Really seemed like this was inevitable - it will be interesting to see if their fair use defense pans out.

I don't expect it will, and I'm worried of the impact of that precedent on the legitimate fair use circuit...

Depending on your usage, wired (due to being slow charging, typically) can actually drain the battery faster than it charges.

But since you're using it tirelessly, you can use a fast charger via your 9v outlet (or other fast charging USB).

It sucks it uses so much power, but you're probably better off if you need to charge your phone anyway

Really been enjoying Against the Storm - though I play mostly under 1x speed so I spend so long per level lol - slowly adjusting to speeding up...

Protip: Many cars use slow charging USB 2.0 for wired Android Auto - if you use this, you cab instead plug your phone into a fast charging outlet instead

Yes please!

The whole buffer/quick record that's been added to video card drivers have been a boon for capturing those blimo and you'll miss it episodes of hilarity.

Pretty sure it actually predates Apple's version too...

This is exactly why restaurants shouldn't use QR codes as menus, they're attack vectors - anyone can just come in and slap on their own QR sticker.

Not yet - it has an API but any bridge hasn't been built. (To my knowledge)

Tbf you weren't required to watch, just had to follow the link in the article to the gleam page.

I'm sure the robots will enjoy their new OLED though.

I just use the ping integration of Home Assistant, simple for me since I've already got HA running.

That functionality only works with Google Keep. Google killed off integration with third party apps early this year.

I've just sworn off using it and using the app we were already using manually. Sort of hoping the year of voice will eventually produce a viable replacement because I'm sick of Google killing shit off and forcing you to use their app. "Be different, not the same" 🙄
