Google apps gets new ‘Activity’ tab for easy access to search history and saved items

Google is introducing a new “Activity” tab within the Google app, which will replace the existing “Saved” tab and provide easy access to search history from both the Google app and Chrome. This feature is currently being tested and aims to create a centralized hub for managing saved items, allowing users to view, manage, and take actions on their search history. The development of this feature has been in progress for nearly two months and is currently accessible to a select group of users as part of a limited rollout. A user demonstrated the functionality on a Pixel 7 Pro, indicating a user-friendly rollout process, while the Pixel 8 Pro has not yet received the update.

Homicipher tasked me with learning a new language to survive a sea of ghosts

Homicipher is a narrative-driven game set in a dimly lit environment where players navigate a dilapidated hallway while dealing with the loss of personal belongings.

Gameplay involves clicking through paths to avoid threats, with dialogue and understanding context being crucial. Players can document new words in a log for future reference, enhancing their experience. The relationship with Mr. Crawling evolves from antagonist to protective figure. The game features low-stress horror elements, allowing players to reflect and strategize after death sequences. Homicipher was launched on Steam on November 1 for .99.

Steam Game Recording Is Now Live For All PC And Steam Deck Users

Valve has introduced Steam Game Recording for PC and Steam Deck players, allowing users to capture gameplay highlights, record extended sessions, and share achievements through the Steam overlay. The feature includes a customizable background-recording mode, a quick-replay function, and the ability to save recorded gameplay in MPEG-4 format. Users can drop markers during gameplay, and developers can create "timeline-enhanced" games that notify the Steam platform of significant events. The recording process is designed to minimize resource impact by utilizing Nvidia or AMD graphics cards. To enable Steam Game Recording, users must update Steam, access settings, and adjust preferences. The feature is compatible with any game that supports the Steam Overlay, though some older titles may not be supported.

How to scan a document on Android

In 2024, scanning documents has become essential, with modern Android smartphones capable of converting paper documents into digital files. Google Drive includes a built-in document scanning feature accessed via the camera icon in the app, which automatically detects documents. To achieve optimal results, documents should be well-lit and properly aligned within the camera frame. After capturing the scan, users can adjust settings like color options, cropping, and blemish removal. Once satisfied, users can save the document in formats like PDF or JPG, storing it in the cloud for easy sharing. Alternatives to Google Drive include Adobe Scan and Microsoft Lens. For high-quality scans, standalone scanners or printers with scanning capabilities are recommended, though smartphones can suffice for everyday use.

Pixel phones are getting an actual weather app in 2024, with a bit of AI

Google's Weather app features an AI-generated weather report that provides concise summaries, such as "Cold and rainy day, bring your umbrella and hold onto your hat!" The app includes a weather radar for real-time precipitation insights and "Nowcasting" capabilities that predict short-term weather changes. Users can customize the display by rearranging data like UV index and humidity, but the app's data widgets are large, requiring scrolling to see the full daily forecast. The AI summary and 10-day forecast are fixed at the top, limiting personalization. Pollen data is unavailable for allergy sufferers in regions like the US, and some whimsical features, like a frog icon, are missing. Users have criticized the app for requiring saved locations to view weather conditions, integration issues with other Google apps, and aesthetic concerns regarding the weather map and app visibility.
