Over the years and since the Peeking Launcher and subsequently, the Productivity Launcher have, well, launched, ChromeOS has factored in a slight tinge of the user’s wallpaper into the UI color.

Continue ReadingGoogle reveals the new Pixel Buds Pro at Google I/O 2022 complete with Active Noise Cancellation
Google’s first attempt at a pair of earbuds was just atrocious, in my opinion. A wire connected the two buds, and constantly got tangled, leaving most people with an unsatisfactory experience.
