Google rolling out first Project Stream invites for console gaming right in Chrome

-

Earlier this week, Google announced Project Stream as a "technical test" to solve the hardest problems associated with making AAA console titles playable right in desktop Chrome. This evening, Google is beginning to roll out the first Project Stream invites to users.

Google is working with Ubisoft to beta test Assassin's Creed Odyssey on the new Project Stream platform ahead of a general release. Available on desktop Chrome, invitees will be able to play the latest in the long-running Assassin's series, with the new title focussed on the ancient Greeks.

Live the epic odyssey of a Spartan hero

Starting today, you and other Project Stream testers get to play this game free until January 15, 2019. No catch, just embrace your inner legend and then tell us what you think of this new way to play. Remember that you need to be at least 17 years old and in the U.S. to play this game.

The first invites began rolling out this evening, with Google noting that acceptances will be sent out in rounds over the next two months.  Users will also get $10 of in-game currency to spend, while creating a Ubisoft account is also required.

The included setup code only works on one account and applies access to that specific Google login.

  1. Hop on a computer that has a reliable internet connection (don't worry, we'll run a quick test for you later). You won't be able to play on a phone or tablet.
  2. Use your code to get started. You'll also need a Google Account and a recent version of Chrome, but we'll help if you don't have those already.
  3. Create a Ubisoft account for your game if you don't already have one. Once you click "Play," you'll need to sign in.
  4. Plug in your controller or mouse & keyboard and start playing. Try wired USB controllers like DualShock 4 or Xbox One and 360 controllers.

Users can play this Project Stream game until January 15, 2019. Unfortunately, Google notes that at the moment there is no progress save or carried-over achievements to the game's final version.

Sign-ups are still open with Google specifying connectivity of at least 25 megabits per second for Project Stream. Users also need to update the browser on Mac, Windows, Linux, and Chrome OS to version 69 or above. Wired controllers are supported, with trackpads not recommended.

Anker’s Nebula Capsule portable projector is a pocket powerhouse

-
Image
Anker is a devie maker that's rapidly become a go-to brand for affordable, quality accessories include cables, chargers and backup batteries. More recently, it's started to branch out into additional areas, including projectors through its Nebula brand. The Nebula Capsule is the latest product from that line, a super portable projector with an Android-based OS, a built-in battery and the ability to double as a Bluetooth speaker. The Nebula Capsule is the smaller sibling to the Nebula Mars portable cinema projector, which is actually far less portable than the newer Capsule. The Mars is more of a home theater projector that you're also technically able to take with you if you want, whereas the Capsule is roughly the size of a can of Coke, and easy to stash in even smaller bags, or, if you're not worries bout some bulging, even in a jacket pocket. Anker initially launched the Capsule on Indiegogo, but now it's made its way to Amazon where it retails for

Instagram starts showing activity status in direct messages

-
Image
... In its quest to become the only app where you share photos, moments, and messages, Instagram is adding one new feature to its direct messages: activity status. Just like you'd see when a person was last active on WhatsApp or Telegram or plenty of other messaging services, now you can do the same on Instagram and chide them for not replying with "oohs" and "aahs" to the preettay pic of a sunset that you just posted or the kissy face you messaged directly to them. Or you know, there's one more way to track every online activity of your significant other and get many more proofs and reasons to pick a fight over "Are you still checking out your ex on Instagram?" I guess this kind of feature isn't for me since I never started an Instagram DM with anyone, like eveeer, and my latest reply to anyone was about 16 weeks ago. But given how popular DMs are for the service, it was bound to happen. The option can be found un

Galaxy A7 (2018) hands-on: Samsung, be a bit more bold!

-
Image
Samsung's A-series - including the Galaxy A7 - is a bit like the VW Golf of smartphones: the competition may offer more horsepower or a more stylish design for the same price, but you can usually rely on a solid package with no real weaknesses. Can the same be said for the Samsung Galaxy A7? Have you ever heard of OSIRIS? Choose "Yes, I have!" or "Never heard of it.". Oops! Seems like something went wrong. Reloading might help. Yes, I have! Oops! Seems like something went wrong. Reloading might help. Never heard of it. Samsung Galaxy A7 (2018) release date and price The Samsung Galaxy A7 is hitting the market at an aggressive price of 349 euros (that's around 400 dollars) and the prices of smartphones from the Korean brand usually fall quite quickly. This means that the price is comparable to the Honor Play , Nokia 7.1 and other brands.
