Kara SwisherSept. 10, 2021Credit...Arsh Raziuddin/The New York TimesA lot of important words are being written about the 20th anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks on America, marking that major and tragic turning point in history.For those of us who lived through the harrowing time in 2001, it is an event that’s indelibly seared into our memories, having taken in so many devastating images and videos — and raw feelings.“Never forget” became a rallying cry to counter the heinous terrorist attacks. And we never have. Yet, today, it’s so easy to forget what’s most important to us.Social media has a lot to do with that. As hard as it may be to imagine, social networks weren’t around in 2001. Now they seem to govern every news event we experience — from elections to troop withdrawals to how we think about that suitcase scene in “White Lotus.” News flies by on social media, we obsess over it, then we move on.Social media records, chronicles, broadcasts.

Android 12 brings a renewed focus on widgets with Google Photos and Clock — just this week — serving as key examples. YouTube Music is working on a Material You widget, and we’ve enabled a preview of it. About APK Insight: In this “APK Insight” post, we’ve decompiled the latest version of an application that Google uploaded to the Play Store. When we decompile these files (called APKs, in the case of Android apps), we’re able to see various lines of code within that hint at possible future features. Keep in mind that Google may or may not ever ship these features, and our interpretation of what they are may be imperfect. We’ll try to enable those that are closer to being finished, however, to show you how they’ll look in the case that they do ship. With that in mind, read on. Back at I/O, Google showed a Material You video reel that highlighted what redesigned apps and widgets could look like. There was clearly one for a music player that we now know is for YouTube Music. This upcoming Material You YouTube Music widget is quite large at 3×3. It can be made bigger, but not any smaller.…
