"Play News" in Geminin Fix

Create a routine! ( More specifically for idiots like me...)
1 - search routines in settings
2 - follow steps ( new, personals, add starter ' ("Play News") + add action)
3 - In action labeled 'try adding your own' write "play news" and Save

Context 4twdk (4 those who dont know) - Assistant used to play a short recap/highlight podcast of the news from various news sources according to your preferences - BBC SKY, CNBC Business etc when you asked it to "play the news" when switching to Gemini this got replaced with a very poor version by google itself.

Google discriminates on premise of race in interviews

Here’s the blind thread https://www.teamblind.com/us/s/OG4v3Cer.

If you’ve applied to Google, been rejected and are of Indian or Chinese Descent, I encourage you to reach out to the EEOC and submit this as evidence along with when you applied. I hope there’s a good settlement in it for you.

If you translate "moi non plus" from french to english, the result is Me niether instead of me neither. I have no idea why this happens, as it shouldn't misspell words.

Google Calendar - Day Before Every Third Tuesday

Hello. I apologize if this is a stupid question, but I can't figure out if this is possible to do.

At work we have a meeting on every third Tuesday of the month. I need to order stuff for this meeting the day before on Monday. I obviously can't rely on "every third Monday" because it can often be a totally different week.

Is there a way to set a repeating reminder for the day before a specific repeating day?

Thank you!

Edit: Did I do something wrong in asking this?

Google Group E-Mail Not Working

I setup a Group in Google Workspace with an e-mail address. Let's say info @ tightwad.com.

When I try to send an e-mail from an outside account. I get a message that I need permission to post messages to this group. I'm trying to figure out how to open this up.

As my website is setup. So that the info @ tightwad.com is our contact us address and the address used for the website's form fill.

Is there a better way to setup a catch all? I know I can create another user with that address. Then have it forward to everyone. But I'd rather not have to pay for a user which doesn't exist. I just want the inquiries to go to the users who deal with them.

Google is being really dumb. It sucks.

So... let me tell my little story!

Allright, so i got myself a google play developer account, and i was happy since i could finally have my games on the google play store and stuff like that, but... out of the sudden i got a message from google that my account will be removed if i dont verify my phone number. So i was like sure why not lemme verify!

Guess what? When i enter my phone number and click verify, it says "we cant verify your phone number right now, if this error persist, verify by call" so i change the option to call. Guess what? It gives the same damn error again. So, i was like why not contacting google? Well good luck! Its as if google is hiding all their contact information from you, but when i eventually found one, no reply. No reply at all!

Ended up with my account being disabled and my games being removed from my account. Nice job google!

Google isnt only bringing youtube to its doom with ads, now its also refusing people to make apps for the app store! Screw you google!

Can Google form indicate that the question has been previously answered?

For context, If they have answered the form and I decided to edit and resend it with additional questions, will there be an indication that they have previously answered it? I hope I make sense here

I use the google docs app on iPad 10th gen.

I’m part of an online community that shares study materials and have opened documents shared with me but I don’t want them anymore. They are in the word docx form and when I try to delete them from the area that has all my documents, I can’t. I mean it lets me click the button but nothing happens. When I look on the web, it’s deleted. I have refresh and reopened, and this is driving my ocd CRAZY.
