PSA: YouTube mobile's 480p streaming limit seems to be gone now.

This happened a few days ago, I have also checked with some of my devices and my friends' devices as well, the 480p video quality limit seems to be gone now, both on YouTube Android app and mobile website.

All the resolutions seem to be available now including 720p60 and 1080p60. I don't know if the resolution was limited in other countries as well but in India it seems to be gone now. I just thought I'd let everyone know since it was frustrating for a lot of people....

Get squeeze for Assistant on the Google Pixel 5 and Galaxy smartphones

Hey guys!

So I was messing about with ways to maybe bring back squeeze for Assistant on the Google Pixel 5, and I came across an app on the Google Play Store called SideSqueeze+. Once you calibrate it, I found it works really well. No root required! You can also customize it for a lot of different things, not just to activate the Assistant. It was primarily made for Galaxy series smartphones and has S-Pen gestures too, but I was surprised how well it works on the Pixel 5.

More and more apps and websites are making life unpleasant for those of us with small phones (images linked in denoscription)

Facebook just added [this bar at the top](https://i.imgur.com/8d61aOV.png), leaving my view of the news feed uncomfortably small, and the New Yorker's [persistent 'subscribe' bar](https://i.imgur.com/yszR1g5.png) does the same :/

it's such a bummer because I'm a woman, and a bigger phone will not fit in my tiny pockets. I almost never carry a bag so that's a real dealbreaker for me....
