All Pixels have the hardware, it's only activated on Japan-based skus. You can root and change the sku to the japanese model and it works. Allegedly the Pixel 11 is only the US sku and the international sku, so all international 11s should have it activated unless they do some serious shenanigans.

Are we the same person?

I subbed to Wired last year during a sale and uh... I was never given a premium account linked to my email and support would never answer me. I signed up for the print edition as well and never received any of those. I was getting their newsletter though and that was new. Then I emailed to cancel when I got a billing notification to my email and they were able to cancel it just fine so apparently I did have an account? And then like two weeks ago I received the latest print edition.

Truly have no idea what that was about, but anyway glad to see someone else out here supporting almost all the same news orgs as me (404media is amazing!)

Samsung trackers also use their own network.

The Pixel Slate actually did run ChromeOS and then could run Android apps in a VM haha.

And those aren't rumors, there is a pretty big effort to get Android ready for ChromeOS and get feature parity. Which to me is really unfortunate, CrOS has such a nice linux base.

This only happens if the AICore app is installed. Since it isn't on Graphene then the full 16gb allocation of ram is available for the entire system.

And just to clarify, Material 3 Expressive is not shipping in these builds, that will be in a quarterly release build in probably in the first week of September.

You can expand or shrink every tile now instead of only being able to swap position of the tiles. So more tiles per page.

Haha what? I simply must know more about how you achieved that!

It runs a custom Android 13 based skin with access to the Play Store.

Cool yeah. I think the thing I was most interested in was interacting with Bluesky through rust. Is there a decent sdk for that?
