| DEAL: Verizon Galaxy S9 is $519.99 and S9+ is $639.99 at Samsung Store, No Trades Required Posted: 19 May 2018 12:04 PM PDT ![]() Best Verizon Galaxy S9 and S9+ deals are at Samsung's Store.A few weeks back, we told you that the Samsung Store was the best place to buy your Galaxy S9 or Galaxy S9+ because no matter what, they were selling models for the same price. What they've done is match the carrier variants to the unlocked prices (which are the lowest priced models), so if you buy the AT&T or Verizon models from Samsung directly, you actually get a discount. With that in mind, Samsung is now offering an additional $200-off discount on the Verizon Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9+ at the moment. Right now, you can get Verizon Galaxy S9 for $519.99 or a Verizon Galaxy S9+ for $639.99. When compared to Verizon prices, you are looking at $280 and $290 discounts, respectively. That's incredibly cheap for phones this feature-packed. As an additional note: these discounts are straight discounts on the phone. You don't have to trade anything in. All you have to do is buy them with a device payment plan and you get the cheap $519 and $639 prices. For the S9, that's a monthly payment of $21.67. For the S9+, that's a monthly payment of $26.67. Of course, Samsung still has their instant-discount trade-in program going to, so if you do have a decent phone to trade, you could really drop the price of the S9 or S9+ to just a few hundred bucks.

| Google Play Music Subscribers: You Get Both YouTube Music and YouTube Premium Posted: 19 May 2018 12:04 PM PDT ![]() With the announcements of YouTube Music Premium and YouTube Premium, there has been some confusion surrounding the level of access that will be available to Google Play Music subscribers, as well as the price they'll pay going forward. Google has tried to make everything as clear as possible, but with so many pieces involved in this awkward transition, people still have questions. So, we have answers for you. If you are a Google Play Music subscriber, this is what you need to know about YouTube Music and YouTube Premium:

| Posted: 19 May 2018 12:04 PM PDT Sennheiser’s a well-established name in the audio industry, and it should come as no surprise that its active noise cancellation-equipped HD1 Bluetooth headphones, at a $500 MSRP, are very good. We saw the HD1s fall to $399 back in September of last year, then to $350 last December. But Amazon’s current price of $314.04 is the lowest we’ve seen in some time, and the HD1s might be worth your consideration. As you might expect at this price point, the HD1s are top-notch in multiple regards. The closed-back, around-ear design allows for your ears to be surrounded in leather and padded with memory foam. The sound quality is nothing short of fantastic. The NoiseGard hybrid active noise cancellation works well, even if it’s not quite as polished as Bose’s. And it promises a not-unsubstantial 22 hours of battery life. A carrying case and a two-year warranty are included with the purchase. $314 is the lowest price these headphones have been in quite some time. It’s worth noting that only the black color is this severely discounted; the Ivory version is still sitting at $360. Shipping is free. Hit the source link below if you’d like to pick a pair up.

| 3 of our favorite tech sales, discounts, and deals this week Posted: 19 May 2018 12:04 PM PDT ![]() Deal-hunting online is one of those seemingly harmless, fun pursuits that can quickly get out of hand. That tricky-to-satisfy urge to make sure you’re getting the best value around is not at all helped by the existence of deals that come and go in a flash, tempting you to make some purchasing decisions right on the spot. While we’ve seen a few of those more ephemeral deals pass by this week, some sales have still managed to stick around, allowing you to make up your mind at a much more comfortable pace. Yeah, you read that right. While we’re used to deals that are along the line of "buy big item, get free dinky little add-on," LG is seriously upping its promo game with an offer to award new G7 buyers a free 43-inch 4K TV. There’s one big asterisk on this deal, and that’s because it’s just for Canada. Not only do they get all that delicious poutine, but also this very tempting offer. Shoppers need only pre-order the G7 by the end of the month from participating retailers or carriers to qualify, and it’s not even limited to one per household — if the whole family wants new G7s, you can score up to four free TVs. Color us jealous. Part of this one’s real fresh on our mind, as it was just a few hours ago that we told you about Samsung’s fantastic prices on its latest flagships for Verizon users. There’s a decent $640 offer for the Galaxy S9+, and even a solid deal on last year’s Note8, but the real stand-out is the Galaxy S9 itself for a mere $520 on Verizon’s installment plan. But these aren’t the only Samsung Galaxy deals to cross our path this week, and we also spotted an attractive offer on a dual-SIM international GS9+ for just about $700. If dual-SIM support matters a lot to you (and full coverage of US LTE bands matters less), this could be just what you’re looking for. And no pressure, but if you take the plunge by Sunday you can also pick up a free Google Home Mini. Setting up a smart home can be daunting — if you plan to do it right, there can be a LOT you need to buy, and all those smarts doesn’t make any of this hardware particularly cheap. Thankfully, there are very much deals out there if you can find them, and quite a few of them are available at Amazon right now. You can pick up Lumos connected light bulbs for $17 a pop, or go the combo route with two Lumos bulbs and a Genie smart speaker for $55. And if your burgeoning smart home is already well-lit and full of sound, Amazon’s also got a Eufy smart scale on sale for $35. The timetables on these offers vary, but you’ve got until mid-to-late next week to reap their rewards.

