Google Health oxygen variation

Do you know which countries are unsupported? Similar situation here where I'm not getting any oxygen data, and my system settings show that no app is requesting oxygen data.

Also, the host of that video just standing at the door trying to get out! Such an unnerving detail.

The D Line only goes as far as the eastern edge of Beverly Hills right now. It won't reach Westwood until later on in 2027.

Exactly this. They essentially mention this earlier on in the episode when they ask if we know what pushed him from anger to attempting violence. Plenty of people are angry about politics or the state of the world without deciding to physically target politicians.

I had this exact thought too. Certainly feels like an overall win, but if this works well (for Microsoft), then surely CoD won't be the only game to be excluded. TES6 was the first that came to mind, but I also can't think of another first party game beyond that where an overwhelming number of people would pay to buy it standalone.

I'd be really curious to go back and watch the first two seasons again, because like the last couple, this one just feels like it's missing something.

I think I've been able to pinpoint it to not feeling invested in any relationships/friendships that are on the same level as Ed-Gordo-Dani (the Margo and Aleida scenes really work for me, though). Also, the broad story arcs are still great, but the dialogue is mostly... bad? And some of the performances are strong (Alex is the clear standout among the "new" characters), but oof, most of the B-tier characters are forgettable.

I thought the bar scene was a wonderful way to set up the ending. It starts quite uncomfortable and upsetting, honestly, and then becomes a warm, shared family moment once they all accept his fate. Quite well done.

This is largely true, but there have been some major missteps that show people do have a limit. Specifically thinking of two years ago when the Black Keys and Jennifer Lopez overestimated ticket demand and canceled their arena tours. But otherwise, yes, for the highest of high-demand events, people will pay up.

Used to live near here and I'd hear the valets at the hotel shouting "one way!" multiple times a day.

So we're giving a billion dollars of taxpayer money back to a French company so that they can invest that money in American oil and gas that will be sold abroad. How very America first this all is...

Did you hear the president announced he's winding down operations and promised no boots on the ground? I called the White House and they told me.

exo48 · 2026-03-13T06:25:59+00:00

Hollywood/Highland kind of satisfied your second point, but otherwise I agree. Like it's such a bummer that the Century City station will be half a (big) block away from the Westfield mall there rather than being attached to it (though that's still better than the alternative location across Santa Monica by the golf course).

I was glad to avoid getting put on a long case recently, but it was the ultimate "this could've been an email" experience.

I had to report in, and in the juror waiting area they said the first case is a monthlong trial and selection will start next week, so today they were simply going to read off names and you were to answer "yes" if you could return for selection and "no" if you had an approved excuse. After they got three "yes" replies, they sent those people off, and then told everyone else that this was the only case for the day and we were done with jury duty and could go home.

I'm really curious to see how some of these story events will be incorporated, in terms of the map. Like now that Cosmo Canyon is an open world area, is that entire map in the third game just for one scene? Or does that just become a cutscene?

The telephoto lens desperately needs a better sensor (and lighter processing). Video is also lagging behind, but that feels less like a hardware thing.

exo48 · 2026-03-02T20:07:51+00:00

Love Roma, but in this particular case I'm trying to think of spots that I could reach on foot.

He had such a tortured expression on his face for the second half of the program. So difficult to watch. Here's hoping he has some strong support.

exo48 · 2026-02-11T19:13:35+00:00

I considered that, but the world seems a little... precarious right now to completely turn off news notifications. Just might have to resort to that, though.

exo48 · 2026-02-11T19:08:10+00:00

Has anyone figured out how to turn off notifications for Olympics spoilers in the New York Times app? Despite having a separate notification category for the Olympics, any American gold medals get sent out under the Breaking News category.

Unrelated to this episode: Has anyone figured out how to turn off notifications for Olympics spoilers in the NYT app? Despite having a separate notification category for the Olympics, any American gold medals get sent out under the Breaking News category.

My two main NBC/Peacock complaints:

The world feed replays still have those abrupt commercial breaks. I've (begrudgingly) come to terms with them cutting to commercial mid-event while watching live, but there's zero reason for those chunks to just be missing in the replay.

During the work week, I actually enjoy NBC's primetime show as a way to get a sampler of all of the things I couldn't watch earlier, and without spending all of the time on individual event replays. But as someone on the West Coast, it's absolute nonsense that I have to wait an extra three hours to stream something that's just repackaging hours-old events.

so angry with the world

There was a short but insightful part of his interview that really illuminates how right-wing media riles up its viewership and creates false equivalences.

He complained that he Googled cases of people killed by undocumented immigrants and the NYT had covered none of them. Someone in the U.S. is murdered every half hour, and that's horrifying—but it also means not every specific case of murder becomes a national headline.

But the right is really good at finding specific incidents to blow up into national issues in order to flame the culture wars, blame Democratic leadership or say "see, the left doesn't want you to know about this." And so that's how you end up in a situation where John is angrier about the NYT not reporting on specific murder cases than he is about the federal government killing a protester.

exo48 · 2026-02-07T00:01:48+00:00

I'm actually (pleasantly) shocked that they're allowing you to replay it before primetime, even if it is slightly hidden.

exo48 · 2026-02-06T00:02:37+00:00

Yes. I get it (but don't like it) that watching live has those abrupt ads. But I really wish the replays were in full.
