Lilbits: Microsoft keeps adding AI to Notepad, a fix for broken Chromecasts, and Android 16 Beta 3

Microsoft Notepad has been around for decades, offering a simple tool for viewing and editing text-based documents on Windows computers. But last year Microsoft started to adding features like a spell checker (useful), and an AI-powered Rewrite utility that lets you lengthen, shorten, or adjust the tone of text (ugh).

Google is rolling out a fix for Chromecast 2 and Chromecast Audio devices that stopped working due to an expired certificate. It should roll out over the next few days to devices with an internet connection. If you already performed a factory reset you're out of luck for now. #Chromecast #ChromecastAudio #MediaStreamers googlenestcommunity.com/t5/Str

Google support has announced in the Google Nest forum that they're pushing out a fix for the #Chromecast #ChromecastAudio expired cert problem

And the third one is working for this purpose as well, after unplugging it and plugging it back in. (No factory reset for me!) #Chromecast #ChromecastAudio.

Lilbits: Google Pixel 10 could be a triple-camera phone

The folks at Android Headlines have published a series of articles showing the anticipated design of the upcoming Google Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro, and Pixel 10 Pro XL. For the most part the Pro phones look nearly identical to their Pixel 9 counterparts. But there’s something different about the entry-level Pixel 10: instead of two rear cameras, it appears to have three.

Interestingly two of my #Chromecast #ChromecastAudio devices are still working for local media -- I can cast to them from VLC on the iPhone, using music that's actually stored on the phone, for example. But none of them work for internet streams.

It's time for the Chromecast Audio to make a comeback 🔊

There's no cheap, simple way to add streaming capabilities to regular "dumb" speakers these days.

@Tribear oh, I know @mjlorenzi has two and loves them. Been contemplating as a #ChromecastAudio upgrade. Might try borrowing one of his first 😉

Has anyone figured out a way to get arbitrary #SomaFM/ @somafm channels to stream to a #Chromecast Audio? I'm /utterly/ failing, despite having known my way around this space a few years ago 😐
I /feel/ like I need a generic .m3u/.pls phone app, which /also/ knows about #ChromecastAudio ...
