Every Android phone I've used for years has had the option to show battery percentage in the menu.
It takes Real Strength of Character and True Resolve is to choose to set it to Off.
You don't need it. You are a better person when you have the choice to use it, but do not.

@hankgreen thank you for the little video you made about this clever thing, which I previously did not know existed and might literally be a lifesaver for me.

Been thinking I should get back to making short videos about cool stuff I like? Probably some bike stuff someday. But also, right now? These M251s from @MKBHD are sick and honestly inspiring. Congrats on the launch! #wearyourkicks

Be strong: click the button that closes the window, not the one that closes the tab. You can do it. Let go of your fear. Embrace emptiness. Accept loss. Your tabs will never love you back.

This is how I feel about every city street now. Every time I sit outside at one of those pandemic pop up seating areas I'm like "wait, why was this space dedicated to subsidized parking?" Once you see it, it's all you see.

RCS is the messaging standard that is already replacing SMS and MMS for well over 500 million users around the world.
Apple could provide its users a better experience when they text and set iPhones up for the future.

Tested positive for covid for the first time on the same day as Biden then had my doctor cancel our appointment to talk about covid probably because she also has covid so yeah anecdotally there's a lot more covid out there than before please vax and mask yourself.

SMS/MMS are bad for texting on any platform, so Google worked with carriers to fix it. Yes, it's been messy - it's a hard problem. But sunsetting SMS/MMS and replacing it with something better is what's right for users.
Do what's right for your users, Apple. #GetTheMessage

Proud of my colleagues at Google and friends at Apple for collaborating on a technical standard for detecting unwanted trackers across Android and iOS. Working together protects all users, regardless of OS.

Here's a little video about why I'm excited about Material 3 Expressive on Android. It's a thoughtful, fun, and accessible design system that makes it super easy to adapt to your vibe -- and also it's just so smooth and nice to use. It's beautiful without being ostentatious (unless you want it to be, it can do that too 😅 ).
Also! newly customizable Quick Settings and lock screen. Also also: the haptics... 😘

Me: all cities have their charms. I'll never be that person who says their city is objectively better than other cities.
Also me: then again, this is just like casually a place you can ride your bike to whenever you want then get pupusas on the way home if you feel like it.

Oh hey that's right it's Friday night. Which means that every tab you still have left open is a personal, moral failure. But that's okay, you are still a good person. Even though you failed.

Android has done a ton to make cross-platform tapbacks work with SMS in Messages. Not sure what this iOS 16 claim refers to, but I AM sure that Apple supporting RCS would be better than SMS workarounds - no matter who gets credit🙃

Apple is literally listing the SMS tapback emojis that Google had to hard code into Google messages as an iOS 16 feature.. what

I love the ride on the Embarcadero leading up to the Ferry Building. I love it less when trucks full of garbage decide they're too good for car traffic and just ... Pull in and drive in the bike lane.

Well there goes my afternoon: I will be playing Watch Face Designer for Wear OS. It's a plugin for Figma that lets you craft watch faces right there and then export directly to the Play Store, to Android Studio, to an APK, or even just view directly on your Wear OS 4 device.

Android 16 is here! There is a TON of stuff coming to @android: Advanced Protection, streamlined notifications, a new image editor, fun new emoji kitchen combos, faster transit payments on watch, and much more.
And my personal favorite: Desktop Windowing coming to tablets AND developers can begin testing Desktop Windowing on connected displays for all sorts of devices :)

The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 has been all over my feeds -- probably because having a big screen whenever you want it is great. And with Android 16 and OneUI 8, there's just a ton of stuff you can do to take advantage of all that extra space.

Happy Friday any tabs left open at the end of the day are tiny little pixelated anchors. You don't need them. You won't get to them. They're weighing you down. It's okay to let them go. They aren't helping you. Go forth and surf the web, don't be stuck in one place.

SMS and MMS are the worst and Android supports the modern, secure, and standard replacement for them both. It would be pretty, pretty cool if we could leave 160 characters behind us for good. I mean hell, @VancityReynolds is wasted on his own gin and even he gets it now.

Thanks for the prompt, @geminiapp! Thought I'd show how I used it on a folding phone. :)
Open the Gemini app or gemini.google, upload the photo you want to use, and paste the prompt below. Feel free to tweak the prompt so it’s perfect for your use case.
Prompt ⬇️
Create a 1/7 scale commercialized figurine of the characters in the picture, in a realistic style, in a real environment. The figurine is placed on a computer desk. The figurine has a round transparent acrylic base, with no text on the base. The content on the computer screen is a 3D modeling process of this figurine. Next to the computer screen is a toy packaging box, designed in a style reminiscent of high-quality collectible figures, printed with original artwork. The packaging features two-dimensional flat illustrations.

Center running bike lane on Valencia is so clearly going to be dangerous. Feels so unsafe. I mean, I want to make a right turn here. I honestly don't know how! How to make a RIGHT. TURN. WTF! Cars going straight, turning, pulling around each other. No way they are looking for me.
