| These are the accessories you want for your Nintendo Switch Posted: 22 Oct 2018 12:04 PM PDT Your Nintendo Switch is going to come with everything you need to jump in and start playing, whether you’re connected to a television or playing mobile, but there’s a lot more to this console. There’s never really been a game console quite like this before, and with that in mind, there are some accessories out there that you might not normally think of. Whether your gaming on the go or planted on your couch, here are the best accessories for your Nintendo Switch. Skip the dockTNP Nintendo Switch to HDMI AdapterInstead of packing that big old Dock, plus the power supply, get TNP’s HDMI adapter. It’s got a USB-C cable to connect to your Switch, plus a USB-C port, a USB-A port, and an HDMI port so you can connect all of your needed travel peripherals, including a portable battery pack. Chat on your phone, game on your SwitchSteelSeries Arctis 3 BluetoothThe Arctis 3 is capable of combining audio from two different devices. So, you can plug them directly into your Switch for in-game audio, plus connect them to your iPhone via Bluetooth so you can talk to friends through your preferred online chat channels like Discord. Look good on the goWaterfield Arcade gaming caseThe Arcade Gaming Case is a beautiful designer bag made of full-grain leather (let me tell you, this leather feels so nice!) with a soft plush lining. It’s big enough to fit your Switch tablet (with the Joy-Cons detached), a Hori Compact PlayStand, your Joy-Cons, all your necessary cables, and more. Go proNintendo Switch Pro ControllerNot only is the look and feel similar to what exists right now for the Wii U, but the Switch Pro Controller is going to offer a bigger battery and has an NFC receiver baked in for Amiibo support. It’s also ready for motion controls as well. Keep it chargedNyko Charge Block ProIf you’re going to get a Pro Controller, you might as well go all in and get the nice charging dock Nyko makes for it. Normally the Pro Controller charges over USB-C, but this dock gives you a set of magnetic pins instead. You just drop the Controller in the dock when not in use, and that way it’s always charged when you need it. Double the joyExtra Joy-ConsI know, you could just get a Pro Controller instead of dropping another $70 on these, but depending on your needs it might be a better investment to get a second pair of Joy-Cons because you can split them into four controllers for epic multiplayer games. Charge them Cons!Orbeet Joy-Con ChargerYour Joy-Cons don’t have a charger outside of what you get on the actual Nintendo Switch, and that can be a problem if you’ve got multiple pairs of controllers and don’t always connect them to your console. Fortunately, Orbeet makes a nice 4-in-1 charger with 2 additional USB ports for charging Pro Controllers. Cover that dockSwitch Dock SockA number of talented folks out there have started making and selling simple cloth covers for the front part of Nintendo Switch Docks, adding a little bit of style and protection to your setup. There are a bunch of different designs, but more importantly they keep the Switch display from being accidentally scratched by the plastic edges of the Switch Dock. Get a gripJoy-Con HandlesMyriann makes a cover for your Joy-Con controllers that make them more like a mini version of the Grip for each side. The horizontal design makes it easy for you to access the L and R buttons, which is important for drifting and throwing items in Mario Kart Deluxe 8. Just like a tabletThe hybrid coverBD&A offers a snap-on folio that covers the display when not in use and gives the Switch a few more options when in its kickstand mode for portable gameplay. If you plan to travel a lot with your Switch, this is perfect for keeping it safe. Travel officiallyOfficial Switch Travel CaseThe official Nintendo-made case lets you store a Switch with a Joy-Con and offers a 3DS-style elastic holster that stores up to 14 game cards. It also comes with a microfiber cleaning cloth, which probably has the Switch logo on it somewhere. For $15, you can’t ask for much more. Card carrying memberGame Card CaseHORI makes a slim Game Card Case that holds 24 games, which should take you a little while to fill up. It even has space for memory cards, just in case you need to swap. Raise it upHori Compact PlaystandHORI’s $13 Compact Playstand raises the Switch up off the ground with a cutout for the charging cable so you can keep your game going while it’s juicing up. Plus, the stand collapses down flat so you can take it on the go without it taking up too much space. Get wiredNintendo Ethernet AdapterSome of us don’t want Wi-Fi getting in the way of our online gameplay, and while Switch doesn’t offer an Ethernet port in the tablet itself there’s a way to make sure you’re wired when connected to the dock. This adapter will keep you off of those unstable wireless connections and ready to game on a good old LAN. There is a whole wide world of accessories out there for your Nintendo Switch. Getting the stuff you need to make your Switch experience your own can make your gaming life just a little bit better! This post may contain affiliate links.

