Three apps have been awarded 2021 Material Design Awards
Material Design
Google is hosting Material Design Awards since 2015 to encourage developers to make use of Material Design and create great apps, This year, there are three apps that have won the award, and here are the list of it:
Motion: Post-it
It's all about animation.
When users capture a note in the app – using their device’s camera – the note is animated upward, lifting off its real-world background and signaling a transition from physical space to a digital experience.
Large Screen: Todoist
Much more productivity on a large screen device.
Column-based layout grids provide convenient structure for creating and testing such layouts, also allowing for quick decisions about how components adapt; bottom sheets in Todoist respond to screen size to maintain clarity, context, and readability, and navigational components make more use of increased screen size.
Dark Theme: Meetly
A dark experience.
Illustrations in the app serve as an important part of Meetly’s approach to branding – like other components, replacing bright background colors with darker, less saturated alternatives that ensure the relationship between background and foreground, UI and illustration, is maintained across themes.

Google Duo will remain as Google cancelled their plan to merge it with Meet

Meanwhile if you see Duo recent development, there only just Material You redesign for the app and that's pretty much it, hence the idea of merging two services together.
Later, Google told 9To5Google that there has been “no change in our plans to continue investing in our consumer users." when they are asked for comment. And for the past year, in order to rebut the state of the service, they have offered the following features:
• Refreshed Duo UI to support Material You
• Expanded tablet and foldable device support
• Brought Duo to Samsung TVs
• HD screen sharing
• New screen sharing controls
• New spam controls and protections
• Improved contact search
• Launched 18 new video effects
• Many under the hood improvements to quality and reliability

Pixel 6 seems to prevent audiophiles from using external DAC to listen media
Android Police
In order to truly listen to lossless quality music, you need external DAC and a pair of premium headphones, but unfortunately Pixel 6 is having issues over this part.
Many Pixel 6 owners reported that connecting external Hi-Fi DACs over USB-C doesn't have any sound output, with some music apps end up crashing, and some play screeching sound. The issue is already first reported way back in November, even though the issues has been posted on Google Issue Tracker, still on the December update, the issue isn't fixed yet.
Just to mention that external DACs isn't very popular, so there not a lot of users being affected. Less reports mean Google can hardly noticed it, hence this explained why Google didn't fix it then.

Google Docs Twitter account posted that they are adding autocorrect for em dash, also quoting comedian Alexis Gay's video about her love of the punctuation mark to mark the occasion.
By default, you can tap the dash button three times on your Google Docs and it will automatically change it as an em dash. By tapping only two times, it will just change it as an en dash (a short version of en dash).
Anyway, you can head to Tools > Preferences > Substations to edit it to your own preference, for example you can just type two dashes and Google Docs will replace it as an em dash.
