Pixel's January 2026 Update

The joys of owning a Pixel device is that knowledge you get an update every month.  Latest security patches, bug fixes, and maybe even a new feature or 2.

The curse of owning a Pixel device is knowing that you get an update every month and then religiously check for the update every day at the start of a new month.

It only took 12 days this month, and it's still rolling out -- I'm waiting on mine.

Doesn't seem to be a whole lot, but it does mention fixing some battery drain!
