Google Home Max might be released on December 11

Time to start counting down the days.

It's hard to believe that Google's big hardware event was almost two months ago, but time sure flies when you're waiting for a release date for the company's awesome Assistant-equipped home speaker.

We're obviously talking about the Google Home Max, and when it was unveiled back in October, we knew that it'd be released at some point in December. However, according to a Best Buy listing spotted by 9to5Google, that December release date could be here sooner than some were expecting.

Best Buy has the Home Max listed on its website with a "coming soon" label attached to it, but next to the model and SKU information, there's also a release date of December 12, 2017.

In addition to this, one commenter also noted that the terms and conditions section on the Google Store for the YouTube Red promo with the Home Max reads that the promotion is open to "participants in the U.S. who purchase and activate a Google Home Max between December 11, 2017 and February, 2018.

We can't say for certain whether or not the Home Max will launch on December 11 without a direct confirmation from Google, but it certainly does look like that'll be the case.

Google Assistant now helps you find a local plumber or electrician

Finding local assistance is just one "Ok, Google" command away.

If you've ever tried finding a handyman or woman to hire for a project at your house, you know the experience of searching through various companies and trying to figure out which services they offer can be a big pain in the rear. Thankfully, a new update to Google Assistant makes this ordeal a lot more bearable.

To get started, simply start talking to Google Assistant by saying, "Ok, Google, I need a plumber." You'll then get a list of common orders to choose from, such as installing a faucet, unclogging a drain, etc. Once you've chosen which services you need, the Assistant will then confirm the address at which you need the work done.

After confirming this, you then have the option of having the Assistant call the first plumber it finds or getting a list of the ones in your area that provide the services you need.

You'll be able to use this feature not only with plumbers, but also electricians, house cleaners, and other service providers. Google will be rolling this out to Assistant on phones and smart speakers (like Google Home) over the coming weeks in the United States, and in certain cities, recommendations are prescreened by HomeAdvisor and Porch.

Video: HTC U11+ review

It's become something of a sad cliche to preface an HTC review with a grim recap of just how far the Taiwanese company has fallen in the past half-decade. Sure: HTC has indeed seen better days, but it still knows how to make great Android phones, as evidenced by the quality of this year's U11 handset.

Now, as the year draws to a close, there's a new model on the horizon — boasting a larger, taller screen, a gigantic battery and Android Oreo out of the box. The HTC U11+ sees HTC join the 18:9 club while further refining its "liquid surface" glass design and introducing a smattering of new software features — all while retaining the key features that made the U11 a great device. Unfortunately, there's no U.S. launch planned for the U11+, but it's out now in parts of Asia, and coming to Europe soon.

Check out our video review above for a full rundown on what's good — and not so good — about the latest phone from everyone's favorite Android underdog.

Amazon currently has an Echo Dot bundle that you may not expect, but it's one you should definitely look at buying. Right now you can combine an Echo Dot with the Light Rhapsody Holiday String Lights for just $49.99, which is a savings of around $25.

These lights normally sell for $44.99 on their own, and the Echo Dot is down to $29.99 (from $49.99), so it's basically like adding an Echo Dot to the lights for just $5, which is awesome.

Monster of the Deep: Final Fantasy XV is fun but a little rough

Fishing in VR with a Monster Hunting flavor.

Monster of the Deep is a spin off VR game, based on the Mini game from Final Fantasy XV where Noctis goes fishing to gain AP. This VR game is essentially a fishing game with the occasional crossbow shooter thrown in for good measure, which winds up being a good bit of fun.

Unlike the main game, you play a nameless hunter in the world of Final Fantasy XV instead of the whiney hero Noctis from the main game. You do bump into others in the game however, so far I've met Noctis and Cindy, the amazing mechanic who is entirely underdressed for this game, with more showing up as you play.

Google's cracking down on Play Store apps that include lock screen ads

Intrusive lock screen ads, your time has come.

We've all been there at one point or another. You download an app from the Play Store, all appears to be well, and then it happens – intrusive advertisements start popping up on your lock screen. This has been an issue on Android for years, but it looks like Google is finally taking the right steps to stop this from happening any longer.

First spotted by Android Police, Google Play's Developer Policy Center has been updated with a new section under the Lockscreen Monetization portion that reads:

Unless the exclusive purpose of the app is that of a lockscreen, apps may not introduce ads or features that monetize the locked display of a device.

Some of the biggest offenders of this include ES File Explorer and Hotspot Shield VPN, and while it's unclear what Google will do to apps that are currently violating this rule, it's reassuring to see that some guidelines are finally in place.

Apps like S'more and Slidejoy that are created around the idea of serving ads to your lock screen aren't affected by this, but those that try to sneak ads in there without the you being aware are getting the boot they deserve.

Well done, Google 👏

Best Tempered Glass Screen Protectors for Google Pixel 2

What are the best tempered glass screen protectors for the Pixel 2?

The Google Pixel 2 is here and as expected it's pretty amazing — and if you want to keep it looking amazing, you should be sure to protect that screen with a screen protector. Tempered glass screen protectors are your best option for protecting your phone's screen from drop damage and general wear and tear. And chances are you will see some wear over time.

