Chromebooks, for the most part, don't come with an abundance of storage. You won't be seeing a 2TB Chromebook anytime soon, but unless the Chromebook you buy is from Google's Pixelbook line, that's not a problem. Almost every Chromebook ever made has either an SD or microSD card slot that allows you to greatly expand the storage available for your downloads and data. However, your Android apps won't be able to see or use your SD card until you grant permission for all apps to read and write to external storage. Products used in this guide: Really expand your storage: Samsung EVO Select 128GB ($17 at Amazon) How to enable Android apps to use SD card storage on a Chromebook Tap the time in the bottom corner of your screen to open the main menu.

Another huge wall is about to drop between PlayStation 4 and other networks, with the Minecraft Bedrock Edition looking virtually confirmed for PS4 complete with Xbox Live cross-play in the near future. One big development throughout this generation has been the gradual encroachment of cross-play between competing gaming networks. Major titles like Fortnite, Call of Duty, and others now have some form of cross-play between PlayStation and Xbox One, with other titles like Gears 5 picking up cross-play between Xbox and PC. One very high-profile hold out was Minecraft's Bedrock Edition, which is arguably the most cross-playable title of them all, connecting players from Nintendo Switch, VR, mobile, Xbox One, and PC via Xbox Live. Unfortunately, it looked as though Sony was holding out on bringing Xbox Live to PlayStation in order to enable cross-play for Minecraft to PS4 users, until now. Appearing in various stores online (thanks, @Rand_Al_Thor_19), gamers are spotting a new retail S... […]

The team said the following on the Obsidian forums. We would like to thank you all for the continued feedback and reports for The Outer Worlds. We have been hard at work doing as much as we can to help improve your gaming experie... […]

The experimental feature is not up and running yet. What you need to know Chrome Canary just received a new way of sharing webpages with your phone. The experimental new flag generates a QR code for the URL of any page you are visiting. You can scan the code using your smartphone to access the page. While you can already send webpages from your PC to your phone — and vice versa — on Chrome, that currently requires you to be logged in to your Google account on both devices. It also requires the use of the Chrome browser on both ends. For the more privacy-conscious among us or those who prefer other mobile browsers over Google's offerings, the company might just have an awesome solution for you (via Techdows). A new experimental flag for Chrome Canary lets you ask the desktop browser to generate a QR code containing the URL of any page you are visiting. This, in turn, allows you to quickly open the same page from your phone using a QR scanner — many phones' bu... […]

There's also a fix for battery issues on OnePlus phones. What you need to know WhatsApp's latest update adds calling waiting to the app. If you receive a second call while you're already talking to someone, the call won't automatically get rejected. You'll now get a notification for the call, and the option to end your current call to switch to the second one. WhatsApp just got a really neat feature with its latest update. And I'm not referring to the new [Any.do integration](/WhatsApp is making multiple calls less confusing with call waiting) that lets you automatically create reminders using the messaging app, though that's pretty cool, too. No, I'm talking about call waiting support (via Android Police). Previously, when you received a call while you were already on one, WhatsApp would automatically reject it for you, and notify the person on the other side with a message I'm sure you've already seen more than once: "[Your contact's name] is on another call." The recipient, ... […]

There were also books, batteries, and a tambourine. What you need to know Amazon customers who bought a Nintendo Switch on Black Friday were in for a rude surprise this week. Instead of their console, some customers report receiving an assortment of items, such as condoms, batteries, and books. A tambourine also made the cut. It's Black Friday and you just splurged on a Nintendo Switch on Amazon. Well, unfortunately for you, the condom Amazon sent instead doesn't really let you beat up Mario. In a comically tragic story, Amazon is apologizing for sending would-be Switch owners books, batteries, condoms, and microphones, among other random items, instead. As The Mirror reports, one woman, who received a David Williams novel instead of a Switch, reported the following: "I want my money refunded. You have delivered and refused to take back (the) parcel which was smashed." Sophie Hamilton from Surrey lamented her daughter's disappointment and bafflement as to where the Nintendo S... […]

Best answer: Yes! The Samsung Galaxy Watch Active 2 is water-resistant to 5 ATM, which means it's can withstand splashes, rainfall, showering, and even swimming. Just keep swimming: Samsung Galaxy Watch Active 2 ($279 at Amazon) Swim your heart out The Galaxy Watch Active 2 was designed with durability in mind. The 5 ATM rating means it's water-resistant in depths of up to 50 meters. It's suitable for low velocity and shallow water activities, so you can take it swimming. However, it's not suitable for high-pressure water activities. It's also IP68 and MIL-STD-810G-certified, so it's been tested against various conditions, including drops from 4.9 feet, extreme temperatures, shock/vibration, low pressure/high altitude, along with its ability to withstand dust, dirt, and sand. As you might recall, its predecessor was released less than a year ago with the promise of a swim tracking feature to be released shortly after. Our prayers were finally answered in July with a software up... […]

It's still being rolled out in stages. What you need to know OnePlus last month started a staged rollout of Android 10 to the OnePlus 6 and 6T. Unfortunately, it soon discovered there were issues with the software and halted the updates. The company has now started updating phones to the latest Android version again. OnePlus' rollout of OxygenOS 10 — built on top of Android 10 — to last year's flagships was unfortunately cut short last month, thanks to buggy software. The company seems to have worked out the kinks in its operating system now and is actively rolling out OxygenOS 10.0.1 to the phones. Global Product Operations Manager, Manu J. announced the update on the company's forums yesterday, with the following changelog: Changelog System Updated system to Android 10 Brand new UI for Android 10 Updated Android security patch to 2019.10 Fixed the fingerprint identification issue Fixed the animation lag for fingerprint unlock Fixed the automatic reboot issue aft...

If you want to expand your Chromebook's storage, you can use an SD card and boom, you've got more space. Chrome's security model treats storage you can remove differently than storage you can't — and not all Android apps can use SD storage for data — but an SD card slot means extra storage space for photos, video, documents or anything else that you need to keep somewhere. Whether you need micro, full-size, or something in between, these are your best bets for dependable, affordable storage for your Chromebook. Go micro Samsung EVO Select microSD card Staff pick Most Chromebooks today ship with a microSD slot, and the microSD card we like best is the Samsung EVO Select.
