Chainfire has now rooted the Google Pixel

Google Pixel is one of the most exciting Android phones to hit the market in a long time, and with it comes the latest version of Android: 7.1 Nougat. With this new hardware and software, it was only a matter of time before one of the many developers in the rooting space achieved root on the phone. It seems the first root of the Pixel has been achieved thanks to Chainfire.

PSA: It’s not just you, Hangouts is having lots of service interruptions

Hangouts has been having more problems than usual the last couple days, but according to the G Suite App Status page, the service is now experiencing more interruptions. Like many others, I’ve been experiencing slow load times in the app and on the web, and message sends have been delayed or failed.

“We’re investigating reports of an issue with Google Hangouts. We will provide more information shortly,” the App Status page says as of 12:40 PM EST.

If you’re also experiencing any problems with Hangouts, you’re not alone.

Womp, womp.
