Call summary is such a good feature. How many times has your wife snapped her fingers for you to jot something down when she's on the phone with the pediatrician? you go crazy looking for a pen or something

This is why I love my pixel. They build stuff that affects my life day to day. My biggest vote of confidence: since buying my wife a pixel, I've had zero tech support requests. it really just works.

Literally never? Do you live in a sitcom?

I can't record calls but Google can? Gross.

According to the keynote, it notifies the other party that you're using it, which makes sense, but also makes things awkward.

> you go crazy looking for a pen or something

When I was a kid, my mom would keep a cup of dead pens next to the phone just to annoy my father and I when we went looking for a pen :-)

Never because clear communication and good lines of understanding make a positive and stable relationship?

Snapping really? Your comment literally reads like a classic "I hate my wife" boomer meme and it comes off as kind of gross.

None of the post involved a lack of clear lines of communication. Sometimes someone on a call could use help making a note and it can be tricky to find pen and paper. Communicating better with your spouse won’t make the kids put the kitchen pen back where it goes or make it easier to both listen and hunt for things at the same time.

you are projecting something gross on a total stranger online. check yourself.

You don't snap at waiters, you don't snap at your spouse or partner. If you think that's "projecting" you have bigger issues and internal-unresolved-trauma my friend. I think you need to follow your own advice here: Check yourself immediately.

Spouses and partners treat each other with respect, and no that doesn't involve snapping.

You do when you're on the phone and need to attract attention of someone nearby. I guess waving a hand in front of their face also works...

Seems like a pretty common gesture when you are on the phone, someone is talking to you on the other end, and you want to get another person's attention in the room who is not looking at you. You are reading way too much into it.
