I want my surveillance capitalism

Did they also shorten how long it plays? I think it sounds slightly better tho

It's a beta ..

The new sound is a lot better imo; sounds more like pink noise than white noise, which is more relaxing and better for sleep. Though I suppose that's not what everyone uses it for.

I'm not happy Google hasn't given the option to pair 2 Nest Audio's with a Chromecast Google TV for TV stereo send like they promised would happen last year

I love it! Welcome change.