Fortunately, there's a number of great options out there for you to choose from. Let's dive in!

• Power Support Tempered Glass Film
• IntelliGLASS Tempered Glass Screen Protector
• Vigeer Tempered Glass Screen Protector [2-pack]
• MP-MALL Tempered Glass Screen Protector [2-pack]
• ZeKing Tempered Glass Screen Protector [2-pack]
• InvisibleShield Glass+ Tempered Glass Screen Protector
• amFilm Pixel 2 XL Tempered Glass Screen Protector

Power Support Tempered Glass Film

We'll start with the tempered glass accessory that Google sells alongside the Pixel 2 on the Google Store. It has a black border at the top and bottom to help with lining it up during installation and also has cutouts around the front-facing speakers. Curved edges ensure a good in-hand feel, and the oleophobic coating will ensure you're not constantly wiping fingerprint and grease smudges off of your screen.

Google is selling this screen protector for a whopping $39.95, but for that money, you can be sure that it's a quality product and designed precisely for your Pixel 2.

See at Google

IntelliGLASS 3D Tempered Glass Screen Protector

IntelliARMOR is a trusted brand in phone protection, and right now they've got a great deal on their IntelliGLASS 3D screen protectors. Regularly sold for $45, you can get one for just $20.

The IntelliGLASS screen protector is incredibly thin and features the ever-important oleophobic coating to prevent oils and dirt from sticking to your screen. It's a great option that is super thin and lightweight but tough when it counts. IntelliGLASS uses a silicone-based adhesive that makes for an easy installation, and if you have any problem the IntelliARMOR customer service will work to make things right. It's available with a white or black border, or you can opt for the IntelliGLASS HD that's fully transparent and starts shipping the first week of December.

See at IntelliARMOR

Vigeer Tempered Glass Screen Protector [2-pack]

Vigeer has opted for cutouts around the front-facing speakers at the top and bottom, which will leave those bits of the screen exposed. But otherwise this screen protector will cover the entire flat portion of the screen (damn those curved edges!) and should be fully compatible with cases.

The kit comes with two protectors along with a microfiber cleaning cloth, an alcohol wipe pad, and some dust removal stickers to ensure you get a clean installation. Get this 2-pack for just $7.99.

See at Amazon

ZeKing Tempered Glass Screen Protector [2-pack]

If you like the price of the Vigeer option but don't like leaving the top and bottom edges of your phone exposed, ZeKing's screen protector is for you. Opting to provide precise cutouts around the front-facing speakers instead, this two-pack of tempered glass screen protectors will offer good protection for the entirety of the display up to the curved edge of the screen glass.

It's a basic kit but includes all the standard features including an oleophobic coating for fingerprints along with alcohol wipes for a clean installation. At just $6.99, you aren't likely to find a better deal on a tempered glass screen protector.

See at Amazon

InvisibleShield Glass+ Tempered Glass Screen Protector

Zagg is a trusted name in phone accessories, and especially screen protectors. It's one of the few premium brands to already be selling a tempered glass screen protector for the Pixel 2.

The InvisibleShield Glass+ provides ample impact protection for your screen and is designed to withstand shattering itself. If it does, you can count on its limited lifetime warranty in which it'll replace the screen protector if it gets worn or damaged for as long as you own the phone (you only pay shipping and handling costs).

It's also smudge- and scratch-resistant, too, so it will hold up nicely to daily wear and tear — and you wouldn't expect any less from a product that costs $39.99.

See at Zagg

amFilm Pixel 2 XL Tempered Glass Screen Protector

One of the few options available for the Pixel 2 XL, this tempered glass screen protector from amFilm should do the trick. It's been specifically designed for the larger model and claims to offer edge-to-edge protection. The glass has a black trim around the perimeter of the curved corner display, and notches cut out of the top and bottom to accomodate the front-facing speakers.

This is a case-friendly screen protector that features an invisible dot matrix to simulate fingerprint contact most accurately. It also has an olophobic coating to prevent fingerprints which is always important.

There may be cheaper options to come, but for $14.99 you'll get everything you'll need to ensure a clean installation and quality protection for your new phone.

Google reported to absorb Nest into its own hardware division

Google's pretty serious about this smart home stuff.

Nest is one of the biggest names in the smart home space, and in 2014, was purchased by Google. This lead the two companies to work very close with one another, but they were then distanced following the launch of Alphabet in 2015. According to a report from The Wall Street Journal, Google is interested in acquiring Nest once again and merging the company directly into its own hardware division.

Nest's latest product, the Thermostat E.

The reason for this merger is reportedly due to overlap that currently takes place between the two companies, ranging from product development, the manufacturing process, and even the final retail distribution.

Google's been pushing further and further into the smart home space since 2016 with the likes of Google Home and Google Wi-Fi, and this push is continuing with the Home Mini and Home Max. Along with this, there's already a level of integration between the companies' products with Google Assistant and Home support available for a wide array of Nest gadgets.

Should this merger take place, Nest's entire workforce of 1,000+ employees would join Google and start developing smart products under its name. This would be a huge win for Google in its constant battle with Amazon for the smart home space, but at this time, neither Google or Nest has commented on whether or not this might actually take place.
