Verizon Says to Expect January’s Android Security Patch Next Week as Build NMF26U

Next week, Google will likely push out January’s security patch for Android as build NMF26U. The news comes via Verizon’s software support sites for the Pixel and Pixel XL, showing release dates of January 3. 
The update should be small, especially after the big Android 7.1.1 update that arrived at the beginning of December. In fact, the notes for each only say that the update provides the “most up to date Android security patch.”
Google typically pushes out its monthly security patches on the first Monday of each month, but with January 2 acting as the observed New Year’s Day holiday, they may push it to Tuesday. Either way, it’s looking like an update will be here next week from Google.

How to connect your Nintendo Switch to the TV

Image
The  Nintendo Switch  is one-part handheld and one-part home console. But how easy is it to connect up to your TV?  The hybrid console can be played in a number of ways. There’s handheld mode, where you play with the controllers attached to the side of the Switch’s display.  There’s also tabletop mode, where you lean the Switch on its kickstand and detach the controllers for solo or group play.  Or there’s docked mode. This allows you to send a video feed from your console to a television in order to enjoy your favorite Nintendo games on a screen deserving of them. The Nintendo Switch’s own screen is only 6.2 inches, after all, with a middling 1,280 x 720 pixel resolution. This makes it perfect for gaming on-the-move, whether you're going on holiday or commuting.  But if you're staying put, replacing that with a 40-inch screen and 1,920 x 1,080 resolution makes a big difference in every sense of the word. And it'll bring out even more loving detail from the g

The best cheap Chromebooks that are actually in stock right now

Image
Chromebooks have been going in and out of stock over the past year, initially from the rise of remote work at the start of the COVID pandemic. Component shortages and remote schooling also resulted in fewer options being available, but as we head into 2021, there are some decent options in the $200-300 range. All of the models we've selected are fast enough to handle at least a few Chrome tabs and applications running at once, and when they're available, we try to include models with large screens. We have a dedicated guide for the best Chromebooks overall, but this list is solely focused on budget options that are actually in stock right now. Samsung Chromebook 4+: $299 The Samsung Chromebook 4+ is one of the best deals in the Chromebook market... when it's not out of stock, that is. While the laptop doesn't have a touch screen or 2-in-1 design, it does have a competent Intel Celeron N4000 processor and 4GB RAM. The main selling point here is the 15.6-inch 1080p scr
