The problem is the actual forecast accuracy in the Pixel Weather app is extremely hit or miss. To the point that I just use a third-party weather app/website.

Big surprise, a huge company is also a mob front bilking customers out of their money.

Google Fi just had a free Pixel Watch 3 deal again and I missed it but I am kinda meh on the PW3 anyway, at this point. It is not much of an upgrade over my PW2 LTE and, honestly, I am just gonna stay with it until Google supports newer watches longer. #GooglePixel. #TeamPixel.

Whoa, I guess the Apple CEO rumors were true, and on my late dad's b-day. :) #Apple. www.apple.com/newsroom/202...

Happy 76th birthday in heaven to the man who shaped my world with his quiet strength and endless love. I carry your wisdom in my heart and your laughter in my soul, every single day. Though you are gone, your light never fades. We still miss you more than words can ever say, Dad.

Apple has lost its way. At least iOS 26.1 was usable. I absolutely regret updating to iOS 26.4.1 because it is a huge downgrade in battery life and heat.

Never will listen to Apple YouTubers touting an update, again, until it has been weeks since it rolled out.

Meanwhile, my Pixel 10 is fantastic.

When your Tensor based Pixel feels like significantly cooler than your iPhone, you know Apple done screwed the pooch on this, lol.

I find myself using my iPhone 13 Mini secondary phone less and less these days. Apple just can not figure out the battery life and heat generation issues. I am just scrolling my calendar and my phone feels hot. This started with iOS 26.4.1. Should have stayed on 26.1.

Like WTF? #iOS26. #iPhone13.

Pixel Glow sounds interesting but I never set my phones down face-first. That makes me cringe.

I suppose the LED light could bounce off a glossy surface though. I loved the RGB LEDs I had on the front of my old Nexus phones. #GooglePixel. #TeamPixel. #PixelSuperFans.

Never happened! Instead both 128 GB SD cards I ordered in late March from Amazon have been delayed and delayed and delayed, again. Their customer service keeps lying about them showing up.

Amazon really wants me to cancel because I ordered when they were cheaper and I refuse to do so!

Like they gave absolutely ZERO explanation at all in the email telling me my account was permanently suspended. How very rude.

Um, thanks for randomly suspending my eBay account to make sure I am a real person? Great security check there. Give the person a heart attack and see if they recover enough to reinstate their account by an obscure method to contact customer support.

Happy 75th birthday in heaven, my dearest Mom. I miss your gentle laugh and radiant warmth every single day. I hope you are celebrating among the beautiful spring blooms, today. Your eternal love remains the guiding light that leads us all through every dark moment.

Android 17 Beta 3 lets you control which apps are forced into dark theme Google is adding a new option in Android 17 Beta 3 that gives users granular control over which apps can...

Expanded dark mode is really great, except that the one app I want to use it with, Amazon, looks like trash with it because of course it does. #TeamPixel. #PixelSuperFans. #GooglePixel. #Android17.

What if the added curves in the Android 17 logo represent Google switching to non-linear and physics based animations and moving away from predictable path based easing curves? I am a UI and UX nerd, so this is my wish. #TeamPixel. #GooglePixel. #PixelSuperFans. #Android17.

Can we hide home screen pages like iOS? Can we multi-select apps to move around the home screens like iOS? Can we have stackable widgets like iOS?

This is just basic stuff at this point. #TeamPixel. #GooglePixel. #PixelSuperFans.

Netgear probably greased some political palms. You know, the old fashioned way to get things done in the US.

128 GB base storage in 2026 when everybody else has moved onto 256 GB is diabolical. And it is a terrible value.

Apple gives you double the storage in the iPhone 17 for the same price as Google's 128 GB. #TeamPixel. #GooglePixel. #PixelSuperFans. #Pixel11.

And here is a perfect example of a tech blog glazing YouTube Premium, like I talked about the other day.

I mean, they are entitled to their own opinion, of course, but you all are just begging Google to keep jacking up the price with your undying adulation.

It was everywhere, the floor, walls, ceiling and all over everything. Took me almost an hour to clean it up and, no, I did not take a picture because I was exhausted and it actually woke me and scared the hell out of me.

So this will sound insane, but around midnight last night a can of shaving cream exploded in our bathroom and it created a huge mess.

Like it looked like the scene at the end of Ghostbusters where they defeated the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man. Just a huge mess covering everything.

Updated to iOS 26.4.1 and will have to see how battery life fares. Too early to see right now. Tired of having to even think about this, anymore, honestly. #iOS26. #iPhone13.

The tech blogs keep telling me how much YouTube Premium is worth the money and then a couple of months later, the price gets hiked, yet again, and I smile as I feel great about my decision to avoid that parade of price increases from yet another greedy AF company.
