@doll_debbie @whatsinside The fact that you used it from someone that had already taken it from his post and cropped out the image makes this prove his point by 2x.

@whatsinside I did not steal your graphic. Here’s where it was originally seen by me on IG. I would have happily quoted your pic and/or post if I saw it. It was not my intention to “steal” your content.

When someone steals your graphic and edits out your logo in the corner 😂 x.com/whatsinside/st…

@tomas_villegas @SnazzyLabs You think I'm made of energy?

@TechWithBrett @SnazzyLabs I’m going to have to ask both of y’all to step your game up.

Everything is built like crap and nothing can be fixed.

Insert @SnazzyLabs throwing Galaxy Flip video here:

@qbking77 @tldtoday Great to hear you are improving!

Update on this: Thankfully on the mend, but still need to rest up. Really appreciate all the kind words! I'll hopefully get back to filming some content very soon. Also, shoutout to @tldtoday for his insight and just being an overall great guy.

@mattyxb @YouTube Nice work! So it looks like it's not just my views that are down for the last few years.

4 BILLION VIEWS ON @YouTube

You have to open Safari, then download Chrome, then open Chrome and download Edge, then once that is installed you can then download Firefox.

@AnishKattukaran Love to hear it!

Update on Gemini for Home voice assistant latency. We just finished rolling out a major under-the-hood update targeting hundreds of your most common smart home device commands (like "turn off the lights"). We've slashed latency by 30%-40% for these top requests, and we're seeing error rates drop significantly across the board. Your smart home should feel noticeably snappier today. Still more to come but try it out in Early Access and let us know if you're feeling the speed improvements for these kinds of queries.

@itstheBMAC @YouTube I found this out today as well by randomly exporting a very high res version. I couldn't believe it!

Don't know when it officially rolled out, but we can FINALLY upload thumbnail images greater than 2MB on @YouTube now! 🎉

@Grace_Yang_ Does this mean I need to pick up an Android XR headset?

📢 Android XR has a new home for community chatter: r/AndroidXR on Reddit! Whether you are developing immersive experiences or are curious about the platform, we invite you to join the conversation and connect with others in the community.

The new System menu on today's Pixel update is so much better.

Today's Pixel drop now gives an option to swap navigation buttons. My wife is probably the only person that will actually use this.

@AnishKattukaran Looks like I found a Favorites glitch. This was even after a new install of the app.

@TechWithBrett Agree that we can can do more to improve latency for smart home device control. Team is working on it!

Okay, that's a lot to unpack, but those are my updates for today. Keep the Early Access feedback coming—it directly helps us ensure we deliver the core quality and reliability you expect, in particular as this rolls out to more users.

@AnishKattukaran Thanks Anish for the updates and focus on improving the Google Home experience. I'd love to see controlling devices by voice see a speed bump, as it is currently the slowest assistant to control the lights.

The team will be updating our official release notes with all of these details shortly. You can bookmark and keep an eye on them here: g.co/home/notes

@mweinbach So is it how they are using regen, or is that just a symptom of using regen?

@TechWithBrett This isn’t the mode for the car it’s the driver You can disable regen breaking but then it hits your range hard

Uber needs to require a driving a Tesla comfortably course before allowing drivers to join I’m watching this dude be super twitchy tapping the pedal every like 5 seconds and letting regen kick in

@SamsungMobile Watch now! youtube.com/live/SA93zbnoR…

At @SamsungMobile Unpacked. Excited to see what the new Galaxy brings to the table.

@MattFisher515 Haha! It is advanced and I keep finding things it can do but not sure why the simple things are so confusing.

@TechWithBrett That Govee app is really an absolutely awful experience. You were right all along, Brett!

Can the Govee Pro lights be extended beyond 200 feet?
