https://www1-lw.xda-cdn.com/files/2017/07/Tasker-5.0-Red-810x298_c.png

Tasker is one of the most popular automation apps currently available for Android, and the Tasker 5.0 version update most notably brings a brand-new Material Design user interface along with a plethora of other features.

The Material Design UI was previously available for Tasker users that were part of Crafty Apps EU’s beta program, but with the latest 5.0 version now available on the Google Play Store, all users finally have access to it.

Along with the brand-new look, Tasker 5.0 also adds support for Magisk SU, many new Android O API additions, and 3 Custom Quick Settings Tiles to make accessing your triggers, actions, tasks, and scenes considerably easier. The full change log is accessible from the developer’s webpage here. Be warned, though, that much of it will be incomprehensible if you aren’t intimately familiar with Tasker and its existing feature set.

The 5.0 update is currently rolling out slowly, so keep checking the Google Play Store over the next few hours to see when it finally hits your device.

[ Tech News ] Google Assistant on Chromebooks

We’ve heard several times now through code commits and more that Assistant on Chromebooks is coming. However, nothing has really indicated exactly when this was going to happen. That is, until now. Hidden quietly within the Google Home app is a mention that some Assistant applications will work with Chromebooks. All Assistant apps list out which platforms they are compatible with through Assistant since, for example, some don’t work on phones, but do work on Google Home. Listed in the compatibility section of the Chat with your Assistant “game” right alongside phones, Google Home, and Allo is Chromebooks, clear as day. Not only is the text listed out, but a Chromebook icon shows up right along with those for Home and phones, so it seems pretty concrete that this is something Google intended to do, but just slipped out a little early.
