You need a tripod or something to rest the phone against. The prompt to take an astrophotography photo doesn't come up until the phone had been held VERY still for 5-10 sec.

So what we knew all along... It was possible to do these not-so-processor-intensive tasks on older pixels and other devices after all.

I hate that Google artificially limits these features to new phones. The only reason I've stuck with pixel this long is their call assistant to answer then decline spam calls without having to notifying me.

Does it have any widgets lines the cure day/time/weather or 5 day outlook.

I'm one of those people that would rather have a weather widget on my home screen than opening an app every time.

Not open source, but I use the Google TV chromecast in "apps only" mode.

Its very minimal but you still get a single picture of whatever show is being promoted that week. No other intrusive adds have been added {yet}.

It also breaks Google Keep & Google Drive in Firefox.

OP has pixel and is in the +1 area code from the picture meaning they are in America. So I don't get why he/she is not using Google Call screen.

I still get spam calls, but my phone never rings or alerts me. The only way I find out is by occasionally opening call history. The assistant can recognize most spam automated messages and it automatically hangs up. For real spam callers; they mostly hang up when they realize they have to talk to a robot first.

I fixed that issue long ago by filling up my voicemail so no one can leave a voice message. Then have your voice mail tell people to send you a text.

You think switching your number is less complex than using call screen?

That would literally involve changing your number with most major web services you use including your bank BEFORE you get rid of your old number. Better hopr you don't forget one because your not gonna get that sms verification code to log back in.

Did you read the article?

  1. Epic is not trying to get their 3rd party app in apples app store.
  2. Epic can't create a 3rd party app store because Apple revoked their developer license. This means any app epic creates can't be sideloaded because it will never be signed by apple.
  3. Apples new rules require any 3rd party app store to pay apple $0.50 per install (there is no million app install requirement for 3rd party app stores). So apple would still make money off epics app store if they allowed it.

I stopped going to movies after covid, but i was at one movie whereca fight broke out in that exact scinario. A group showed up right as the previews were ending to find other people had taken their seats. Its escalated where the girls were physically fighting and the manager had to break them up.

AMC restarted the movie and gave everyone a free ticket to another movie after this 2 girls were escorted out.

OR... if you can keep the wheels spinning really fast, you could "drift" the trolly, keeping a set of wheels on each track and kill everyone on both tracks into infinity.

The same way you trigger text selection or screenshot. Just swipe up and hold, and it would be the 3rd option to the other 2.
