The Upside Down is back in ‘Stranger Things 2’ trailer

Things still aren’t okay in Hawkins. Will might be back but there still seems to be a darkness lurking in town. This new Super Bowl ad for the second season of Stranger Things just confirms that our beloved kids aren’t out of the woods just yet. The short trailer shows off footage from a classic Eggo commercial from back in 1979—perhaps reminding us that Eleven is still okay. The show is coming back aptly on Halloween this year and we honestly can’t wait.

Google Assistant might be making its way to Nexus devices

One of the things that set new Pixel devices apart from its Nexus predecessors was Google’s Assistant feature. But that might not be the case in the near future. 9to5Google’s Stephen Hall tweeted that Google informed him that Assistant is coming to future updates of the Nexus 5X and 6P. If this happens, the feature will follow in the footsteps of the fingerprint gesture, which arrived first on the Pixel and has made its way to the Nexus 5X because of popular demand. If true, this move might also be good for Google to help develop the machine learning capabilities as well as expand the user base of Google Assistant.
