Is there a way to run Live Caption on a command line?

Live Captioning is on device though - works even in airplane mode.

#62As a recent iOS user coming from Android, this almost makes me want to go back. I really do miss the Smart Reply and native Google Assistant features. But alas, iMessage pressure is real in my friend's group.

One of us will note they aren't getting a random message, or someone will send a video and the quality will be crap, and the iPhone users will all mention how if we all had iPhones, this wouldn't be a problem.

No iOS user thinks its "Android's" problem, but they do know that being on Android is the problem.
iOS = 1 ecosystem.
Android = infinite ecosystems with no cohesion.
One has native capability and consistent user experience which is now better for social interaction. The other has people rationalizing how a non-native app can be used which also wouldn't solve the aforementioned problem of receiving a random type of message, because nobody wants that experience, they want the rich experience that is native to iOS.
The android native experiences described even in OP's blog post won't be available for AGES on most people's devices, and even in that age they won't be reliable features because of custom OS' and devices won't be allowed to support it, based on the preference of those distributors.
iOS users aren't confused about that shitshow, iOS users know that it doesn't matter why, there is simply no consensus to fixing it on android, no path to consensus on fixing on android, and a group of hopeful technology enthusiasts that missed the memo on how android cohesion will never get better.

#64The way they show and demonstrate gestures, along with the UI at the bottom, strongly suggests that they intend to eliminate the semi-"hard" buttons in favor of gestures. That would save space, give people a bit more control over fullscreen apps, and provide a less "modal" UI where the same gestures always work even if the buttons aren't available (such as when playing fullscreen video).
Also, "Get security updates faster." is huge; this is effectively saying "no matter who makes your phone, you still get updates".
Deprecating "Device admin for enterprise" makes it much safer to access work resources from an otherwise personal Android device, without giving your IT department the ability to remote-wipe your entire device.

iPhones start at $450.

If moisture or debris is detected in your USB port, a notification will be sent to you and accessories will not function."

#67It's always nice to see how each Android release compares to iOS. Usually about 10% of the features while releasing to about .05% of the active phones. The vast majority of people won't see these features for another 3 years.

#68> Android’s new Dark theme uses true black to keep your battery alive longer. None of the screenshots around the caption seem to use "true black", though!
Note that "true black" saves almost no additional power on an OLED vs a dark grey.
Indeed. But it does look nicer/work better for what black themes are actually good at: Using at night.
So while the additional battery savings between "true black" and grey are within the margin of error, the battery benefits remain for both and the non-battery benefits remain for our eyes.

#69Wow, the bar at the bottom is a rip-off of iOS
iOS and Android ripping each others' good ideas off is good for us. =)
Re: Android 10
#70I wonder how many of the features advertised here will make it onto the Android 10 release of other OEMs. In Android 9 for example, the ability to select text via OCR in the recent apps screen was limited to only the Pixel devices for some strange reason even though all Android devices had access to that feature prior to the release of Google Assistant via the Google app. In a similar vein, Digital Wellbeing was offi…
Another one: Motorola removed Android's native SIP support for VOIP from the Moto Gs user interface.
I recently found out that Samsung did the same.
