Google says Googlebook ‘detachables’ are coming soon  9to5google.com/2026/11/01/go… by @technacity

There's nothing wrong with this joke. Its funny. But Google has supported their Chromebooks and given longer software support than Windows or Mac. Google has a perception and marketing problem though. Killing off a bunch of apps doesn't mean they always kill off every piece of hardware.

Apple's new glowing logo is getting wild praise, while Googlebook's actually-functional Glowbar has largely been panned. The double standard is more than a bit silly. chromeunboxed.com/early-revi…

There’s a slight (but audible) crunch/creak in my iPhone Duo hinge when I open it, which isn’t necessarily cause for concern, but it’s something I notice now which is annoying. It happened after I came to Sri Lanka a couple of days ago, and I haven’t been anywhere dusty, the beach, or really even used the Duo outside, so I wonder if it’s due to the change in humidity and temperature? The rest of my Duo experience has been great though.

I have never heard people complain about fingerprints on a phone, tablet or laptop until I ran into the TECH community on the Internet

yes but have you considered iJustine's working fine

Okay, so I've been talking a lot about game streaming and how it almost makes gaming handhelds obsolete. But I finally found a great reason to get another Xbox Ally: Xbox 360 Emulation. Xbox emulation isn't as far on Android as it is on Windows. And if you switch phones a lot like me, having all your emulators all on one dedicated device is huge. Also, there are times when game streaming can become laggier, and that is when you're on cellular data or when you're running on Xbox's cloud streaming, which is actually worse than GeForce Now. But if you're on your home network, you could always game stream your games to this Xbox handheld anyway. My Z Fold 8 is amazing, but to take advantage of the full screen whenever I'm opening it up wide, because the USB-C port is on the bottom, I basically need to use a Bluetooth controller. So then I need to keep two separate devices fully charged, and then I still have to get the input lag of streaming, especially if I'm out and about. So my plan is to utilize streaming when I'm in the house and utilize GeForce Now in situations at home, but I can always use this one dedicated device for gaming and for emulation in situations when I'm leaving the house or maybe just if I want to keep my phone for other things. Plus the Xbox 360 emulation is nice.

With this fix in place, the whole Googlebook experience feels so much more solid. Still a long way to go, but I didn't realize how much these little screen flickers were really making everything seem so brittle. Much better overall experience working today!

I know it's just the traditional normal thing to do to buy a PlayStation, but it's very outdated right now. On Xbox I can put a disc in my console and then get a digital license and a PC license also off the same disc. Then there are countless handhelds that run Xbox mode and can play Xbox games that I bought on my Xbox console, plus I can run those Xbox games on my PC, at least a lot of them. What do you get on PlayStation? A few exclusives. Just wait until Fable releases and wait until some of these bigger releases all become Xbox exclusive. There is a massive reason to get an Xbox right now and Xboxes are super underrated. But people just buy PlayStation just for those couple of exclusive titles and because everyone else is doing it.

Because Daddy Steve Jobs said I didn’t need one 17 years ago😭😭😭

Apple just invented touchscreen laptops 😯

are we ready to actually revisit “college is a scam” with genuine honesty this time instead of reflexively defending institutions? Because that this point: College is a scam. Health Insurance is a scam. Taxes are a scam. And it’s very hard to argue against that with the experience of the average person who has lived through this economy the at any point in the last 20 years who is under 45… To such a degree the younger generation is advocating for full blown communism. 🤦🏾‍♂️ 🤦🏾‍♂️

So apparently GeForce Now because it runs at a higher frame rate, it can essentially give the same latency as a base Xbox Ally, even though it's streaming. And give me better graphics and I can play on my phone. For $10 a month. Why are people so against streaming?

The YouTuber strategy of paying $2,000 for YouTube to boost videos, only to use that as a reason to charge $5,000 or $10,000 to a company for the next sponsorship, that is alive and well. It's the #1 way for an older dying channel to pretend they are still relevant!
