This morning Google asked me at what time to install the latest _systemupdate_. It seems that one should check the changelog, even if it's from a "big serious company", because this one comes with some kind of "advertising" now: >> Instantly customize your Pixel with Harry Potter Audiobook Packs to celebrate the release of Harry Potter: The Full-Cast Audio Editions on Audible. One tap changes your wallpaper, icons, and sounds with elements from the audiobooks - no wand required. To begin your journey to Hogwarts, all eligible Pixel users will receive a two-month Audible free trial.(2) << https://support.google.com/pixelphone/thread/466181739/september-2026-pixel-drop?hl=en Should I have done that earlier?
