Absolutely fuming this morning after finding out on the work Teams chat that these are being passed off as mince pies.
They're veggie sausage rolls at best, and not even good ones.
Mince Pies? More like Mince LIES!

Thank you for coming to my Pixel 4 nostalgia tour.

But I was more impressed with Google's Recorder app which also launched with Pixel 4. Live voice to text transcription done fully offline - it's a fantastic tool for interviews and it keeps getting better with updates.

RIP PokΓ©mon Live Wallpaper for the Pixel 4. I remember going to a pre-brief at Google's London offices in 2019 and loving the cutesy feature.

Hello Twitter, I'm looking for expert comment, research and any other insight into the maintenance costs of electric cars. 40% lower than ICE is a common claim. Writing a piece to explore this further. #prrequest #journorequest

The all or nothing nature of our performances is baffling, but very happy today was an 'all' performance.

Do I know any freelancers who could support me with a new site launch from an SEO perspective? Itβs a brand new site/domain, custom Wordpress build, needs tech SEO savviness but also the ability to think about EAT signals, the right taxonomy, page structures, schema etc.

So Apple is continuing to sell 9th Gen iPad alongside new 10th Gen iPad.
Plus, new 10th Gen iPad has a USB-C port (good), but is only compatible with 1st Gen Pencil (bad) - means an adapter is required to charge & pair Pencil with new iPad.
Am I the only one who's confused?

This. And also, I tend to forget the controls if I leave a game for a month or more and the tutorial is long gone once I return.
Quote Tweet
Not enough games appreciate you may leave them for 6 months due to life getting in the way, and you have no idea what to do upon your return.
TV shows have a βlast season onβ¦β intro. Can we have one for games, please?

And finally... I'm really toying with the possibility of buying the #GooglePixelWatch, especially with this enhanced smart home capability.
I used to wear a watch/smartwatch, religiously but I've gone 3 years with nothing.
Could be time to get back on it.
Quote Tweet
Now let's talk access. The Google Home app will soon come to Wear OS and web.
Here's a preview of the app on #GooglePixelWatch, which we shared with you during I/O.

The Home app overhaul is much-needed. In recent years it's become clunky and less intuitive, making it hard to properly get a hold of the whole smart home.
It's also time to ditch the old Nest app for good, and have all legacy cams and thermostats fully integrated into Home.
Quote Tweet
We're excited to share the new Google Home app experience. With new starters and actions rolling out over the next few weeks, you can better control your home with automations. Live camera streams right when you open the app are coming soon as a public preview.ΒΉ

I've got the original Nest Hello doorbell and while it's good, it's not as smart as the (newer) Nest Floodlight Cam on the side of the house. It also doesn't fully integrate with the Home app.
So yes, this is the update I've been waiting for. Hoping for a Black Friday dealπ€
