Every Android phone I've used for years has had the option to show battery percentage in the menu.
It takes Real Strength of Character and True Resolve is to choose to set it to Off.
You don't need it. You are a better person when you have the choice to use it, but do not.

Be strong: click the button that closes the window, not the one that closes the tab. You can do it. Let go of your fear. Embrace emptiness. Accept loss. Your tabs will never love you back.

SMS/MMS are bad for texting on any platform, so Google worked with carriers to fix it. Yes, it's been messy - it's a hard problem. But sunsetting SMS/MMS and replacing it with something better is what's right for users.
Do what's right for your users, Apple.

Me: all cities have their charms. I'll never be that person who says their city is objectively better than other cities.

Android has done a ton to make cross-platform tapbacks work with SMS in Messages. Not sure what this iOS 16 claim refers to, but I AM sure that Apple supporting RCS would be better than SMS workarounds - no matter who gets credit🙃

Happy Friday any tabs left open at the end of the day are tiny little pixelated anchors. You don't need them. You won't get to them. They're weighing you down. It's okay to let them go. They aren't helping you. Go forth and surf the web, don't be stuck in one place.

SMS and MMS are the worst and Android supports the modern, secure, and standard replacement for them both. It would be pretty, pretty cool if we could leave 160 characters behind us for good. I mean hell,

This is a huge deal! There are many benefits to having the same plug for multiple types of cables, but knowing which ones do what has always been too complicated. Just having your computer tell you what the cable is capable of is incredibly helpful.
Coming to Chrome OS M102: Newer Chromebooks (11th Gen Intel or newer) will notify you if the USB-C cable you're using with a dock or a monitor does not support DisplayPort!
