How to watch the State of the Union address online

By

Just after a record-breaking government shutdown, President Trump is set to address the nation tonight in the annual State of the Union speech. The speech will be in front of a joint session of Congress, and starts at 9PM ET / 6PM PT. Expect some talk on the border wall funding dispute, and likely some discussion of trade policy.

If you’re planning on tuning in, you won’t be short of options. Here are the easiest ways to watch.

Web

The White House will be hosting its own live feed of the speech, and it will be available to stream on YouTube, or in the embed on this page. If you’d prefer to go through TV networks, you’ll have several options on YouTube as well. PBS, CBS, and NBC will all be hosting the address on the service. It’ll also be easy to find the speech on Facebook and Twitter. Major broadcasting networks, including NBC News, will be hosting streams of the speech on their pages.

Apps

A number of apps are also making the speech available to stream. If you have a Roku, the Roku Channel will have the speech freely available, and you can also tune in to the CNNgo and CBS News apps there. If you go the CNN route, you’ll have options on a device of your choosing: the network is dropping its cable log-in requirement across its apps for the State of the Union and Democratic response. If you use a device like a Fire TV, you can open the app there as well.

Other options

Of course, if you pay for a streaming TV service, like Hulu with Live TV or Sling TV, you also won’t miss it. Navigate over to essentially any news network, and you’ll be able to catch the address.

How to install Fortnite on Android

By
Epic Games launched its battle royale hit Fortnite on Android devices last week with a big catch: it was exclusive to Samsung-made phones for a few days as a way to help market the new Samsung Galaxy Note 9. Now, the exclusivity period appears to be over, and beta invite codes are going out to select users of non-Samsung phones like the Google Pixel 2 XL. If you’re itching to dive off the battle bus on mobile, you might have to hold on just a little while longer: there appears to be a waiting list, just like there was when the game launched on iOS. There’s also a bit of trickiness involving exactly how you get the app because Epic announced it would be distributing the Android version of Fortnite on its own terms . Last week, the app was distributed through Samsung’s app store, and Epic is using its own website and a Fortnite Installer program to distribute the game more widely on all compatible Android devices. (Epic CEO Tim Sweeney said this is basically to avoid paying Google...

Apple’s Siri Shortcuts app now available for iOS 12

By
Apple is making Siri a lot more powerful in both iOS 12 and watchOS 5. Siri’s new Shortcuts feature is now available to download for iOS 12 users, and it allows iPhone and Apple Watch users to use Siri to step through multistep routines. Shortcuts replaces the previous Workflow app that Apple acquired last year, and is designed to allow you to create custom commands in Siri that launch apps or combine a number of actions in a similar way to IFTTT. You can do things like tell Siri you’re “watching a movie” and the digital assistant will switch your phone to do not disturb. A number of app developers are also launching their own custom Siri shortcuts with iOS 12, which will help the assistant display more information when you create a custom phrase. Citymapper is one of the first big apps with Siri shortcuts support, allowing you to create a shortcut to ask “when’s my next train” and get relevant updates and even platform information. You can download Siri Shortcuts from the App Sto...