| Steam Link for Android hands-on: A nearly effortless game-streaming solution Posted: 19 May 2018 12:04 PM PDT ![]() A few days ago, Valve released the beta version of the Steam Link app for Android. This means that you can play your Steam library right on your phone, and it’s pretty great. Though it’s by no means a new concept – we’ve seen it before with Sony and Nvidia devices – it doesn’t require either a PlayStation or a GeForce graphics card. All you need is a Steam library and your phone on the same network, plus a controller, and you’re good to go. In-Home Streaming has been around for a while, and even the Steam Link name isn’t new, but this is just another way to play your games away from your main machine. With summer coming up, that’s not that bad of an idea — having a powerful gaming PC in an apartment with no A/C equals a very hot office, so if I can still play my games but be in a cooler room at the same time, I’m down. I tested the Steam Link Android app in a variety of configurations with my Steam and Shield Controllers, using both Windows and Linux (Ubuntu) as the host operating systems. Basic useIf you have a Steam Controller, then you’ll need to update the firmware to enable Bluetooth. Activate Big Picture and a prompt should appear; just plug in the controller and let it do its thing. Once it’s finished, connect it to your phone or other Android device and open the app. In theory, Steam Link should find your computer, so long as it’s on the same network and the Steam program is running — this is true for both Windows and Linux. However, on almost every phone I tried (excluding the Mate 10 Pro), the app couldn’t find my PC, so I had to enter my local IP address instead. Once everything is linked up, you’re ready to go. For ease of use, I recommend starting the game on your host machine, because Steam Link acts like a remote desktop viewer unless you’re in Big Picture (the physical Steam Link could do this, too). If you’re familiar with the Steam Controller, then you’ll know it’s not well-suited to first-person shooters; as a matter of fact, it can be downright awful in some circumstances. I tested Destiny 2, Overwatch, and Doom (2016) and while playable, I was not too thrilled with how it handled them. Granted, I don’t play shooters with a controller, but no matter how I tweaked the settings, I had a hard time. So if you’re planning to play FPS games primarily, then I’d suggest something different like a Moga Pro or something similar. Since this isn’t a review of the Steam Controller, let’s move on. Latency overall was surprisingly minimal; I tried playing in different areas of my apartment and didn’t notice any difference. But for every game I tested, I started off by sitting at my desk with my Pixel 2 XL on a phone stand under my main monitor. Side-by-side, I couldn’t see any input lag or other noticeable signs of latency between the two displays. If you’re using an 18:9 phone, you’ll notice that you’ll have black boxes on either side of the game window. It’s understandable, but definitely noticeable. Your mileage may vary on what resolution and framerate you can get, but if you’re having trouble, try lowering the graphics settings. If your network isn’t strong, then you’ll struggle a lot here. For those of you who don’t know, you can add non-Steam games to your library. This is especially good for people like me who play titles that use other platforms like Battle.net or Origin, which is how I was able to try out Overwatch and Destiny 2 with this app. And for the sake of completeness, I also tested connecting to my home network via a VPN. I used my Verizon connection and tried to load up Steam Link, but it didn’t go so well. Most of the time, I was left with a black screen that acted like a remote desktop, even if Steam was running in Big Picture on my host PC. It loaded up on a couple of occasions, but the latency was so high that the couple of games I got to try were unplayable. So, unfortunately, this is not a reliable method by which you can stream your Steam library to a client machine outside of your home network. Games I tested:
Phones I used:
Shield TV: Steam Link versus Nvidia GameStreamOne of the first things many thought of when this was announced was throwing it on an Android TV box and getting the couch gaming experience. For those of you who don’t have a Shield TV, this must have been great news indeed. For those of us that do have Nvidia’s Android TV box, Steam Link doesn’t seem to offer much that we don’t already have — if you’re a part of the Nvidia GPU family, that is. Currently, Shield TV owners can use GameStream, which streams a game from the host PC to the Shield exactly like Steam Link does. However, there are certain “optimized” titles, some 300 of them last I checked, but that can’t even cover the scope of the PC game library. You can set Steam as a GameStream option, which then allows you to play any of your Steam games on your Shield. So, in light of this, Link feels a bit redundant on Nvidia’s platform, but I went ahead and gave it a shot anyway. Let’s first talk about ease of use. Nvidia requires that you have the GeForce Experience program installed on your Windows PC. This program reads your installed games for “optimized” versions, which you can then see over on your Shield. Select one, let it start up, and get to playing (assuming you have a Shield controller or whatnot). All in all, it’s a fantastic experience with options for an onscreen keyboard and streaming/recording. Steam Link works on Windows, Mac, and Linux, and since I spend 99% of my time in Ubuntu, Valve’s solution, for me, already starts to win out for streaming to my living room TV. I can still use my Shield Controller, which is fantastic since it’s much better for first-person shooters. However, Link does have stability issues and some games don’t want to recognize the controller and switch control schemes — for example, Destiny 2 works amazingly on GameStream, but it was a poor experience on Steam Link since the game still thought I was using a keyboard and mouse. As far as latency goes, Link and GameStream appear indistinguishable. I strongly prefer the convenience and user-friendliness of GameStream’s UI, but at the same time, I like the flexibility of Steam Link more. If forced to choose, though, I’d probably take Nvidia’s solution at this point in time; it doesn’t crash or encounter nearly as many problems as Link did. ChromebooksFor this scenario, I tested Steam Link with the Acer Chromebook Spin 11 (review coming soon), which is all I have at my disposal currently. Unlike the phone and Shield TV experience, this wasn’t pleasant. Linking to my PC was just like I had to do with my phones, but I was either confined to the small Android app container window or a very glitchy large one that ultimately crashed each time I attempted to use it. Since Android apps on Chromebooks are still kind of hit-or-miss, I can’t honestly say that I’m too surprised. Valve did point out when I launched Steam Link on the Spin 11 that my device had not been verified to work, so at least there’s a warning beforehand. Corbin also tried this out on his Asus Chromebook Flip C302, a much beefier computer, but his results were relatively inconsistent since both his C302 and gaming PC were on a wireless mesh network. Perhaps Valve will see the value in this use case and improve support in the final release. ConclusionFor a beta, I’m extremely impressed. On my phones, I only encountered a couple of crashes and a few embarrassingly bad games of Overwatch. The only major disappointment was Chromebook performance, or lack thereof, but I cannot honestly say that I’m surprised by that. Considering that this is a free service and only requires that you purchase a controller to connect to your phone (if you don’t already have one), Steam Link is a winner in my book. It doesn’t matter whether you have an AMD or Nvidia GPU, as long as you have the raw horsepower and network strength, you’re golden. Even being able to stream my Linux games to my Shield TV is amazing since I’m rarely ever in Windows these days. I’d like to see Valve improve the PC discovery, since it’s highly recommended that the host be on a wired connection — I don’t mind having to input my local IP address in the app, but it’s still somewhat inconvenient when it supposedly searches for machines running Steam on the network. I also had trouble with updating the firmware on my Steam Controller to allow for Bluetooth pairing, since the prompt never showed up and I had to go into the settings to find the option to manually update, but that’s more of a desktop client issue than a mobile app one. Ideally, though, I think taking advantage of the Chromebook possibilities would be hugely beneficial. And as much as I’d like to see this work outside of my home network, I understand the severe limitations in place. While services like GeForce Now are great, they have the backing of massive servers and bandwidth; it’s safe to say that all but a very select few consumers have that kind of resources available to them, thus why the concept of GeForce Now and others like it is so appealing. But if any one company out there could make it work, it’s Valve. If you already have the setup for Steam Link, then I definitely recommend trying this out.

