OnePlus 6 and 6T owners receiving the gift of a new update this holiday season

Not bad for phones from 2018

It’s hard to imagine, but it’s been more than three years since the OnePlus 6 and 6T hit the market. A couple of generations before the company dove headfirst into flagship pricing, both phones represented some of the best value Android devices that year. Although neither phone is receiving attention as often as it once did, OnePlus has made a new software version available on the heels of its Android 11 update earlier this year.

Read update

Put those pumpkins away and bring out your string lights, because it’s finally November.

A week after international patches arrived on phones, the first set of devices is receiving new software stateside.

Google’s latest awesome Pixel wallpaper collection celebrates the people with disabilities in our lives

Looks like your relatives are going to ruin Google TV recommendations for you this holiday season, after all

Multi-user profiles are likely delayed into 2022

Not everyone who lives together has the same taste in entertainment, which is why apps like Netflix and HBO Max offer individual user profiles for each account. Google TV was set to add profiles in November, but if you’re rocking a Chromecast, you’ve probably noticed they aren’t live just yet. Unfortunately, if you’ve been expecting to take advantage of separate accounts ahead of the holiday season, you shouldn’t expect them any time soon.

JerryRigEverything puts the Fairphone 4 through the wringer

We won’t do it to our phones, but you do you

Fairphone has an enviable reputation in the smartphone industry as one of most sustainable OEMs out there (The Fairphone 2 launched in 2015 with Android 5 and is still receiving updates). Its phones are designed to be dismantled and repaired by the end user, prolonging the useful life as long as possible. Its latest model, the Fairphone 4, has struck a remarkable balance between quality and modularity. But how does it hold up to abuse?

Of course, millions of old-school Chromecasts are still plugged into the backs of TVs. With a new update, Google is making YouTube work more like an actual application — a major change for how these receivers usually work.

Here’s the fix if you can’t play Rocket League Sideswipe on the Pixel 6

Don’t worry, it’s an easy solution

Read update

Earlier in the month, we learned that Psyonix was planning to release its mobile sidescrolling interpretation of Rocket League on mobile across the globe. This rollout started with a few territories and has finally expanded to the US and EU, completing the worldwide launch for Rocket League Sideswipe. Amazingly, the game is great. I went hands-on with the title back in March when it was still in testing and came away pretty impressed, and I’m a diehard Rocket League player that plays on PC every night, so I’m not easily swayed. Not only does the core gameplay of hitting giant soccer balls into goals with cars hold up in its sidescrolling form, there’s no monetization yet, which means the only way to earn in-game cosmetics is by playing the game. No matter how you slice it, Psyonix has hit this one out of the park.

Since the program launched worldwide last month, it’s already added several new games. With today’s update, three more are coming to the Play Store exclusively for Netflix subscribers to try out.

The FTC just tossed a wrench into Nvidia’s plans to acquire ARM

Turns out this deal is as anti-competitive as everyone assumed

We’ve been hearing about Nvidia’s attempts to acquire chipset maker ARM since last year, but thanks to some not-so-surprising concerns from the US government, the purchase has yet to be made official. After both companies confirmed in October that the ongoing antitrust probe was far from complete, it seemed like the deal’s future was murky at best. Now we know the conclusion of that investigation: an FTC lawsuit meant to put an end to the sale.
