📱Google finally lets you customize icon shapes on your Pixel's home screen

You only have five total icon shape options to pick from, but it's better than nothing.

This is available in the latest Canary release so far.

Screenshots of each shape👇

📱The Pixel 10 Pro's new always-on display finally shows your full wallpaper

Google has finally launched the 'Ambient AOD' feature I spotted a few months ago! It's available on the Pixel 10 Pro. No word on when or if it'll come to other Pixels.

Remember the Google Jamboard?

That $5,000 digital whiteboard that Google killed off last year?

Three LineageOS developers have brought it back to life! Instead of throwing it out, you can turn it into a cartoonishly large Android tablet or run Android TV on it.

RIP: Google has confirmed that it isn't currently working on a new tablet until it "figures out a meaningful future for the category."

The company also confirmed it isn't developing a smart ring, either.

Oooh. Google Play will require developers submitting TV apps (with native code in them) to provide 64-bit versions starting August 1, 2026, in preparation for "upcoming 64-bit Google TV and Android TV devices."

Are we going to start seeing new TV devices with more RAM soon?

One year ago, the French police detained me for 4 days because some people I’d never heard of used Telegram to coordinate crimes. Arresting a CEO of a major platform over the actions of its users was not only unprecedented — it was legally and logically absurd.

A year later, the ‘criminal investigation’ against me is still struggling to find anything that I or Telegram did wrong. Our moderation practices align with industry standards, and Telegram has always responded to every legally binding request from France.

Ironically, I was arrested due to the French police’s own mistake: before August 2024, they ignored French and EU laws and hadn’t sent any of their queries to Telegram via the required legal process. They could have learned the correct procedure simply by googling it or asking.

One year after this strange arrest, I still have to return to France every 14 days, with no appeal date in sight. Sadly, the only outcome of my arrest so far has been massive damage to France’s image as a free country. 🛠

We’ll keep fighting — and we will win 😎
