How to open and edit photos on a Chromebook
One of the many, many myths around Chromebooks is that you can't edit photos on them, which is just patently untrue because I edit 95% of the photos I use for my articles on Chrome OS. Just because the full-featured and full-priced Adobe Photoshop doesn't live on Chromebooks yet doesn't mean that you can't do simple tweaks or advance photo editing here. There's a basic photo editor built right into the Gallery app on every Chromebook, and among the myriad of photo editors out there, Google Photos' web editor can do a lot more than you'd think.How to edit photos in the Gallery appThe Gallery app is one of the pre-loaded apps on a Chromebook, and while most of us just use it to see which screenshot is which in our folder — oh, that's just me? Okay, then — it does in fact have an editing mode that you can use to do the following actions:Crop an imageResize an imageAdjust the brightness/contrast of an imageRotate an imageBy default, the Gallery app is opened whenever you...
Grab the Eufy RoboVac 11S robot vacuum cleaner on sale for $160 today
Today you can get the Eufy RoboVac 11S (Slim) robot vacuum cleaner on sale for $159.99 in both black and white. The deal is on Amazon, but it is being sold by Woot. These robot vacuums are in new condition, and refurb versions direct from the Eufy store go for around $153. So you're basically getting a new vacuum for the price of a refurbished one. The RoboVac 11S tends to sell as high as $220, and the drop to $160 matches one we've seen a couple times before. The last time was about a month ago at Newegg, but the 11S is going for its $220 street price there now.The RoboVac 11S is slimmer than previous generations and is only 2.85 inches high. It is still capable of some truly powerful suction up to 1300Pa, which means you get a lot of power in a small package. Anker's BoostIQ tech can detect when some extra suction is needed and automatically increases the power for the tough to clean spots. This saves you some battery life in the long run, too, by only using that extra suction in...
From the Editor's Desk: Let's talk about that new HTC phone
A new phone, a new chip and 5G doesn't mean a triumphant return for HTC.The last HTC phone I reviewed for Android Central was the U12+, such a broken embarrassment of a handset that I fully expected it be... well, the last HTC phone I ever reviewed. Between hemorrhaging cash and talent, and being dwarfed by its competition, HTC seemed to be done as a major player in smartphones.But this week, something funny happened. HTC decided to launch a new phone. Well, two phones, in fact but today I'm going to focus on the higher-specced of the pair, because that's the one attracting the attention of nostalgic Android fans.Externally, the new HTC U20 5G is a pretty generic looking 2020 smartphone, with its hole-punch display and quad cameras. But what makes this phone more modern is its spec sheet: A Snapdragon 765G processor, 8GB of RAM, 256GB of storage, 5G connectivity and a capacious 5,000mAh battery. For a phone brand that was largely considered dead and buried, that's not a bad spe...
How to get back the caps lock on your Chromebook
Chromebooks have keyboards that slightly simplified compared to Macs and Windows laptops. The function row at the top doesn't have the F1-12 numbers etched in, nor a dedicated Function key to enable them. At first glance, you'll also notice there isn't a Caps Lock key, forcing you to HOLD DOWN THE SHIFT KEY THE WHOLE TIME. If you need to be able to SHOUT FREELY ON YOUR FACEBOOK or need to swap layouts, here's how to get your Chromebook keyboard set up the way you want it.How to remap a Chrome OS function key (and get Caps Lock back)Open Settings from either the app drawer or the main menu (clicking on the time).Scroll down to the Device section and tap Keyboard.Tap the drop-down menu to the right of Launcher.Tap Caps Lock in the drop-down options.Repeat steps 3-4 as desired.To enable F1-12 function keys rather than the standard Chrome OS shortcuts in the top row of the keyboard, tap Treat top row as function keys.There are five function keys you can remap on most Ch...
Save 10% on DoorDash food delivery and order some more tacos
If you're like me, you're probably ordering a lot more food delivery these days thanks to spending a lot more time at home. In many parts of the country, restaurants are still pretty limited in how many they can serve. Most are still depending on curbside pickup and delivery. So if you're looking at food delivery services, you could probably stand to save a buck. Right now at Best Buy you can get a $100 DoorDash digital food delivery card on sale for $90. That's only a 10% savings compared to a 20% savings we saw a month ago, but it's still an extra $10 you can spend on actual food instead of the cost of getting that food.This is a gift code, not a gift card. You don't get anything physical for this purchase, but on the other hand you also get to benefit from it immediately. Redeem the code pretty much as soon as you buy it and you'll get $50 in your DoorDash account. You can also send the code to someone else as a gift. Maybe Dad could use some food delivery as a late Father's Day...

Amazon Prime Day 2020: September dates, possible deals & more
Amazon's annual Prime Day 2020 event isn't likely to happen in July for the first time since it came about. This year, rumors suggest that Amazon is pushing it back until September, following issues the company faced during the COVID-19 outbreak. While unfortunate, it makes sense for Amazon to delay the event for several reasons. Consumers are affected by the economic slowdown, lots of people lost jobs during the outbreak, and supply chains are still affected by everything. While it would be awesome to have a small sense of normalcy and have Prime Day happen during July, it doesn't look like that's what will happen this year.The delay could potentially change a lot of things about Prime Day 2020, especially with how much closer it pushes the event towards Black Friday and the holiday shopping season. There are a lot of unanswered questions at this point like what is this rumored Summer Sale that people are talking about, when will Prime Day be announced and take place, and should y...

