Main Blog! 

This week, I am running behind on the Android 12 post still, so I have 5 sunset shots posted instead! I do have a mini trailer for the Android 12 post as well!

News!

- You better believe that Pixel 6a leaks are already out! The early renders show a modified Pixel 6 design and a broken tradition with no headphone jack in these renders. Rumours say that, as usual, it will be the best midrange available next year and will push the competition forwards.

- These are leaks of a big DJI Air 2s drone competitor.

- Qualcomm is changing the way that Snapdragon chips are named. The latest, Snapdragon 888, is using these three numbers. Going forward, it will only be one to match Snapdragon Chromebook chip names.

- Despite 3d emojis being promised by Microsoft in Windows 11, the capabilities of Windows are not quite there and changes need made to the "colour font format". For now though, we have the new Windows emoji's that are super unique. At first I thought they were strange, but I have ended up liking them. Windows 11 has a lot of issues, but the design teams have been perfect in both the OS and in marketing.

- Google Pixel Now Playing has a slight update with the ability to heart/favourite songs. Reading into this, there could be a bigger change to now playing coming, or maybe not. It implies that Google is still working on developing this feature.

- An entire German state is migrating Windows users to Linux to encourage and promote software independence.

- Apple sued a company that worked with the government to hack iPhones for the government... I honestly don't think that Apple is going to win. I personally don't think privacy needs to extend beyond the grave, especially if it is valuable information.

- Google is still working to update Gmail and bring Google Inbox features back. After discontinuing Inbox, they promised to bring these features to Gmail, since it was a beloved email service. Unfortunately, it has been a slow process. We are now getting a popular feature called bundles from Inbox to Gmail!

That's it today! Thanks so much for reading, and I'll see you next week!
