AIRDROP FOR ANDROID?! Pretty sick sick new feature that I am specifically excited about: Android update that makes Quick Share work with Airdrop. So you can easily share files/images between Android phones and iPhones (starting with Pixel 10)

Android and iPhone users can now share files, starting with the Pixel 10 family.

Today, we’re introducing a way for Quick Share to work with AirDrop.

TWO hundred and thirty dollars 😭 This feels like a litmus test for people who will buy/defend anything Apple releases

You know what's bothering me for no reason? Up until 1080p, we referred to video resolutions by their VERTICAL RESOLUTION 426x240 = "240p" 854x480 = "480p" 1280x720 = "720p" 1920x1080 = "1080p" But then above that, we started using HORIZONTAL resolution, but rounded 7680x4230 = "8K" 3840x2160 = "4K" And then for everything in between, we just... threw that out? 2560x1440 = "2K/1440p" ??? 2772x1272 = "1.5K" ?????????????

Alright let's hear your best TECH hot takes. Like the ones you agree with to bump them to the top 👀
