Google's Pixel Launcher is fantastic. It's short on customization features, but it has plenty of useful tools to help you get the most out of your Pixel phone. While other Android launchers offer more, the Pixel launcher focuses on quality, not quantity. However, it's not perfect. Google forces us to use features like At a Glance, and innovations made by Samsung to its Android skin are unmatched by Google.

The endless barrage of notifications on our phones can feel overwhelming. While many of the messages and alerts we receive are important, the stream of junk serves only to distract us. Even if you don't have your phone on you while you work, notifications can distract you from sleep and relaxation.

By the end of 2025, Google Assistant will no longer be available on mobile devices. The tech giant is retiring Google Assistant whether you like it or not and isn't stopping at phones and tablets. Cars, headphones, and smartwatches will all switch over to Gemini at a later date. However, the transition won't be the same for smart home devices. Google Assistant is the default voice assistant on all of Google's Home and Nest devices, as well as many third-party manufacturers' smart home products.

From desktop PCs to mobile phones, (Remember how the original iPhone came with YouTube preinstalled?) it's been a staple of our digital lives.

RT @thoughtrise: quietly dropping this here today 😌🖕 https://t.co/P7T8FiyK3W
I still find it unbelievable how people can hear this and think "yeah that's regular banter" then act like it's the men who are being sidelined in gaming.
I have never made a more desperate plea that what I am about to say right now. @riotgames @RiotSupport I need you guys to fucking do something. I am an incredibly strong person and I have been streaming for a very, very long time. But absolutely nothing prepares you for someone https://t.co/Gr77uBsBrT
The bug to enjoyment ratio of Helldivers 2 is exactly the same as Skyrim
