Google Pixel 4a hands-on video leak shows 6GB RAM, Snapdragon 730, and hole-punch display
Just like we saw with the Pixel 4 and the Pixel 3a before it, the Pixel 4a has fallen into the hands of a tech blog. We now have a hands-on video to enjoy.
Polls say that most of the people (at least enthusiasts) use dark mode on their phones. Why are there so many power users that want dark mode scheduling?
I have recently seen some polls where over 80% of participants use dark mode wherever it's possible. Dark mode has always been the way to go on custom ROMs, etc. - generaly speaking for us, enthusiasts - it's a must have, isn't it? And now Android 11 may come with dark mode scheduling and I can see a lot of power users being excited about that. I wonder why is that. Personally, I would rather use dark mode 24/7 and I suspect most of our community would so too. Is there really anything to be exci...

So here we go, after years of fun messing around using Magisk, it seems that Google FINALLY decided to "fix" SafetyNet to something useful, and that is to use key attestation to verify device status (after 3 years since introduced to Android's platform!)

The Potential of Android 11's Bubbles
Does something like this open the door for dragging and dropping?
Ex: In Google Photos,click a picture, drag it to the messages bubble, and it drops there, ready to send.
Feels like it has potential to be great for multitasking, but current apps would probably need to be reworked. to support dragging.
Or is DnD something way too difficult to implement?
EDIT - Found this old article talking about Google patenting drag and drop.
