  • Google just announced some unexpected and welcome news: Pixel 10 owners can now send and receive files with Apple devices over AirDrop.
    […]
    "We’re bringing this new experience to Pixel 10 first before expanding to other devices.”
    […]
    Moriconi confirmed it was not a collab. “We accomplished this through our own implementation,” he tells The Verge.

    Pretty cool. I wonder what led Google to develop this and how Apple will react.

  • I’ve been using NextDNS for about 1.5 years as a paid customer.

    Sometimes I run into these weird connection issues where nothing loads. I turn off private DNS on Android then turn it back on and pages start loading again. I haven’t had this issue on iPadOS and Windows.

    I don’t know if it’s an Android thing or a NextDNS thing.

    I wish there was an easier way to enable/disable it on their website as sometimes you need to access a website blocked by your filters and it can be cumbersome to remove private DNS in Windows’ settings.

    Other than that it’s worked well.
