Google Pixel 2 spotted running on Android Q

A Geekbench listing hints at the possibility that we’re getting the Developer Preview of Android Q pretty soon. A Google Pixel 2 handset was spotted running the upcoming Android version. While it’s listed as an “unknown device,” the codename “walleye” indicates that it’s a Google Pixel 2 device. With Google I/O just around the corner (May 7^th), it makes sense that testing is well underway. Google launches the newest version of Android at the said conference. Not much is known about Android Q at the moment, except that we’re getting a system-wide dark mode soon as well as desktop mode.

Google Assistant for Android TV adds four new languages

While a bit behind what it can do on mobile, the latest update for Google Assistant for Android TV will make it a bit more useful for users that don’t speak English. That is if you speak these four languages. Assistant adds support for German, Italian, Spanish, and Portuguese (Brazilian). This adds on to the four other languages that it supported in the past (English, French, Japanese, and Korean). Unfortunately for Android TV users, you are at the mercy of your TV manufacturer to see if they’ve updated your firmware. But you could check to see if it’s made it your way.

Slack gets dark mode on mobile, too, brings it first to beta users

So, do you answer Slack messages in the dark? Here’s something to make it easier on your eyes. The workplace collaboration app just brought dark mode to its Android and iOS apps. However, it’s currently only available to beta testers. If you want in on the action, you can join Slack’s beta testing program. Just head over to the app’s settings and find the Join Beta section. You’ll be prompted there to provide your name and e-mail address. When you’re approved to join and have updated your app accordingly, a toggle will appear to let you turn the mode on or off in settings. The Android version of the app will ask you to restart Slack, while the iOS version will get the feature automatically.

Marvel’s latest offering reminds us of the legacy that Stan Lee left behind right from the get-go. Captain Marvel opens with a modified version of the Marvel Studios’ signature, which features many photos of Stan instead of the MCU heroes. The introduction was also followed by a simple text that says, “Thank you, Stan.” But that isn’t just the only appearance of the icon in the film. And it seems it won’t be the last time we see him in a Marvel Cinematic Universe movie, either. According to an interview Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige did with ET Online, we still have more Stan sightings to come. "We shot a couple of others, so we're coming up on the last of them, yes," he said. Feige also confirmed that one of said cameos is for the next MCU movie, Avengers: Endgame. When asked about Spider-Man: Far From Home, he offered, "We'll see." For now, you can catch Stan in Captain Marvel, which is already out in theatres.
