It's because these apps that work in Android Auto also work in Android Automotive, which is Google's in-car OS that uses similar app design.

Hmm, not there for me. I subscribed for a month already so maybe that's why.

[-] darrsil@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah, I had already done that. I had the notification when I woke up, but it didn't play any sound.

[-] darrsil@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Where do you find that?

[-] darrsil@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I had already done that. The notification was there in the morning with DND on, but it still didn't make any sound.

Last night in my area we had a bad storm when we were sleeping, and because I keep my phone in DND mode at night I didn't receive any sort of audible alert despite having the "Override Do Not Disturb" checked.

This is because the Wireless Alert technically doesn't have a notification sound, it has some other type of sound (not media either) that is being blocked by DND.

You can't adjust these notification settings, as the OS prohibits you from changing Wireless Emergency Alert settings.

This is potentially a big issue - I don't want to miss and incoming Tornado alert because my phone is on DND mode. Google needs to sort this out.

This is crazy. Google is delaying a competitor to Apple's network so Apple can support it better? Of course they're going to slow-walk it.

New? Nearby Share has been around for at least a year. The issue is no one knows about it, because as usual Google is horrible with branding.

They should have just called it "Google Beam" or something like that.

Can we just get a new Pixelbook instead?

[-] darrsil@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

One note I noticed about USB-C dongles and headphones is that they need to be powered, whereas traditional headphones do not. So the headphones draw power from the phone, which then hurts battery life.

If there is one thing Google is committed to, it's being unstabally committed to all of its products.

Probably because the cat is already out of the bag there. Hard to reign them back in and they'd have tons of bad press if they do that.
