I miss ten years ago, when Googlers jumped out of a plane whilst in a Google Glass video call and landed straight into IO. Yeah it was a gimmick, but it got us all talking.

I miss when Android was less mature and had a lot of catching up to do, and IO was the delivery of all the exciting enhancements coming to Android.

It's hard to get excited when the biggest announcements this year will be... "We made our AI better, buy our phone and you'll be able to use it".

Pirate Guitar Pro, install it, and download the GP files from Ultimate Guitar. Easy.

Take a break from Reddit, uninstall all apps, clear cookies off all your browsers for reddit.com, wait a few weeks for your IP address to change, then make a new account.

Kinda sick of this meme. It's not dead, it was replaced by Health Connect.

Google Fit was the 'hub' for fitness-related data for all apps. Developers could link their app to Fit so users had one place for all their health data.

Android took over Fit's role and called it Health Connect, which is now out of beta. Health Connect is the API that developers now use to store their data in one centralised location on the user's device.

If anything, this is just a logical next step. Should Google have just started with Health Connect? Obviously. but I think it works better as an Android service and not a Google one.

Google Fit is sticking around (for now), as a user app for tracking fitness. It uses Health Connect API to store data, and now other developers need to use Health Connect instead of the Fit API.

I take it you weren't around for the Nexus 7 (first edition)?

I'm not in the beta, and this is what my WhatsApp looks like now. This might be old news, but until today I had the green UI.

(Sorry for the crappy censor job. I wish Android had a blur feature built-in)

Which phone do you have? I've been able to disable that "swipe left to access Google" thing on every Google Pixel I've ever owned. Just long-press your home screen and go to home settings and disable it.

That's ok.

I use revanced for YouTube on my Android phone.

I use Smarttube Next for YouTube on my Android TV.

It works wonderfully.

That isn't new, that's how ad networks work. Google owns one of the largest ad networks.

It's important to me - I don't use phone cases.

This never made it to outside the US, what exactly was it? (the linked help page doesn't actually say)
