Google has confirmed Google TV as its own version of Android TV. The company announced that the new OS would make its debut on the new Chromecast with Google TV. Google TV OS Features The general idea of Google TV is bringing together multiple streaming services into one operating system. Of course, this is far from new, as devices like the Fire TV and Roku have existed for some time. While Android TV is focused more on switching between different apps for content, Google TV is focused on the content itself. It's designed to let you switch between shows and movies quickly regardless of where it exists. You asked, we listened– #Chromecast has a little help coming your way. And, it even comes in three different colors. Watch @YouTube and @Netflix and get help with just a press of the Google Assistant button. #LaunchNightIn https://t.co/E75uqzpThV pic.twitter.com/X2gW6RgvR3 — It's showtime (@madebygoogle) September 30, 2020 Of course, there will still be apps avail...

Venmo has other issues, too, lacking the fraud protections you might find with other payment apps. So, here are the five most common Venmo scams, how to spot them, and whether Venmo is safe for users. 1. Venmo Phishing Scams Venmo users are frequent targets for phishing scams, usually delivered via SMS.

Apple's Quick Start feature makes it remarkably easy to transfer all your data from one iPhone to another. One of the best aspects of Quick Start is that you don't need a computer or an iCloud backup to use it. So whether you just got your hands on the latest iPhone or a friend gave you a hand-me-down, follow the steps below to transfer data to your new iPhone in no time. What Is Quick Start? Quick Start is the name of Apple's iPhone setup feature. So long as both your old and new iPhone are running iOS 12.4 or later, you can use Quick Start to transfer all your data between them.

You may need to authenticate Apple Pay cards and banking apps again, but you shouldn't lose any other data in the process. Step 1: Get ...

Twitter is rolling out voice Tweets to more users on iOS. After facing backlash for not including accessibility features with voice Tweets, Twitter also promises to add transcriptions for voice Tweets as well. Making Voice Tweets More Accessible Twitter has been working to make the platform easier to use. Not only has it made Quote Tweets easier to find , but it's now expanding upon its voice Tweet feature. Twitter started testing the new voice Tweet feature in June 2020. When the testing began, many users criticized Twitter for not including voice transcription for people with disabilities. Twitter responded to the controversy in a post on the Twitter Blog.  The platform noted that it has built accessibility teams to make Twitter more accommodating, and that it will roll out captions for audio and video in early 2021. Now, Twitter plans on making transcriptions available for voice Tweets too. In a Tweet, Twitter stated that it's working to learn more "about how peop...

Seven years ago, I met my husband on the dating website "Plenty of Fish". Now, we have a beautiful life together. Before I met him, I had fun chatting with different men. I met some strange ones, great ones, and then "The one". When we are having bad luck when dating, our faith can become depleted. We start to wonder if it's worth the headache. I can tell you, it is worth it. There are ways you can continue to use online dating services and maintain your sanity. Don't worry, none of them involve deleting your dating apps! 1. Forget Unrealistic Expectations Finding the right person for you will take time. This is not something that happens overnight: Just because you decided to commit, doesn't mean your prince or princess charming will jump out of nowhere and sweep you off your feet. It takes work and time. The most important thing to realize is that even when you find "The one", a healthy relationship is still something you will need to w...

When a game's framerate plummets while you're in the middle of a match, it's a pain to minimize the game and open Task Manager to see what's hogging your precious resources. Those days will soon be no more, as Microsoft is testing out a new Task Manager widget within the Xbox Game Bar. What's New for the Xbox Game Bar? Windows Central spotted this update on the Xbox Insider Hub on Windows 10. If you've never heard of the Xbox Game Bar before, it's a built-in feature of Windows 10 that lets you perform useful in-game actions without leaving your game. While it's a handy tool by itself, Microsoft is making it even more useful by adding a Task Manager widget to it. Now you don't even need to leave your game to see what's causing your game to lag; just open the Task Manager via the Game Bar and close any misbehaving applications. You can also pin the Task Manager so it always stays open. This is a great feature if you want to keep tabs on your c...

So, your Amazon Fire TV Stick is not working as it should be. Maybe you've got buffering video, maybe the remote has stopped working, or perhaps it's just not powering up at all. Fortunately, there are a few things you can try to get it going again. Let's take a look at what you need to do when your Fire Stick is not working. 1. Check Your Fire Stick Is Set Up Properly First of all, make sure that your Fire TV Stick is set up properly. It may sound obvious, but cables can easily work their way loose over time. If the device appears to be completely unresponsive, try a different HDMI port on your TV as well. Also, make sure your Stick is powered properly, connected to a wall outlet or power strip, and that you're using the original power adapter if you still have it. Don't use one of your TV's spare USB ports for power. Although it can be tempting to have one less cable behind your TV, they don't always output enough juice to keep a Fire Stick working re...
