One of the weird things about not using a case on your phone is mystery dings. One day, you just wake up and find a ding on your aluminum rails. When did it happen? How did it happen? No clue.

This week will be the first since launch day in which we do not publish a video on my solo channel. Lanh is taking a much-deserved break for the week, and I am going to take a few days off myself to celebrate Thanksgiving. In that spirit, I want to say some thanks to everyone. (1/3 🧵)

If you think AI will eventually alter the very way humans live and thrive, you are woefully mistaken. AI has some cool uses, for sure, but LLM-based AI is only ever going to be refined from here on out. That's why the bubble is going to burst: there's nowhere to go from here but tiny increments.

Many years ago, Google bought Motorola to jump-start the Pixel line. If Google were to do that again, which company would you want to see them buy? Realistic answers only! Google isn't buying Apple or Samsung, obviously.

Google has figured out a way to bring AirDrop to the Pixel 10 series. It works through Quick Share, which is being turned into a standalone app. Google did this WITHOUT Apple's involvement, so who knows how Apple will respond. I can't get it to work yet, but I'll give my notes on it once I have it!

I feel like I've said this before, but I'll say it again: if Thing A does something better than Thing B, that doesn't make Thing B "bad." The RTX 5090 GPU is better than the RTX 4090 — that does not make the 4090 "bad." There is room for nuance when reviewing tech products.

The OnePlus 15 embargo is up. If I don't see every Pixel-hating creator criticize the ridiculous heat this phone makes — so much so that it can't even complete a Wild Life Extreme Stress Test without shutting down — then we'll know that it was never about heat: it was just about hating Pixels.

I am not buying a new car anytime soon, but the number one consideration when I do will be whether or not it has Android Auto. If it doesn't, I will not buy it. Any car manufacturer deciding NOT to include Android Auto (or CarPlay, for that matter!) is making a huge mistake as far as I'm concerned.

I try not to delete any YouTube comments on my videos, but if your comment is just pure negativity that adds nothing to the conversation, I'm going to delete it. I just got one that said "All Pixels are trash." OK...cool, bro. No one cares.
