It's not that hard. See the lights on behind you, pull over and lock your phone.

You need a tripod or something to rest the phone against. The prompt to take an astrophotography photo doesn't come up until the phone had been held VERY still for 5-10 sec.

Biometrics are fine, just use lockdown of you get pulled over or are going throgh TSA.

You can still activate the camera/camcoder by double tapping power on a Pixel even in lockdown.

So what we knew all along... It was possible to do these not-so-processor-intensive tasks on older pixels and other devices after all.

I hate that Google artificially limits these features to new phones. The only reason I've stuck with pixel this long is their call assistant to answer then decline spam calls without having to notifying me.

Does it have any widgets lines the cure day/time/weather or 5 day outlook.

I'm one of those people that would rather have a weather widget on my home screen than opening an app every time.

So the studio behind Senua's Sacrifice made a mocap headset that is like the iPhone face ID on steroids. The character on the left is the most realistic copy of the WOMAN who voices Senua in the game.

Not open source, but I use the Google TV chromecast in "apps only" mode.

Its very minimal but you still get a single picture of whatever show is being promoted that week. No other intrusive adds have been added {yet}.

Lots of teachers are part of a union. There's no mention of it in the article that I see, but union workers tend to be a little bit more protected than at will workers.

It also breaks Google Keep & Google Drive in Firefox.

By pulling it out of his holster instead of the gun.

You sound like all the cowardly cops. If you can't handle a non lethal situation like this with your tazer: find another job.

OP has pixel and is in the +1 area code from the picture meaning they are in America. So I don't get why he/she is not using Google Call screen.

I still get spam calls, but my phone never rings or alerts me. The only way I find out is by occasionally opening call history. The assistant can recognize most spam automated messages and it automatically hangs up. For real spam callers; they mostly hang up when they realize they have to talk to a robot first.