| Google’s Digital Wellbeing Arrives on Google Home With Downtime and Filters Posted: 22 Oct 2018 12:04 PM PDT Google is really big on this whole Digital Wellbeing thing, where they want to give you the tools to help you disconnect a bit more from the technology around you. First starting with smartphones, they are now expanding Digital Wellbeing to Google Home products. The rollout of Digital Wellbeing to Google Home started today, with Google posting support pages on how to get everything setup. And to set everything up, you'll do so within the Google Home app. Google says to head into the Google Home app, tap on your Account tab, then "your structure," and then Digital Wellbeing. From within there, you will be able to setup Downtime schedules or Filters. What the hell is Downtime and Filters, you ask? They are:
To get started, grab the latest Google Home app and then be on the lookout for that Digital Wellbeing section. For other FAQ on Google Home Digital Wellbeing, hit up this link.

| Save Your Neighborhood From a Spirit Invasion in Ghostbusters World Posted: 22 Oct 2018 12:04 PM PDT A new game is available on Google Play this week, Ghostbusters World. To describe it, I'd say think Pokemon GO, but Ghostbusters. In the game, you can capture and battle tons of different ghosts using augmented reality, then battle your own team of spirits against other players. However, when you aren't battling other players, you'll need to work together to fight bosses through the real world, including the one and only Stay Puft Marshmallow Man. In between the AR battles and collecting, you'll find that there is a storyline taking place, featuring original Ghostbusters characters. If you're a fan of this series, then you're sure to enjoy. Go grab the app on Google Play by following the link below. The post Save Your Neighborhood From a Spirit Invasion in Ghostbusters World appeared first on GuaripeteMagazine. |
| Pixel 3’s Camera App is Now Available on Pixel 2 and 2 XL Posted: 22 Oct 2018 12:04 PM PDT The new Google Camera that shipped on the Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL is now available to Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL.

The update to the Google Camera shows you the mode you are shooting in at the bottom of the viewfinder, just above the shutter button. If you'd like to switch modes, you can simply swipe left or right on the screen, rather than swipe out a side menu and individually pick a mode, which was the case in the previous build. This update also lets you long-press on the screen to quickly launch Google Lens. Top Shot did not make it into this update, nor did Night Sight or Photobooth. The update is rolling out at as Google Camera v6.1.013. The post Pixel 3's Camera App is Now Available on Pixel 2 and 2 XL appeared first on GuaripeteMagazine. |

