Winix air quality sensors (at least the ones I have) measure volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which is a little ironic since HEPA purifiers do little to remove VOCs from the air. Some other air purifiers like Coways measure particle pollu

I wonder if Waymo is allowed to charge different prices, or advertise their own direct services, in these partnerships. "Use the Waymo app instead, save 10%, and get a guaranteed Waymo!"

The phones and the policies haven't been out long enough to see if Google actually releases updates at five years. The Pixel 6 will drop out of support in a year, so we'll see!
