This has been hidden in developer options for a while now, but they're now releasing it officially. Limited to Pixel 8 and newer devices and no 4k yet.

Why say "Your Pixel can now..." when my Pixel can't? Why not say "Pixel 8 and newer devices can now...".

JTskulk, it is only your Pixel that can not. It works for older Pixels as well, but they specifically tied a few kill switches to your commonly known geo-locations and anyone who ties their shoelaces in a fashion deemed less mertiable.

Yeah meanwhile I was over in the corner trying to figure out how all my laces are tangled in the Velcro of my roller blades. I swear whoever designed Velcro and laces to exist on the same contraption was just trying to be a dick

LOL, sorry bud, but it's only YOUR laces that get caught in Velcro. Other people's laces are Velcro-resistant. Your rollerblade manufacturer is just fucking with you.

damn, I knew there was an alterior motive to the knee pads, no one liked those things.

Jokes on them, I wear velcro shoes!

Ian Knot ftw. Can't beat it.

I have to deduct a merit for myself, as I now see I spelled meritable with a typo.
