the Google Chromecast is so good it basically makes the Apple TV a $180 Ted Lasso streamer https://t.co/UURUidQ5sc — PolitiTweet.org

google’s phone colors are getting disappointingly boring bring back the stormtrooper look of the Pixel 2. the electric blue of the OG Pixel. heck, even the purple of the 3A is more interesting than the Pixel 5’s _checks notes_ “Slightly Sage" — PolitiTweet.org

@ozskier wanting to get a closer shot of something without having to move is far from an edge case! vast majority of people have no idea how to compose a decent shot with a wide-angle lens — it’s much harder than telephoto! — PolitiTweet.org

google moving the Pixel 5 to a standard + ultrawide camera makes it look good on a comparison table against an iPhone 11, but a telephoto lens is more useful to the average person and I’ll miss it — PolitiTweet.org

@mikeprospero i was getting push alerts whenever i locked/unlocked the box, so i figured i’d get one that said it had locked but nope — PolitiTweet.org

the only redeeming quality of Wear OS is the fact that there’s an app that lets me override the screen time out so i can actually take pics of the thing without having to tap it every few seconds — PolitiTweet.org

normally i’d just put the watch on someone else, but you know, pandemic and all — PolitiTweet.org

i don’t like product photography in general, but i really don’t like taking pics of a smart watch while i’m wearing it and the screen shuts off every 5 seconds — PolitiTweet.org

this laptop doesn’t have the exact same chip we saw in the ref design Monica covered last week, and therefore it isn’t _quite_ as impressive. And despite the 1W display and new chip, the battery life isn’t that impressive. But Intel’s new integrated graphics definitely deliver — PolitiTweet.org

other things learned from Chris’ testing: * Stadia isn’t supported out of the box * But you can side load it, pair up an Xbox controller, and it will work just fine https://t.co/BMFsviG96x — PolitiTweet.org
