The first Android 17 beta is here today! If you have a new-ish Pixel and are enrolled in the beta program, you should be seeing it at some point soon. I can't dive into this quite yet because I'm busy with...uhhh...something I can't talk about. But I look forward to installing this soon!

The Now Playing feature on Pixel phones is often praised for letting you know the song playing around you that you like. But a lesser-known reason I love Now Playing is that it lets me know the music I'm NOT hearing when I have my earbuds in at a cafe. Look at all the stuff I didn't need to hear!

Our Christmas Cactus is blooming, and it looks so nice with the Berry model of the new Nest Cam. Google really knocked it out of the park with Berry. Dear Google: more red products, please!

As a Horizon super fan (I am working on getting a tattoo this year!), this makes me so angry. Honestly, who wants this? The LEGO game I could look past, but it's clear Sony has no idea what to do with this franchise.

At some point recently, Google changed Gemini so that it always defaults to "Fast" when starting a new conversation. As far as I can tell, there's no way to make it default to anything else, which is dumb, because I NEVER use the Fast model. Very lame, Google!

I just don't get System of a Down. I know they are an important band and I respect them, but I find them unlistenable. The best way I can describe them is a high school band that is writing their first metal song — on cocaine.

Holy crap, they actually did it! The $549 NexPhone comes pre-loaded with Android, Windows 11, and Linux! You pick which OS you want to use at any given time. You can also hook it up to a monitor and get a desktop experience on the go with any of the three operating systems. (Spec highlights below)

All signs point to Samsung's Galaxy S26 series being a cut-and-paste job from the past four years. I honestly wonder how long it thinks it can do this? It needs to do something innovative at some point, doesn't it?

Finally got around to listening to YUNGBLUD. It's like someone downloaded a Hot Topic store, uploaded it to ChatGPT, and said, "Now make a band." It was the most milquetoast thing I've ever heard. Kids, if you're reading this, your parents should be SCARED of the music you listen to. This ain't it.
