Updated the
Google Pixelbook to
Chrome OS 105, and so far the
close a virtual desktop and all its apps function is not working. However, I have played with the save virtual desktop as template feature that enables one to create a named virtual desktop that has specific apps running, and then launch that desktop and apps all at once. The feature also works for specific web sites. For example, I opened Drummer and Pocket in two tabs in Chrome then saved that as a Reading and Writing virtual desktop and now I can launch it and automatically open Drummer and Pocket.
#Next month Google will have their smartphone season
event to launch the Pixel 7 and more importantly to me the
Pixel Watch. I wonder whether the
Pixel Watch will be available via stores like Best Buy or exclusively on Google's store? I really, really, do not want to buy direct from Google.
#I didn't see much of interest while watching Apple's iPhone event they held yesterday. I do realize that I am a stubborn holdout by not switching to iPhone given that I am otherwise "all-in" with the Apple ecosystem. I do think the satellite-based, "SOS" system is interesting and probably a pre-cursor to the type of services we will see come on line as
Starlink gets more satellites.
#Idea: Write a Drummer script to create a Wikipedia link for a particular search word or phrase.

Occasionally Chrome crashes when running on my LXQT desktop container. Shut off some extensions to see if that handles memory better although the
Proxmox monitor doesn't show the container using much more than 1 GB of the 4GB allocated to it.
#Trying Google's "Hold For Me" for the first time as I've been waiting on hold for at least ten minutes so far. Waiting to tell someone to come and pick up our trash because we were skipped on the regular collection day.
The company that does this must either only have one person answering calls or does a really poor job. How long should one wait on hold before giving up? I gave up after 30 minutes and sent an email.
