Google recently released Android 12. They didn't name it after a sweet food this time. The menus have a slight smooth animation and inherit the theme of the system; Android is more like Apple iPhone. I also think you have more control of the hardware on the phone. I think most of the improvements are invisible. The system uses the phones memory and micro processor more efficiently. I think it also runs apps better. Unfortunately I can't get android 12 with my current phone; it doesn't have enough storage memory.
I am at a stage where I talk to machines every day. I talk to a smart speaker, I ask it to tell me the news and things like that or to turn things on.
I think Omicron strain of Covid19 is mild compared to the other variants, it spreads more quickly but causes less harm. I thought to myself that it may act like a natural vaccine, like when people didn't get sick with small pox if they already caught cow pox. Who knows? It is our first winter with the Delta and Omicron strains. They both spread very quickly. Even flu does a lot of damage in winter.
I keep my chin up for this Christmas. Last Christmas we were in lockdown and the previous Christmas we were caught up in a snap election with endless rain. I called the 2019 Christmas the damp political Christmas and Christmas 2020, the lockdown Christmas. Every Christmas I have my Christmas drink and forget about the long dark nights.
