You can set the long date format in Google Calendar, but not the short date format. This plugin does:
Changes the short date format in Google Calendar from [month]/[day] to [day]/[month] or the other way around.
It fixes this long standing bug: formatting – How do I change date format at top of day in Google Calendar? – Web Applications Stack Exchange which was reported in at least these places:
Source: Short Date Format Fix For Google Calendar™ – Chrome Web Store

I’m not the only one with a Mac having issues with Google Chrome Helper CPU usage, but most of the entries are for older Chrome versions. So below are the steps I performed. There are also pros and cons are after the steps.
In chrome://settings/content, under “Plugins”, I ticked “Let me choose when to run plugin content” (it was at “Detect and run important plugin content (recommended)”. That dialog doesn’t allow you to copy it’s content, so no HTML, just this screenshot:
In chrome://plugins/ I disabled this one:
Adobe Flash Player – Version: 20.0.0.267 (Disabled)
Shockwave Flash 20.0 r0
Name: Shockwave Flash
Description: Shockwave Flash 20.0 r0
Version: 20.0.0.267
Location: /Users/jeroenp/Library/Application Support/Google/Chrome/PepperFlash/20.0.0.267/PepperFlashPlayer.plugin
Type: PPAPI (out-of-process)
MIME types:

Pros of these settings:
Cons of these settings:

Google Podcasts might not be what you’re after:
Podcast producers that are not too happy, saying that Google Play is going to downsample and re-encode podcasts down to a minimal 64k of audio quality. That is not good news. – Joe C. Hecht – Google+
Source: I sure am hearing a lot about Google embracing Podcasts, and how it is going to…

I know, friday 13, bla, bla, but this works great! VidCast: Chromecast for the rest of the web.
It works with: Vimeo, TED, and tons of other sites.
The first I tried is was a great half hour Devopsdays Amsterdam 2015 session “Leslie Hawthorn – Fear of Failing Fast: How to Avoid Sabotaging Your Success”
The easiest way is to drag the VidCast bookmarklet button to your bookmarks bar once, then for videos you want to watch:

I needed to perform a LG Nexus 4 Screen Repair & Disassemble – YouTube.
Thanks FixEz.
Tools needed – see also the PDF Nexus 4 Disassembly Guide or Nexus 4 Motherboard Replacement – iFixit.:
Note that something SKU# 5-0721: 16-piece repair toolkit is a good start on this: it contains all but the blow dryer or heat gun.
