The NVIDIA Shield TV Pro (2019) is the best Android streaming box that money can buy right now. It comes with a beefy Tegra X1+ chipset and 3GB of RAM, but the internal storage is limited at 16GB. If that doesn’t sound like enough storage space for your media needs, you can make use of the NVIDIA Shield TV’s USB ports and mount an external storage device to easily expand your available storage.

Retro-styled platformers are alive and well on mobile, thanks to developers like NEUTRONIZED. They’re the folks behind the popular Super Cat Tales series which is as fun to play as it is cute to look at.

Their latest mobile release, Mineblast!!, is a challenging physics-based platformer where you play as a miner trapped in an underground mine. You must use your limited supply of dynamite to dig for gems, blast through rocks, and destroy pesky enemies.

As always, I absolutely adore old-school graphics and the accompanying chiptune soundtrack. I could honestly leave the app open all day and just enjoy the level music on repeat.

In terms of Mineblast!!’s gameplay, I’ve found it really takes time to get familiar with the game’s physics and how to master the controls. You get on-screen buttons for controlling your character’s movement and dropping or throwing dynamite. If you’re moving when you press the dynamite button you’ll toss it in the same direction your character is headed,… 閱讀全文 →

Chromebooks can support Android apps, and also offer Bluetooth connectivity — ergo I must be able to connect a gaming controllers to a Chromebook to play my favorite Android games! Well, not so fast. Bluetooth is too unreliable to use for gaming on Chromebooks, so a wired controller is preferred. Good news is you might already own a controller that will work, and there are great controllers available that will work great.

A retro-styled classic

8Bitdo SN30 Pro

Staff pick

The 8Biitdo SN30 Pro is a perfectly portable controller that’s designed to work with Android, Windows, and even Nintendo Switch. I would still stick with the wired version here because it’s more reliable and Bluetooth connections are fraught with issues.

If you’re buying a drone for a kid — or really anyone who has never owned or flown a drone before — there are a few considerations you want to keep in mind: cost, size, range, and durability. If you’re buying for a young one, you’ll definitely want to keep the first three down, but that will invariably also affect the drone’s durability as well. Crashing is part of the learning process, so all of our options include built-in blade guards. These are what you’d consider toy drones, but they’re super fun to fly.

Best answer: No. While Google adjusted the Chromecast lineup in 2019 by discontinuing the Chromecast Audio, both the 3rd Generation Chromecast and 4K-ready Chromecast Ultra are still widely available and supported.

The future-proof 4K dongle: Google Chromecast Ultra ($69 at Amazon)
Best value for non-4K TVs: Google Chromecast (3rd Gen) ($35 at Amazon)

There are two Chromecasts available (but there’s only one you should buy)

Google has released three versions of the standard Chromecast, starting with the original Chromecast streaming stick that was released back in 2013. Google would refresh the Chromecast lineup in 2015, which is when they revealed the disc-dongle design that it has defined Google’s streaming devices ever since.

The 3rd Generation Chromecast still works great, but if interested in buying a new Chromecast in 2020, you should really only consider getting the Chromecast Ultra. The Ultra is the crown jewel in the Chromecast lineup, offering support for 4K and HDR a… 閱讀全文 →

Not only are LED smart bulbs more energy-efficient than traditional incandescent bulbs, but you’ll feel like Tony Stark walking through your home controlling the lighting with just your voice. Google Home is one of the tentpole home assistant platforms, so of course, there are a plethora of smart bulb brands eager to get that “works with Google” badge. The question you need to ask yourself as a consumer is how many bulbs you need for your home and how much are you willing to spend?

Full-feature smart lights

To experience the best that smart LED lights can offer, you’ll want to start with ones that are entirely customizable with the full spectrum of colors available. Because these bulbs are way more expensive than any light bulb you’ve probably bought in your life — and often require a dedicated smart hub to relay between the bulbs and your home network — you’re going to want to choose a brand that can satisfy all your smart lighting needs or piece together your house plan with bu… 閱讀全文 →
