You no longer need to try a beta to stream Android apps on your Chromebook. Google has released a Chrome OS M115 update that makes Android app streaming available to many more people. If you have Phone Hub enabled, you can run an Android app directly from your mobile device rather than installing it on the computer. The update allows you to reply to a message or check your lunch delivery without the distraction of reaching for your handset.
The feature is still limited to a handful of Android 13-capable phones from Google and Xiaomi. From Google, you’ll need a Pixel 4a or later. Xiaomi fans, meanwhile, need at least a 12T. Both your Chromebook and phone must be on the same WiFi network and physically close by. Some networks might not support the feature, but you can use Chrome OS’ Instant Tethering to establish a link if need be.
As during the beta, you won’t want to use app streaming for games or other intensive Android apps. This is more for responding to notifications than any serious commitment — you’ll still want to install apps for that. It gives Chromebooks some of the phone integration you find in macOS and Windows, though, and may help you stay focused while you work.
The M115 upgrade also lets you sign PDF documents and save signatures to use later. Google has also redesigned the keyboard-oriented Shortcut app with a new interface and easier in-app search.

In a recent exclusive interview with CTV News, James Cameron, the renowned filmmaker and technology expert famous for his contributions to deep-sea exploration and underwater filming, voiced his concerns about the rapid advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AI).
While acknowledging the incredible progress AI has made in various fields, Cameron emphasized the potential dangers associated with its development.

AI has been making headlines for its remarkable achievements in recent years. From AI robots claiming they could outperform human leaders in decision-making processes to the technology’s ability to bring cartoon characters to life, the advancements have been nothing short of awe-inspiring. However, amid the excitement surrounding AI’s potential, Cameron urged for a closer examination of its dark side.
Drawing from his own experience in directing the iconic 1984 film The Terminator, Cameron expressed shared concerns with experts about the development of AI technology. He stressed the importance of understanding the motivations behind the creation of AI, whether driven by profit, teaching greed, or defense, teaching paranoia.
Cameron highlighted that the weaponization of AI poses the greatest danger. He expressed fear that an AI arms race could potentially ensue if countries and organizations do not exercise caution in its development. The film director warned that if one party builds AI for hostile purposes, others will likely follow suit, leading to an escalating arms race.
Despite his concerns about AI’s development, Cameron expressed confidence that AI would not be able to produce emotionally impactful stories like human writers (a possibility raised in the ongoing Screen Actors Guild / American Federation of Television and Radio Artists writers’ strike).
He dismissed the notion of AI bots being able to write compelling screenplays, asserting that genuine human emotions and experiences are essential for creating meaningful narratives that resonate with audiences.
James Cameron’s insights bring attention to the potential risks associated with the rapid growth of AI, particularly regarding its weaponization. As technology continues to advance, individuals, governments, and organizations need to act responsibly and ethically, ensuring that AI is developed and utilized for the betterment of humanity.
