Chrome for Android Has Dark Mode–Here’s How to Turn it On

Flow is Microsoft’s attempt at giving you the kind of automation for notifications, alerts, data gathering, and communication that will help you spend less time on boring but necessary admin work and more time on interesting (and productive) things. Think of Flow as IFTTT , but with a slant towards the office rather than IoT or hardware. Flow allows you to create “flows” (short for “workflows”) that are based on trigger events. For example, you could create a flow that would download the responses to a Microsoft Forms questionnaire to Dropbox regularly, or post a messa...