| How to download Google Chrome offline installers Posted: 19 May 2018 12:04 PM PDT ![]() A net installer is downloaded to your system when you hit the download Chrome button on the official Google Chrome download page. A net installer, as the name implies, requires a network connection during setup as it needs to contact Google servers to download the browser’s components for installation. The installers provide advantages to both the user and Google but also some disadvantages. On the positive side, whenever you run the installer, the latest version of Google Chrome gets downloaded and installed. Offline or full Chrome installers are linked to a specific version which may be outdated. While that is not the end of the world thanks to Chrome’s automatic updating system, it still means that you will have to check for updates on first launch to make sure the latest version is installed. Google benefits from net installers as well as it gets more data about the installation process. The installer requires an Internet connection and Google gets data during installation such as the date of installation, information about the system or if the installation fails. Downsides to net installers are that you cannot install them on offline machines, that you may run into issues installing them on devices with slow Internet connections, and that net installers are not ideal if you want to install the browser on multiple machines as you would download it for each device individually instead of just once. Google Chrome offline installers
Google does not link to full installers on the official download page of the Chrome web browser. but it highlights how you can download an offline installer for Windows on this Support page. Use the following links to download full versions of the Chrome web browser to your computer system. As you can see when you look at the links, it is important to pass the parameter standalone with the value 1, and the channel if you want to download Beta, Dev or Canary versions of Google Chrome.
A click on the download button downloads the full version of the selected Chrome edition to your system. The file has a size of nearly 50 Megabytes and highlights that it is the full version of Chrome in its name as well. The installer does not require an Internet connection during setup so that you may install it without having to worry about being connected to the Internet and about the stability of the Internet connection. Note: A 32-bit version of Chrome is not offered anymore by Google. Some sites link to 32-bit download pages but the downloads redirect to the 64-bit Chrome installation file instead. Closing WordsGoogle does not link to the full Chrome installer on the official download page and many users probably don’t know even that an offline installer is available as well. Now You: Do you prefer to download offline installers? Summary ![]() Article Name How to download Google Chrome offline installers Description Find out how to download the full offline installer of the Google Chrome web browser and not the net installer from the Google website.
