Google releases ChromeOS 137 to Chromebook users

Google had quite the week with updates the last few days. Along with Android 16 being released to stable, Google also released an update to Chromebook devices with ChromeOS 137. Like recent updates there does not seem to be anything particularly exciting in this update. I don't foresee this changing in the near future due to continued work being done on the transition to the Android kernel. Check out what's new in this update and let me know how it is treating your device.

FaceGazeEnabled Policy: A new policy, FaceGazeEnabled, gives administrators more control over access to the Face Control feature (which allows users to control their Chromebook with facial gestures and head movements) at an organizational level.
Crosstalk Cancellation: This feature enhances the internal speaker audio experience by making it sound as if audio is surrounding the user's head, rather than coming directly from the speaker. It aims to provide an immersive, headset-like spatial audio experience for all playable content, particularly games and videos.
ChromeVox Braille Captions: ChromeVox now includes a new keyboard shortcut (Search + O + C or space + dots 1-4-7 on a braille display) that displays spoken text as braille captions on connected braille devices.
Event-based Log Collection: When specific events like OS crashes or update failures occur, users will receive a notification on the device details page. This page also provides detailed information about these events, and Google automatically uploads relevant logs to streamline troubleshooting.

I attended a Pixel Superfans event at the new Google Store in Santa Monica, CA

Last Friday, I had the opportunity to attend a Pixel Superfans event at the new Google Store in Santa Monica. It was a soft launch of the store and a good way to meet like minded people. The staff were very nice and helpful. While I was at the store I was able to finally check out the Pixel 9 Pro Fold and wow that device is extremely impressive. Outside of that, I was able to look around the store and check out other Google products which there are quite a bit to see. I'm looking forward to my next visit to the new Google Store. Take a look at the pictures below including one of some swag I got from Google at the event.

Reviewing the Pixelbook Go after 5 yrs | Software that is outpacing the hardware

No doubt, the Pixelbook Go has served me well in my 5 yrs with the laptop. This is not necessarily a review of the features on the laptop but a review of the PBG hardware and its usability in 2025. I acknowledge that I am a part of a very small club of users that still have and use this device but I must say that I still enjoy using the PBG every single day. Now, to the review. Hardware Right off the bat. The hardware is probably the least compelling aspect of the PBG. When the laptop was first released in 2019 it was already a year or two behind the competition with the onboard soc. Surprisingly, this has not negatively impacted using the laptop with most tasks. Web surfing is a breeze and most Android apps run pretty effortlessly. The 8th Gen i5 Intel soc paired with 8GB of RAM is well optimized and I feel that Google is getting as much as it can out of the chip. Where the PBG falls short is with video editing apps. I've tried several Android apps and a couple of Linux ap...

Are we set to see new entry level Pixel Buds at Google I/O?

I'm not one to start a Google rumor but I have to do it this time. Looking at the Google Store website this evening I noticed that the Pixel Buds A series are all but out of stock except for the Sea color way. This lines up perfectly with Google I/O being just around the corner. The Pixel Buds A are coming up on their four year anniversary in June so a refresh is definitely needed. I'm actually hoping Google gets rid of the A series line and make a slightly more premium version with features similar to the Pixel Buds Pro 2s. Of course Google will save some features just for the pros, however, they can add multi point and better battery life just to name a couple of much needed upgrades. I guess we will have to wait and see what Google's plans really are.
