Ask Music” is the name of the AI prompt-based conversational radio in YouTube Music, and it’s seeing wider availability, including internationally, in recent weeks.

The feature appears as a purple card in the Home feed, like Create a radio or the banner advertising the availability of the June – August 2024 recap. Tapping launches a fullscreen chat UI with accepted prompts ranging from a few words — 80s inspired indie, Dreamy synthpop, Saddest songs, etc. — to sentences. 

After a few seconds, you get a playlist card with YTM translating that query into a shorter title and longer description. It auto-plays the first track by default with the ability to save to your library, and provide feedback.

Sorry if the title is worded weirdly. It's just stating that Sony won't release a 5 vi this year. They will keep on selling the 5v.

Through its President in China, OnePlus has confirmed the OnePlus 13 will launch in October, and with "unprecedented" performance.

The Google Pixel Watch 3 isn't a major leap forward for the smartwatch, but offers a better experience across the board.

I don’t need it to be with zero effort, but most of the instructions I find these days on XDA forums are extremely ambiguous and assume the reader is someone who does this every day and therefore knows most of the steps and what the terminology means.

Years ago when I used to do stuff like this more, directions were written meticulously and without abridgment of any elements. Seems today it’s not common for someone to go to the effort.

I’m extremely proficient, that’s not the issue. It’s just most instructions say stuff like “Step 1: root the phone. Step 2…” I’m like “whoa excuse me… how do I root this phone?”

Anyway, so all I’m asking is are there just comprehensive directions for any of these.

There's one problem that plagues every foldable smartphone, and the Pixel 9 Pro Fold perfectly encapsulates what that problem is.

This article goes into more detail about how these new measures will actually work compared to the blog post earlier this year from Google. Namely:

  1. Enabling the OEM unlocking setting will no longer prevent FRP from activating.
  2. Bypassing the setup wizard will no longer deactivate FRP. FRP restrictions will apply until you verify ownership of the device by signing in.
  3. Adding a new Google account is blocked.
  4. Setting a lock screen PIN or password is blocked.
  5. Installing new apps is blocked.

Soooo.... I've never had this issue on any other phone before. Is it normal to get condensation inside the camera lense (wide angle and telephoto)?

it's dried out now, but I can see spots on the inside of the lense now that the water is gone, I can only imagine this getting worse over time, affecting quality. is this worth an RMA?

Xgimi has made a strong name for itself in recent years, producing some of our favorite Google TV projectors like the Horizon Ultra. Now, the company is filling its affordable lineup with new entries like the portable MoGo 3 Pro and Horizon S series, as well as some premium options in the Horizon Aura 2.