The Sonos Arc is an incredible-sounding, versatile Atmos soundbar
Sonos nails the fundamentals with its latest soundbar. But it'll cost you.It's been almost two years since I reviewed the Sonos Beam, a soundbar from a company that represented just as much about the company's future as it did about its then-present.The speaker maker had been trying to balance the needs of its existing user base, which valued the connected nature of its speaker ecosystem, with a growing number of cost-conscious consumers who just wanted a decent soundbar to connect to the living room TV that was taking on more importance. Plus, it wanted to work with the quickly-proliferating smart assistant audience, many of whom were choosing Sonos products like the Sonos One because it was the best-sounding Alexa speaker you could buy for $200.The Beam, with its $399 starting price, low-profile form factor, beamforming speakers, and support for HDMI's ARC standard, tried to be all things to most people, and it succeeded wildly. When I sent my review unit back, I survived les...

The Last of Us Part 2 review: Emotional, complex, and divisive
When Naughty Dog said this game would be divisive, it wasn't kidding. There's a lot to unpack.Should The Last of Us be a standalone game?That's a question countless fans have asked since its release in 2013. When you have an ending so perfect, it's hard to go back for fear that a continuation will ruin it. Does an ambiguous ending even need answers? When players have their own theories, not everyone will be satisfied. The Last of Us Part II, by its mere existence, was going to be divisive. After spending over 22 hours with it, I can say that divisive doesn't even begin to describe it.Truthfully I'm still trying to process everything that I experienced. It's been difficult to compose my thoughts surrounding the game, but I hope I do it justice. It's something that I'll think about for a long time, and my opinion of it honestly may change. Naughty Dog doesn't shy away from uncomfortable topics, and certain scenes can get heavy.If you're looking for a beautifully crafted post-ap...
This is why location tracking is an absolute privacy nightmare
Do you really want to tell Popeye's Chicken where you live, where you work, and when you watch a baseball game?I write a lot of words about location tracking and how it fits into our lives. Sometimes it can be a useful tool, but most of my words are about how bad it is and why tools that try to manage it are so important. Most times, someone asks me why it matters if an app knows where they are when they are using it.I get it. For a lot of us, it's nice that we can see what's on clearance at Target if we have the app installed and then use it to find the closest location. Or Dick's Sporting Goods, or PetSmart or whatever store. It also can be nice for an app like Strava to map your rides or for Google Maps to show you where you have been. But like most things, if you give an inch, the app takes a mile. Location tracking can be a good feature, but most of the time it's not.Consider this article from the Financial Post. It's about the ways an app — in this case, the Tim Ho...
How to watch Watford vs. Leicester live stream
This Premier League lunchtime kick-off at Vicarage Road sees Watford boss Nigel Pearson face the club he once managed.The match sees both teams with plenty to play for at opposite ends of the table - Watford are in danger of the drop zone and remain above the relegation zone on account of goal difference, while Leicester are in third and have a Champions League spot very much within their grasp.Having looked near hopeless prior to his appointment, Pearson's arrival in December has given Watford hope of survival, signing off before the break with a massive home win over Champions-elect Liverpool.Leicester meanwhile have had a season to remember so far under Brendan Rodgers, and barring a catastrophe should finish third. That said, with a bad run of just two wins from their last eight in the league before the lockdown break, they'll be looking to get back on track here.Read on for full details on how to get a live stream of Watford vs Leicester no matter where you are in the w...
These are the best Sega Forever games you can play on your phone
Sega has been bringing its classic titles to Android. These are the best released so far.Sega deserves a lot of praise for Sega Forever, the campaign that delivered classic Sega titles to the Google Play Store.

If you love a game and want an ad-free gaming experience, you can unlock the premium version for $2.The touchscreen emulation for controls is pretty decent, but Sega has also added controller support for most of the titles, so if you have a Bluetooth controller for Android, you're good to go.Though there are more than 20 games in the growing collection of Sega Forever-branded titles, these are the best of the bunch.

USB webcams and PS4, will they work together?
Best answer: No. Sony's PlayStation 4 does not provide support for standard USB webcams. In fact, the company requires that you use its proprietary camera, which uses a different jack than USB.The only PS4 camera: PlayStation Camera (From $80 at Amazon)A professional option: Elgato HD60 S ($180 at Amazon)Cameras and PlayStationRather than adding support for third-party USB cameras, Sony has been trying to make its camera a must-have accessory since they first introduced the EyeToy camera for PlayStation 2. Unfortunately for Sony, the EyeToy and upgraded PlayStation Eye were far from that must-have. Camera games were limited at best throughout the life of the PlayStation 2 and 3.It wasn't until 2010 with the launch of PlayStation Move that the camera started gaining a little traction. Over 15 million Moves were shipped by 2012, but the continued lack of any games worth owning meant it would eventually die out as EyeToy had — if the upcoming PlayStation VR headset hadn't b...
Don't break the bank with these Android phones under $200
Smartphones that cost $1,000 and more have quickly become commonplace in the market, and for anyone on a budget, those steep prices can quickly induce a headache. Thankfully, cheap smartphones are still plentiful, with more great options to choose from than ever before. If you need a new handset but only have $200 to spend, our favorite one is the Moto G Fast.
