Have you seen NexDeck? @TechWithBrett recently showcased it, though right now, the Pixel only mirrors the screen, while OneIU (Dex) goes into full desktop. youtu.be/R-lh5wkkBI4

Sharing moments shouldn’t depend on the phone you have. Starting today with the Pixel 10 family, Quick Share now works with AirDrop, making secure file transfers between Android phones and iPhones more seamless. This builds on our commitment to cross-OS compatibility to bridge the gap between ecosystems.  We built this feature with security top of mind from day one. Learn more ↓ blog.google/products/android…

View of Starship landing burn and splashdown on Flight 10, made possible by SpaceX’s recovery team. Starship made it through reentry with intentionally missing tiles, completed maneuvers to intentionally stress its flaps, had visible damage to its aft skirt and flaps, and still executed a flip and landing burn that placed it approximately 3 meters from its targeted splashdown point

Android app 1.8.01.22 is rolling out. It has a major update to the status information section at the top of the favorites screen. There’s now more device categories, you can choose which ones are shown and you can control which devices are used in each one. Nice!
