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.

How many times per day do you pick up your phone to do the thing, spot some notifications, check them, scroll a bit, and then put down your phone, only to realize you never actually did the thing? I feel like I'm at maybe 10 times a day.

Google Pixel sales are up a whopping 28% year over year in the United States. Let this be a lesson for anyone who criticized the Jimmy Fallon launch event: Google isn't going after the nerdy Android crowd anymore. It knows there's no growth left within that group. 🧵1/4

I don't hate this leaked Pixel 10a design, but I do wish cheaper Pixels got the camera bar. It would be cool if that was the "Pixel" design that everything had, so you could always immediately tell a Pixel from all the other slabs out there.

Question for people who love to watch tech YouTube videos: Do you care at all if one brand partners with another brand (or personality)? For example, if Google were to announce that Pixel was going to be the official phone of Costco (not real), would you care? Why or why not?
