Many Google Pixel owners globally have had issues receiving calls and texts after a March software update to the phones. Incoming calls are either directed straight to voicemail or callers receive a "not available" message. The Pixel phones show full bars, but never ring.

I just got a new Pixel 8 a couple of weeks ago, and I have already missed a handful of important calls. It's really bad that the most basic functionality for a phone has been broken for weeks.

Google has not acknowledged this anywhere.

I've been developing my own TUI Bitwarden client recently: https://github.com/luryus/wden

I need passwords outside of the browser quite frequently (when SSHing to servers and so on), and the official Electron app just feels clunky and heavy to use and keep running constantly in the background. So creating a small and lightweight client optimized for my own usage patterns has been really useful. It may be useful for others, too, while the official client is broken.

We got hit with gRPC considering the LE certs as expired: https://github.com/grpc/grpc/issues/27532

Luckily this was quick to fix by just renewing the server cert without the DST root.

Between Cloud Storage, Cloud Datastore, Cloud Firestore and now Cloud Filestore the naming of these services is frustratingly confusing. Oh and of course there are also BigQuery and BigTable, which do not really give any clearer picture of the actual service. I've used GCP extensively for more than a year now and I still get confused about the different storage services way too often.
