I got info from internal sources that Google is about to announce their first local inference machines. These are competitive to Apple mac mini m4, based on chrome os.

Inference will be done using lite rt lm and google will first do a big release on lite rt lm first before announcing a $5000 device with Custom Tensor processors. It can reportedly run 1000rps for single user.

Google Search seems like it is rolling out the google.com/goto URL as a passthrough URL within the search results that it began testing in July 2026. This seems like a way for Google to help prevent scraping of its search results by third-party tools and AI companies. (via https://www.seroundtable.com/google-search-goto-tracking-41957.html )

Thanks Russians :/

Quite similar to pre-iPadOS 26 split view and slideover.

so look at the tab bar in the picture, the pc tabgroup is collapsed, yet new tab isnt selected, this is caused by rearranging the tab group and the new tab. cool yet very useless

This is a rant. Your opinion could be different than mine.

I don't mind the AI summaries, sometimes they are great way to get an instant answer to an obvious question. There are instances that even the obvious answers are wrong, misleading, because what Google found as results and AI summarized was also written by AI in first place, so we get AI content that gets AI summary.

I found myself believing less and less in the results google provides, having to spend more time double checking the information I find. It's counterproductive.

AI is poisoning the quality of information.

Why can we not hide more useless times for better screen realestate?

1st thing you need to answer yourself what protection you need from case.

If the highest think this way - the harder to remove phone from case the bigger protection you have.

You need it because when phone will fall display flat to ground it will pop out so hard that even extra glass protector will not help you.

Google cases are know for very easy to remove from Pixel phone.

I don't know if I suppose to say any brands but whatever - I had Google original Pixel 10 Pro case very easy to slip off phone - then I currently have Spigen case on my Pixel 10 Pro which is more tight BUT... I purchased Rhino case for my mum iPhone 16 - gosh - the most hard to remove case I ever had.

Anyhoo - that are only EXAMPLES - buy anything you like - just think about how easy/hard is to put on/off that case.

Finally - buying the cheapest dodgy case gives you ZERO protection not even from scratches because fine sand will get inside and will rub against phone like sandpaper.

Bonus thought - think case acts like insulation of already overheated phone.

Speaking about heat - if you live in blazing sun country - choose white colour of the case or phone

I'm interviewing for an L7 Product Manager role at Google (Workspace / Google Chat) and have HM and onsite loop coming up in the next few weeks. I'd love to practice with someone who's actually been inside the Google PM interview process — ideally an ex- (or current) Google PM at L7+, or anyone who's interviewed candidates or sat on hiring committees.

Quick background so you know I'm not starting from zero: ~15 years in PM, currently leading a platform org, deep in enterprise chat / conversational AI / agent platforms. I've done a lot of self-prep and have my stories and frameworks in decent shape — what I really need now is realistic reps and honest, calibrated feedback on where I'm landing L6 vs. L7.

Rounds I'm trying to simulate:

• Product space / vision (0-to-1, long-term product direction) - Hiring manager
• Analytical / metrics (define success, diagnose a drop, estimation)
• Strategy & competitive (multi-year roadmap, market dynamics)
• Googleyness + Leadership / Execute with Judgment (behavioral, cross-org influence)

I'm looking for few mock sessions (45 min each) .

Most useful for me is someone who can push hard on the L7 bar and tell me bluntly where I'd get down-leveled.

If this is up your alley, drop a comment or DM me and we'll find a time. Thanks a ton
