How to add the Pixel 11’s Rambler feature to your Android phone right now

Android Authority reports that Google has introduced a feature called Rambler in the Pixel 11 series smartphones, which uses local AI models to transcribe and format speech in real-time. This feature, integrated into Gboard, automatically removes filler words, adds correct punctuation, and fixes speech mistakes. However, the feature is currently exclusive to the latest Pixel 11 series smartphones due to its reliance on the Tensor chip for processing.

This limitation may disappoint users who wish to enjoy this AI-driven speech-to-text functionality on their older Android devices.

Best Clean Code and Refactoring Books, and the Order to Read Them

Clean Code was the first text I handed to my students. Since then I have read the six other books fighting for the "clean code" shelf, and they do not all say the same thing.

  • Start reading "The Pragmatic Programmer" for engaging stories and mental models
  • Follow with "Clean Code" by Robert C. Martin for timeless principles
  • Conclude with "Test-Driven Development: By Example" for TDD mindset

VAT Number Regex Isn't Validation: What Format Checks Miss

Originally published at vatnode.dev . The version on vatnode.dev is the canonical source — refer to it for the latest content. A regex can tell you a string looks like a VAT number.
