conducted by researchers at the University of Maryland there, led by surgeon Joseph Scalea. He has been frustrated in the past with the inflexibility of air delivery systems, and felt that drones represent an obvious solution to the last-mile problem. Scalea and his colleagues modified a DJI M600 drone to carry a refrigerated box payload, and also designed a wireless biosensor for monitoring the organ while in flight. After months of waiting, their study was assigned a kidney that was healthy enough for testing but not good enough for transplant. Once it landed in Baltimore, the team loaded it into the container and had it travel 14 ...
