If you’ve spent any time speaking to Black coaches or front-office personnel in the NFL, if you’ve spent any time paying attention to the league around hiring season, Brian Flores’ racial discrimination lawsuit isn’t a surprise.

You might think a Google phone would be the best choice to control your Google-branded speakers, but that’s not necessarily true: Google’s actions have potentially opened the door for other manufacturers to do what the Pixel legally cannot, writes Android sleuth Mishaal Rahman at Esper. Last week, we wrote how “Your Google home speakers are about to get slightly worse because Sonos sued and won.” If you’re using a Google Pixel, that’s true — among other things, you won’t… Source link