| Google Home Hub review: A smarter smart display Posted: 22 Oct 2018 12:04 PM PDT Google started talking about Assistant-powered smart displays earlier this year, but it let Lenovo and JBL roll out the first products. Google unveiled its Assistant display alongside the new Pixel phones, and it’s not just the same guts in a new shell. Google has added some unique features and also omitted one that all other devices have. The Home Hub is not stylish, but the understated design should blend in with your home quite well. The speaker quality is a step down from the standard Google Home, but that might be worth the tradeoff if you’ve got a lot of smart home devices, which are much easier to control on the Home Hub. That’s doubly true for the Nest ecosystem. However, you don’t be beaming any video out from your Home as there’s no camera. Some people might consider that an advantage, though. Design, hardware, what’s in the boxThe Home Hub looks like a small tablet sitting on a stand. In fact, I would not be surprised if a guest tries to pick the “tablet” portion up at some point. The bezel around the display is around half an inch, which seems unnecessary. You’re not going to actually pick up and hold the Hub, so there’s no need for all that empty space. The display itself is 7-inches, but Google did not go all out with the resolution. It’s just 1024×600 for a pixel density of about 170 PPI. If you get close, there’s noticeable pixelation, but you’re not supposed to have your face right up in front of the Hub. Under normal circumstances, you’ll be an arm’s length away from the Home Hub or more. I think it looks fine, though. The viewing angles are good, and the brightness range is excellent. There’s no camera on the Home Hub, but you do get a light color sensor that can adjust the display temperature to match your room (Google calls this Ambient EQ). Thus, you won’t have a blazing bright screen in the corner all evening. The “stand” portion holding the pseudo-tablet upright is the speaker. Unlike other Google Home devices, this speaker doesn’t face you. It fires backward, and it doesn’t seem as capable in general as the standard Google Home. It’s fine for voice and the occasional YouTube video, but it’s not something I’d want to use for playing music. It sounds like a louder Home Mini. On the back, Home Hub has a physical volume toggle and a mute switch like all the other Home devices. Down a the bottom you have a single DC port for power. The Home Hub box is sparse as well. You just have the Hub and the power cable. Home View and integrationsWhenever you’re not using the Home Hub, it acts like a Chromecast with a few extra options. During setup, you can choose if you want a clock, curated photos, or a slideshow of your own images from Google Photos. You can choose between recent highlights in your photos or specific folders. Ignoring all the smart stuff for a moment, the Home Hub is probably the best digital photo frame money can buy. At any time, you can swipe down from the top of the display to open Home View. This is the heart of the Hub’s smart home integrations. It includes quick shortcuts for lights, multi-room media, thermostats, cameras, and more. Of course, you need to actually have that sort of hardware connected to Assistant first. There’s also a toggle for turning the lights in Hub’s room on and off right at the bottom—a very thoughtful feature. You can also view all the rooms in your house to access each smart device. If you have security cameras, Home Hub is a great way to see what’s going on. Just use the OK Google command and tell it to show one. If you’ve got a Nest Hello doorbell, the video feed automatically appears when someone rings the bell. My Home Hub lives by the front door for this reason. The Home Hub’s “home screen” is basically an abbreviated Google Explore (previously Feed) interface. You have the weather, upcoming reminders, and recommended news. The display also makes certain Assistant interactions easier. For example, I feel more confident adding calendar appointments. You can also set multiple timers and see them on the display at the same time. However, there are a few weird gaps (or bugs) in Assistant functionality; I can’t get the “where’s my phone?” command to work. The Home Hub works with Duo, but only for audio on your end. A caller can transmit video, which appears on the Home Hub screen. You just can’t send any back because the Hub lacks a camera. Should you buy it?Yes. Google has figured out what people need from a smart display. The Home Hub launch price is lower than the competition because it doesn’t go crazy with specs and features that you don’t need. The display isn’t the largest or sharpest, but it’s perfectly adequate for the intended usage. The compact footprint makes the hardware easy to integrate into your space, and the light sensor ensures the display isn’t an eyesore in the evening. The smart home integrations are very slick—much of that will come to other Assistant displays, but it’s currently exclusive. If you have a Nest Hello, you need the Home Hub. You also can’t underestimate the value of having an unobtrusive internet-connected photo frame. The Home Hub takes up so little space that it almost looks like a frame sitting on a table, and it can pull down images from your Google Photos account automatically. That part is not unique to the Home Hub, though. There’s no camera for Duo video calls, but I don’t know that I consider that a drawback. I don’t want to make calls with a smart display in my living room, but if you’re going to do that, there are other options. The only major drawback with the Home Hub is the speaker—it’s just not very good. If you want to play music from your smart display, this is not the one to get. Buy it:You want a compact smart display to control smart home devices. Don’t buy it:You want a smart display that’s good for music. Buy it at the Google Store, Walmart, Target, B&H, or Best Buy.

| Pixel 3 supports Wi-Fi calling, hotspot, and HD voice on AT&T Posted: 22 Oct 2018 12:04 PM PDT With all the recent issues cropping up on the Pixel 3 and 3 XL, it’s probably about time for some good news, right? As it turns out, the Pixel 3 on AT&T has access to network features most other unlocked phones don’t — including Wi-Fi calling, HD voice, and creating a hotspot. Last year’s Pixel 2 and 2 XL allowed creating a hotspot on AT&T, but only after a software update. It works on the Pixel 3/3 XL on AT&T out of the box, as well as Wi-Fi calling and HD voice. Unfortunately, voicemails don’t appear in the Phone app — you’re still stuck using AT&T Visual Voicemail.
