New Daily Digest From CHROME UNBOXED

View this email in your browser The Chrome Cast 235: Discontinued development Chromebooks left and right This week on The Chrome Cast, we attempt to begin the show by talking through the two groups of Chromebooks in development that recently got the axe – those powered by the Snapdragon 7c+ Gen 3 and a couple Chromebooks that were set to have NVIDIA GPUs inside. We divert into some discussion about video […] Read More Google takes a step toward mending its reputation with a new Transparency Center Google’s had a rocky go of it lately. With issues over data privacy and the company being accused and even taken to court many times over monopolistic behavior, it’s safe to say the tech giant’s shiny image has taken a hit over the years. In a move to restore its relationship with users, Google has […] Read More UWB (Ultra Wide Band) is coming to Chromebooks Not to be reduced to just the mmWave tech that companies like Verizon use as part of their 5G strategy, Ultra Wideband for localized devices is a technology that is just starting to really get its legs. From unlocking car doors to secure wireless payments, indoor location tracking to smart home accessory applications, UWB is […] Read More Chromebooks set to get diagnostic widgets in the launcher just as Nvidia GPUs get canceled Thanks to a keen eye and some tinkering by our friend C2 Productions over on ‘X’, it looks like Google is adding some much-needed diagnostic improvements to your Chromebook. Currently only in the Canary channel, the ChromeOS Launcher is set to introduce a slew of new widgets that provide essential information at your fingertips – […] Read More Yes, it's true: NVIDIA GPU Chromebooks are no longer in development So, yeah; this isn’t the greatest news. While I don’t think this is a cause for great alarm or concern, it definitely isn’t the type of thing you want to hear on the heels of Snapdragon 7c+ Gen 3 Chromebooks also getting canned last week. Alas, that’s where we are, and I’ve known about it […] Read More I love YouTube Music's new Samples feature, but its it has one seriously annoying issue YouTube Music’s new “Samples” feature is an absolutely genius idea. It’s like having YouTube Shorts-style music discovery – and I’m obsessed with it. Short, 30-second excerpts of high-quality music videos and artists are the perfect fix for my never-ending thirst for new tunes. But as much as I’ve found myself mindlessly scrolling through them, the […] Read More Unboxing the slim, MediaTek Kompanio 520-powered ASUS Chromebook CM14 Flip [VIDEO] During our time at CES 2023 in Las Vegas all the way back in January, the ASUS Chromebook CM14 Flip showed up in a pretty unexpected fashion. As it turned out, this new Chromebook wasn’t just showcased by ASUS, but by MediaTek in their booth as well. While we knew devices with the new Kompanio […] Read More How to cast to any Chromebook like a Chromecast with the CastReceiver app Casting content from one device to another has become an expected behavior with our devices for a little while now. Google’s proprietary version of this action – Google Cast – powers the well-known Chromecast devices and has been at the forefront of content casting for years at this point. But what if I told you […] Read More Netflix game streaming is coming to your Chromecast with Google TV, PC, and more I’ve been critical of Netflix’s attempts to transition from a movie streaming service to a game publisher and provider. I stand by my feelings on that, but I can at least admire the company’s efforts over the past few years. It’s been no slouch in its attempts to build its catalog and its features surrounding […] Read More YouTube is adding useful new features and more payment methods to NFL Sunday Ticket The 2023 NFL season is just around the corner, and for fans like myself that don’t want to miss a single minute of a single game (watching my Tennessee Titans, that is), the anticipation is real. With NFL Sunday Ticket now being on YouTube and YouTube TV, the experience is only set to get better […] Read More Join our Patreon community and get access to things like behind-the-scenes footage, early access to videos, private Discord server access, an ad-free experience on the mobile and desktop versions of the website, your name listed on all our YouTube videos, and monthly live stream Q&A.
