How to sideload Android APKs on your Chromebook

A Chromebook can be used for productivity, gaming, and entertainment, and users can sideload Android apps when they are not available on the Google Play Store. Sideloading involves installing Android Package Kits (APKs) directly onto the device, but caution is advised as these apps have not been verified by Google. Users should research APKs to ensure they are legitimate and free from malware. To sideload an app, users can enable Linux on their Chromebook and use Android Debug Bridge (ADB). This requires enabling ADB debugging in the Linux development environment and using the Terminal to install the APK. Alternatively, users can run APKs using an emulator in Android Studio, which involves setting up Android Studio and creating an Android Virtual Device to install the APK.

Every household management app I tried came up short, so I built my own with Claude

The author sought to improve household management by creating a customized app after finding existing apps inadequate. They initially planned to develop a traditional Android app but switched to a progressive web app (PWA) for quicker prototyping. The PWA evolved to include features for tracking family spending, inventory, and chores, with integration of Google Calendar and Firebase for syncing. The author repurposed an old tablet as a family hub for easy access to the app. After multiple iterations, they are now working on a native Android version, appreciating the learning experience gained from developing the PWA.

I enjoyed this video of Oblivion Remastered actor Wes Johnson goofing around in a sound booth dressed as Sheogorath, but a patch for the PC version would be nice too, Bethesda

Bethesda has announced the release of Oblivion Remastered for the Nintendo Switch 2, set to debut in August. Wes Johnson, a voice actor from the Elder Scrolls series, will reprise his role as Sheogorath in the promotional material. The promotional video has received positive feedback, particularly for Johnson's return, but there are concerns about technical issues with the PC version, including performance problems and bugs that have persisted since the original release in 2006. Recent Steam reviews for the PC version have dropped to a Mixed rating, despite an overall Mostly Positive status. There is hope that the Switch 2 launch may lead to renewed attention to the concerns of PC players.

Microsoft thinks its latest Windows 11 tweak is an “improvement.” Do you agree, or are you sick of tiny changes?

My mother had a strong aversion to Windows 8 but eventually upgraded to Windows 10 and later embraced Windows 11. Windows 11 will soon update its File Explorer to display file sizes in KB, MB, and GB instead of just KB. This change is expected to be welcomed by many users, although some may find the adjustment challenging. There is a discussion about user preferences regarding changes in familiar features and the potential for Microsoft to retain legacy options alongside new enhancements.

Windows 11 Search is fixing its biggest annoyance, will find files in folders you actually use

Windows 11 Search is a crucial tool for users who create and download files, but it often struggles to find recently accessed files due to its indexing limitations. Microsoft is introducing a feature called “Automatically find additional relevant locations,” which will automatically identify and index folders based on user activity, reducing the need for manual indexing. Currently, Windows Search maintains an index focused on specific folders, which can lead to frustrations when files are not found. Users can manually add locations or switch to Enhanced mode for broader indexing, though this may result in irrelevant search results and increased resource usage. The new feature aims to streamline the search process by making significant folders searchable automatically while allowing users to block any unwanted folders. Additionally, Microsoft is enhancing Windows Search to better recognize typos and plans to disable Bing search and ads in results. These updates are expected to be rolled out later this year.
