I hiked a couple miles around a lake known for its wildlife. It didn't disappoint.

I had the chance to take a few shots near sunset while out for a walk. These are a few of my favorites.

I'm really liking the Virtual Assistant. Here are two examples of incoming calls that were handled by the assistant. The one from RingCentral was a call I needed to take and it gave me the opportunity to answer, which I did. The spam call from the "loan department" or whatever, I never knew the...

The watch compatibility issue would definitely frustrate me. I had a Pixel 3 watch but never really liked the Pixel Watch style. I gave it to my son and went with the Galaxy watch 7, which is way more my style. I'm fortunate it has no compatibility issues. I was having an issue with Android...

I got my Pixel 10pro XL on Friday and I think, even though I did a restore from my Pixel 8 pro, I'm settled in and have now completed the transition (5 days later). This is not a knock on Android but just a statement on the complexity of what we use our devices for these days. I have multiple 2...

As it ends up, the issue was not with my new P10PXL, it was with the stereo system in my truck. After resetting the head unit Android Auto started working without issue. It's crazy how much I relie on the Android Auto system. I've been using it for a few years now and I travel around 55k miles...

Thanks for the heads up, I have a pop socket on the way.

Has anyone else been playing around with the new voice edits in Google photos or Gemini? My MIL posted an old photo of her father on FB. I downloaded it and ran it through a few voise requests to remove the damage and colorize. I think it did a fairly good job. Better than I would have done.

Here is what I've found, it looks like Google has a fix rolling out (soon, I hope).

It's a factory 8" screen unit in a 2022 Ram 1500. I had no issue with my P8P. I've also connected the P10PXL to my wife's 2024 Ram 2500 with the 12" screen, it works perfectly in her truck. I did a little Google search after posting and there is apparently a known issue for some vehicles. An...

I connected my P10PXL to my truck yesterday and had no audio from Spotify. After testing and troubleshooting I found I had no audio from YouTube as well. I haven't tried making a phone call to see if I have the issue there as well yet, but will try that today. I wiped out the connection on both...

That is definitely what's happening over here. I'll keep using this one on my phone for the duration. It was cheap and came in a three pack.

First shots, only edit was a little cropping for composure.

Thank you for the feedback, I ordered the porcelain case from the Google store yesterday. Looks like it will be delivered mid-week. I'm looking forward to giving it a try.

I didn't want to recommend this wireless charging bank until I tested it, so after using my new P10PXL for a bit this morning and getting the battery down to about 90% I put this on the back and kept using my phone. After 20 minutes (all screen time) I was at 99%. This is going to be very useful...
