This is what drives me crazy about tech journalism right now. These companies demand we all have goldfish memories, so mediocre improvements can be reported on like they're impressive new features.
Case in point, all the articles talking about the "At a Glance" widget on the pixel. It's getting an UPDATE! NOW this widget can include information like stocks! WHOA!!! That's CRAZY bro! MOAR POWERFUL WIDGET!

Except, we've already had this. Google Now, back in the Android 6 days. And that assistant could also do other practical things like monitor traffic for you and tell you when you needed to leave for work.

Android 6 was ten years ago.

I'm just so tired of all the HYPE cycles on tech right now. We're really going backwards, but folks have to pretend it's SO COOL when we get a feature like this back!
