Sometimes you need a fair and equitable way of deciding who goes first in a board game, which child has to have a bath first or you need a way to divide people onto teams. You could draw straws or you could use Chwazi.

Android: If you’ve upgraded to Android Pie, you’ve likely found a host of new features on your device, as well as some new visual changes. One of the coolest changes is the ability to change the look, colour and layout of the quick settings and notification display menu.

Apple has Siri, Amazon has Alexa, Microsoft has Cortana and Google has Google Assistant. One of those names is not like the other but the functionality of Google Assistant is still up there with the other personal assistant apps. Here are a few things you can do with it.

Oppo's notch-defying, bezel-free smartphone is about to arrive in Australia. Here's everything you need to know about the local launch, including specs, pricing and availability.

Android: If you’re a Pixel XL user and have been stalling on updating your phone to Android Pie, you may want to hold off entirely.

Renting sucks. Finding an affordable place sucks. Finding a place that will accept your application sucks. Not least of all, being at the mercy of Australia's fractured internet landscape and gambling on what sort of connection - if any - your new home will have sucks.

Now you can search for NBN ready properties to make the process suck a little less.

Android: If you’ve updated to Android 9 Pie, you may have noticed that your smartphone will now automatically turn on your Wi-Fi connection — if you’ve turned it off — when you’re near familiar network with a strong signal. This feature, which debuted in Android Oreo, is now flipped on by default in Android Pie.

Last week, Epic Games announced it was bringing Fortnite to Android, making it first available exclusively for Samsung users. That exclusivity was only supposed to last for "a few days" and it looks like now the beta is starting to open up for non-Samsung users as well.

The Samsung Galaxy Note 9 is, by all indications, the best Galaxy phone yet. Unfortunately, it's also bloody expensive. On the plus side, you can currently save $300 on the 512GB model with no strings attached. Here are the details!

We can finally dispense with the endless leaks and rumours - the Samsung Galaxy Note 9 has officially arrived! Here are the specifications, pricing details and release date for the Australian market.

The Fortnite Beta For Android dropped in this weekend which meant that you could shoot dudes and build forts on your phone. That is, you could do those things if you had fairly recent a Samsung Galaxy phone. Everyone else had to patiently wait - or play Fortnite on a different platform.

Luckily the exclusivity period is about to expire and people with a range of Android phones will be able to download, and play, Fortnite Beta for Android. Here's the full list.

Android: Fortnite Battle Royale, one of the most popular battle royale games around, is finally on Android. And you get first dibs with the beta if you own a Samsung device — a list that includes its flagship Galaxy S9 / S9 Plus (and its predecessors, the S8 / S8 Plus); the Note8 (and the just-announced Galaxy Note9, when it arrives later this month); as well as the Galaxy S7, S7 Edge and Tab S3.

The Lifehacker staff sifts through a ton of apps on a regular basis, but a few have stuck with us over the years. Some apps are simply nice to have, while others have become essential in our daily lives. From dealing with irate dragons to counting our mindfulness minutes, each app on this list has a special place in our hearts (and our homescreens). Best of all, they're completely free to download!

Maybe you bought a brand-new phone; maybe your phone just went through a major OS update. Either way, the result is the same: you can't connect it via Bluetooth to your older car anymore, which means you've lost the ability to rock out, enrich yourself with podcasts, or make hands-free calls.

Samsung officially unveiled the Galaxy Note 9 today, the latest in its stylus-welding line of smartphones. This year's model starts at $1499 for the 128GB model and $1799 for a 512GB version. If you want one, it's probably in your best interest to act fast.

The world's most popular video game is now available on select Android devices. Here's everything you need to know, including new footage of the new mobile version in action!

We've known for a while now that the Pixel 3 XL smartphone will be coming with a notched display. (It's something Pixel fans are going to have to get used to.) A new unboxing video just gave us our closest look at the notch yet - and it's even more obtrusive and ugly than we imagined.

It feels as though Google has held the market on “point your camera at it to learn more” technology for some time now, first through its Translate app, which let you target signs in foreign languages with your smartphone’s camera and receive translations on the fly, and now via Lens, which expands this technology to give you plenty of information about the objects in photos you’ve taken (or are about to take).

When was the last time autocorrect made your life easier? Reach back in your memory and try to conjure up a time that autocorrect really nailed it.

I know we only notice technology when it's not working, but if you can't think of one, it's time to accept that autocorrect is bad.
