Google Pixel Slate owners have been dealing with some serious problems with these Chrome OS-powered tablets. A handful of users have reported seeing their file systems switch to read-only mode, which they hypothesize is a flash memory failure. If the problem is true, it's not something Google can fix with a software update, rendering the device almost useless.
According to posts on Google's support forum, it starts off with a period of small errors, including icons fading to grey or apps crashing. It will then turn into a serious issue where any action that writes to disk will fail, so you can't even launch apps or download files. Temporary fixes include rebooting, resetting, power cycling, and factory resetting the device. It's not a good problem to have, and we hope Google somehow finds a fix.

While the battery is a significant update on the Pixel 5, it seems there's an issue on the software side. Users have been reporting that the battery indicator gets stuck at showing a certain percentage even after some time has passed. 9to5Google reports that a unit of one of their writers took over three hours to go from 100% to 99%.
Google acknowledges that this is a known bug and it promises to roll out an update to fix this problem. One temporary remedy is to restart the phone and plug it into a charger to correct the percentage it shows.

The new Nest thermostat isn't the only model that can alert you if something is amiss with your HVAC system. All Nest thermostats are now capable of identifying if something is wrong with your HVAC system. Google rolled out an update in the US and in some parts of Canada that allows the device to monitor your system.
It started as a side project for Nest software engineers two years ago, and the company started testing it out earlier this year. The team was able to develop the feature because of cloud computing advancements in recent years. During the test, it sent users who sign up for Nest Home Report alerts if the Nest thermostat finds some errors with their heating, ventilation, or AC.
