Android 16 is also getting a new feature: Parental Controls! Parents can now easily manage their child's screen time, app usage, and more. This feature is also PIN-protected to keep your settings secure. (🧵2/5)

Some big Android updates happening today! First, Android 16 is getting custom icons! Well, sort of...you can now change the shape of icons and Android will automatically theme icons that don't adhere to the theming rules. Better than nothing, but not the icon pack support we REALLY want! (🧵1/5)

Here it is: the Samsung Galaxy Z TriFold! It's basically a Galaxy Z Fold 7 with an extra panel. In fact, most of the specs are the same, including the SD8 Elite, the same triple-lens rear camera, the same charging speeds, etc. Price not disclosed yet, but rumors point to $2,500. Coming Q1 2026!

01.12.2025 01:38 — 👍 3 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0Finally, thanks to all my family and friends for supporting me along the way. I wouldn't have been confident enough to start my solo channel without them, and it really means a lot to me. Anyway, I'm excited to see what things will be like this time next year. 🦃 Happy Thanksgiving, all! (3/3 🧵)

Whether you subscribe to my YouTube channel, visit my Discord, or just check in on me here every once in a while, it has been so amazing to see so much support as I've started on this journey. It's crazy to think it's only been four months! (2/3 🧵)
27.11.2025 14:52 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0This week will be the first since launch day in which we do not publish a video on my solo channel. Lanh is taking a much-deserved break for the week, and I am going to take a few days off myself to celebrate Thanksgiving. In that spirit, I want to say some thanks to everyone. (1/3 🧵)

AI has some cool uses, for sure, but LLM-based AI is only ever going to be refined from here on out. That's why the bubble is going to burst: there's nowhere to go from here but tiny increments.

AirDrop on Pixels is HERE! 📤 #airdrop #android #googlepixel #technews #tech
Yes, you're hearing this right: you can now AirDrop a file from a Pixel to an iPhone. No apps, no rooting, no hoops to jump through. Watch to see!
Google has figured out a way to bring AirDrop to the Pixel 10 series. It works through Quick Share, which is being turned into a standalone app. Google did this WITHOUT Apple's involvement, so who knows how Apple will respond. I can't get it to work yet, but I'll give my notes on it once I have it!

20.11.2025 14:10 — 👍 2 🔁 1 💬 0 📌 0Even then, that doesn't make Thing B bad. That might make Thing B have weaker value than Thing A or appeal to a different market segment, but it is not bad.
18.11.2025 18:42 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0I feel like I've said this before, but I'll say it again: if Thing A does something better than Thing B, that doesn't make Thing B "bad." The RTX 5090 GPU is better than the RTX 4090 — that does not make the 4090 "bad." There is room for nuance when reviewing tech products.

NEW video is live! This is an open letter to Google to STEAL the OnePlus 15! https://youtu.be/XkJbbZIBHyA
14.11.2025 14:06 — 👍 1 🔁 1 💬 0 📌 0The 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.

Welp, the Steam Frame just killed the Galaxy XR dead in its tracks. A VR headset designed specifically for the audience that buys VR headsets? What a concept! https://store.steampowered.com/sale/steamframe
12.11.2025 18:07 — 👍 4 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0I 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.
12.11.2025 15:22 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0Finally, a goofy thing is "Remix" in Google Messages. You upload a photo and then "remix" it using AI. Anyone in the chat, even iPhone users, can view it. Other Messages users can even remix the same photo. Works in English for Messages users with RCS in the US, UK, AUS, CA, IND, IE, and NZ. 🧵9/9
