I created a passkey for my Microsoft account. Windows Hello kept popping up and the implications were not immediately clear.
When I tried accessing my account with Chrome the Hello authentication prompt kept coming up even though I selected Google Password Manager as the passkey, er, source. When I disabled Hello things made sense again. But now I need my Microsoft account password to sign into the VM.
The #Android Calendar app now has UI for tasks. I uninstalled the Tasks app. I feel this goes against apps doing one thing and doing them well.
I'm surprised that neither #Signal nor #GoogleMessages support multiple reactions on a message. I've gotten used to it on #GoogleChat.
I migrated my #Timeline to on-device. Curating it with the Maps app editor is far more frustrating than it was on the web. I'm gonna have to give up that part of my daily ritual until it gets better. https://support.google.com/maps/answer/14169818
I was poking at my #Gboard settings and discovered something very interesting. A new layout, #ClearFlow, optimized for glide typing. I've been a fan of glide typing since Swype introduced me to it and now there's an even better way? Sure, I'll take it for a spin! https://clearflowkeyboard.github.io
On September 30, 2024, I exchanged my first #RCS messages with an iPhone contact
A big fat #DisclosureIWorkAtGoogle

#GooglePlayMusic in its heyday was far better than anything out now. Apple Music is the closest but it's still frustrating.
If I could bring back one product from the graveyard, it would be this one

I can't wait until I can #RCS with my iPhone contacts https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4o4RpYtYYV4
