• A new promo video of the Pixel 8 series surfaces online.
• The video highlights all the camera capabilities of the Pixel 8 Pro.
• They include AI-powered editing alongside Real Tone, Night Sight for video, and more.

The U.S. Department of Justice's 10-week antitrust trial against Google is underway, and it has the potential to spell big trouble for the Mountain View tech giant. The Justice Department, along with several individual states, claim that Google was able to reach its status as the dominant company in search through anti-competitive means. Now, the company has reached monopoly status and everything needs to be investigated.

Google's upcoming Made by Google event on October 4th will unveil the Pixel 8 and Pixel Watch 2, as showcased in a new teaser.

• Clubhouse, the once-popular live audio app, is relaunching with a new focus on voice messaging and group chats.
• The revamped Clubhouse emphasizes the speed and intimacy of voice communication, highlighting the benefits of tone and connection.
• The late revamp may struggle to compete in the crowded social app market.

• Gboard's Proofread feature is an innovative AI tool that detects spelling and grammar errors, proposing corrections and implementing them seamlessly.
• The feature is present for some users on Gboard v13.4, the latest beta version going live on the Play Store now.
• The proofreading process currently happens server-side, which may be a privacy concern for some.

However, a point of contention arises when one learns that the proofreading happens server-side. For the feature to operate, the typed text is sent to Google for processing. It would indeed be revolutionary if, in future updates, Google manages to bring this processing onboard without the need to offload it to its servers.

The Proofread feature isn't the only novelty Gboard has been experimenting with. There are rumblings about a feature that crafts stickers using AI. Additionally, another anticipated feature could aid users in rephrasing their messages in varying tones, ranging from formal to informal.

• Google announced a new short-form video format for the Play Store.
• It is a new way to discover apps and games by viewing creators' opinions.
• It is dubbed "The Play Report" and is currently rolling out as a pilot program for users in the U.S.

• YouTube Music is rolling out with a new UI for the Now Playing screen.
• The UI adds a row of options to easily interact with a song, including a section for comments.
• Album art is also larger and song titles are now aligned to the left.

However, the most interesting change is that the new menu includes comments, which allow listeners to add a comment straight from YouTube Music or view other comments left from the main YouTube service.

• Google has begun sending out invites for its next Pixel launch.
• The launch event will take place in New York on October 4.
• Google is expected to announce the Pixel 8 series and the Pixel Watch 2.

I'm currently using strong, but I find it not very customizable

I've started sprinting, but strong only lets me track minutes and seconds.

Is there any app that is more customizable and would let me input the time freely?
