Google Messages kept interrupting my music in Android Auto, and this is the only fix that actually worked (opens the original)
Read excerpt
My routine is pretty simple once I get in the car. I connect to Android Auto, hit play, and I get on with my drive. It’s one of those little things I’ve gotten used to—until Google Messages started messing with it. Every time someone messaged me, my music would dip or get interrupted. At first, I ignored it. Then it started happening often enough that I got genuinely annoyed every time I heard that notification. I wasn’t trying to have a conversation while driving; I just wanted to listen to my
4 Gemini tips and tricks I use in Android Auto (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Android Auto is a bit of a double-edged sword. It makes driving easier in plenty of ways, but throw Gemini into the mix, and suddenly there’s a lot more you can ask your car screen to do. It’s not just “play this” or “text that” anymore. Gemini can actually have a conversation with you. A little experimenting showed me there’s more to it. From checking my schedule to finding something buried in Gmail, there are a few tricks that can make Gemini much more useful on the road. And yes, one of them
I discovered these hidden Google Maps features while waiting for my kids after school (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I love to drive. Driving is my safe place when I want to disconnect from the world for a while. No one asking me where something is, no one asking what’s for dinner, just me, my car, and whatever playlist I’ve decided to play for the hundredth time. So, of course, I use Google Maps more than I’d like to admit. I thought I knew the app pretty well. Turns out, I was confidently using about 10% of it. I stumbled across some of these features while sitting in my car waiting to pick up my kid after s

Read excerpt
I didn’t expect to get this attached to Android Auto, but here we are. I originally treated Android Auto as a convenient way to get directions and play music. Now, I have a small list of features that have become my favorites. I use them on quick school runs, grocery trips, and longer drives when I have more time to kill. I know which ones I reach for without thinking, and I’ve definitely had those moments where I wonder how I managed without them before. Basically, I forget about my phone while
I’ve used OneNote for years. How did I miss these 4 settings? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I’ve used OneNote for years, which apparently gave me just enough confidence to assume I knew what I was doing. I have notebooks for work, random ideas, recipes, travel plans, and all the little things I swear I’ll come back to later. Then I started poking around OneNote on a random Monday morning. I found features I had somehow missed all these years, despite using OneNote regularly. They weren’t buried in some secret Microsoft vault either. Some were sitting on menus I’d apparently never bothe
