@JeremyClarkson McLaren. Or maybe Jaguar if they return to F1!

[Charlie Callow @wollac]

Would be cool to see a @FrameworkPuter 13 mainboard with the new Nvidia RTX Spark SoC. Yes it would almost certainly mean no removable memory which would be a shame but I think it would be a great option to have!

[Charlie Callow @wollac]

@DurvidImel Please tell me this is some kind of joke by their marketing department? Why would anyone use AI to make their photos awfully overexposed!?

[Charlie Callow @wollac]

@MishaalRahman @techdroider Is there any option for the to be account based rather than device based? Or to transfer the setting automatically when setting up a new device. While the security benefits make sense, going through a 24 hour wait on each device could be a pain.

[Charlie Callow @wollac]

@DurvidImel Yeah also quite worrying that OpenAI was happy to then take over the contract and agree to the terms Anthropic refused.

[Charlie Callow @wollac]

@AFKImmortal @SnazzyLabs The terminal ones also look bad. The edges make them look slanted.

[Charlie Callow @wollac]

@schassis_eddi @SnazzyLabs All MX Master mice support Bluetooth or a multi-device dongle. If you buy the "for Mac" versions they don't ship with the dongle in the box but both versions will support any combination of dongles or Bluetooth for any of their 3 device pairings.

[Charlie Callow @wollac]

Should not have upgraded to Tahoe! Liquid Glass is still a mess. How did Apple think this was good to ship?!

[Charlie Callow @wollac]

@dalevon_digital They are solid and I'm very happy with mine, but they're a few years old now so lacking WiFi 7. Might be worth holding out for an updated model or considering other options if that matters to you.

[Charlie Callow @wollac]

@ArtemR That and the number of notifications that Android sends you about reviewing apps with background access to your location etc (again no memory of the fact it sent you all of those for the same apps on the previous device).

[Charlie Callow @wollac]

@_pauljoyce Is there any buy back clause in the deal?

[Charlie Callow @wollac]

@07AP2Zo @ArtemR @spigen @madebygoogle Do you have the XL? I've heard on Reddit that the XL's coils don't align but I think the smaller ones do

[Charlie Callow @wollac]

@litbeep @ArtemR The gen 1 has the same features, besides the charging speed, as the gen 2. So presumably they don't work either?

[Charlie Callow @wollac]

@litbeep @ArtemR That's a bummer. When you say Pixel stand 2 specifically, is that because the Pixel stand 1 works or you just only own and/or have only tested the 2nd gen one?

[Charlie Callow @wollac]

@ArtemR @07AP2Zo @spigen That's a shame. I wonder if the proprietary signal they use to ID & pair them conflicts with Qi2 or if it's just Google being Google and removing the software. Even the 9 Pro Fold could actually pair with them despite not even charging without something to fix the wonky alignment

[Charlie Callow @wollac]

@ArtemR @07AP2Zo @spigen That's fair. I don't use much really but I like having different settings for do-not-disturb and photo display etc between the one in bedroom and chargers other spaces.

[Charlie Callow @wollac]

@07AP2Zo @ArtemR @spigen Does Pixel 10 series still properly pair with the Pixel Stand and uniquely identify them for unit-specific settings?

They still work with 9 Pro but Google hasn't added the 10 series to the list in their docs and I wondered whether it still works alongside the new Qi 2.0 support

[Charlie Callow @wollac]

@dalevon_digital Are you in the latest beta? I have had this glitch with a few different apps at times. I think it's a bug in the launcher rather than any specific app. Usually killing Pixel Launcher or rebooting clears it up.

[Charlie Callow @wollac]

@NUFCMurph I wouldn't be surprised if LFC have already informally put in some offer and agreed to keep it quiet to help NUFC get a replacement over the line first. If the clubs publicly agree a deal before NUFC sign a replacement, it makes it harder to negotiate an affordable price.

[Charlie Callow @wollac]

Interestingly, in Find Hub "Google" is capitalised but "watch" is not (the opposite of My Pixel and different to all other devices which are entirely in title case).

For some reason Pixel 9 Pro Fold is also now missing a photo in Find Hub. Little things but mildly annoying.

[Charlie Callow @wollac]

The new "My Pixel" app is pretty handy for looking up details about your @madebygoogle devices but I hope they fix the capitalisation of "Google" for the Pixel Watch 3 (all other devices seem fine).
