A new repeat keys feature has been added in Android 16 DP1. I first spotted evidence for this feature in Android 15 QPR2 Beta 1, but it wasn't live in that build.
When disabled, holding down a key will no longer repeat its character. This is useful for accessibility reasons.

Android's privacy dashboard now lets you see the past 7 days worth of permissions access data, as opposed to the current default 24 hours.
Fun fact: this was originally supposed to land in Android 13. Google even announced this at I/O 2022 but they never rolled it out.

I got the Linux Terminal app working on my Pixel phone!
I regret to inform you that, unfortunately, there's no GUI, so I couldn't run Doom 😭
Any Linux gurus have suggestions on things I should try installing/running?
