I was doing some google searches; when my the phone went to screen saver mode... I push the side button to wake it up. But it stay black and never turn back on. So I try to do a manual restart with the power button for 30 secs and nothing happen. Right now I charging it and not see any charging light.
I know there is some power; as touching the power button or finger sensor it will vibration short.
Could it be a battery issue or software glitch? Anyone else has any other tips? Before I contact Google Fi Support.

Nutrition Advocacy in Public Interest is “A national think tank on nutrition” in India, “consisting of independent experts in epidemiology, human nutrition, community nutrition and paediatrics, medical education, administration, social work and management.” This group is calling for regulation of unhealthy ultra-processed foods.
This new report gives examples of food product ads, (50 of them) by method of appeal along with what information is concealed. One example:
Take a look. These are fun. It’s terrific to see this kind of analysis coming from India.

If you’re one of the millions of Americans who live with ADHD, like I do, the ongoing national stimulant shortage may well have left you reeling.
For me, every month feels like a mind-numbing riddle as I’m forced to project-manage between the doctor’s office and the various pharmacies that may or may not have enough stock of the medication I rely on to help with my executive function disorder—the same condition that makes it so difficult to go through this rigmarole in the first place.
Then I heard about EndeavorOTC, a new, FDA-cleared video game designed to help treat ADHD symptoms.
I was skeptical at first, but I gave it a shot. It certainly wasn’t a substitute for the medicine I’m used to, but I did find it helpful as a supplemental treatment—for a while, anyway.

This is a new service that we're experimenting with that uses PGLite[0], a WASM build of Postgres that runs in the browser. You might remember an earlier WASM build[1] that was around ~30MB. The Electric team [2] have gone one step further and created a complete build of Postgres that’s under 3MB.
Their implementation is technically interesting. Postgres is normally multi-process - each client connection is handed to a child process by the postmaster process. In WASM there’s limited/no support for process forking and threads. Fortunately, Postgres has a relatively unknown built-in “single user mode” [3] primarily designed for bootstrapping a new database and disaster recovery. Single-user mode only supports a minimal cancel REPL, so PGlite adds wire-protocol support which enables parametrised queries etc.
We have created https://postgres.new as an experiment. You can think of it like a love-child between Postgres and ChatGPT: in-browser Postgres sandbox with AI assistance. You can spin up as many new Postgres databases as you want because they all live inside your browser. We pair PGlite with an LLM (currently GPT-4o) and give it full reign over the database with unrestricted permissions. This is an important detail - giving an LLM full autonomy means that it can run multiple operations back-to-back: any SQL errors from Postgres are fed back to the language model so that it can have a few more attempts to solve the problem. Since it’s in-browser it’s low risk.
Some other features include:
- CSV upload: you can upload a CSV and it will automatically create a Postgres table which you can query with natural language.
- Charts: you can ask the LLM to create a chart with the data and change the colors of the charts.
- RAG / pgvector: PGLite supports pgvector, so you can ask the LLM to create embeddings for RAG. The site uses transformers.js [4] to create embeddings inside the browser.
We’re working on an update to deploy your databases and serve them from S3 using pg-gateway [5]. We expect to have a read-only deployments ready by the end of the week. You can access them using any postgres-compatible tool (eg: psql).Everything is open source. A huge shout-out to the Electric team who have been a pleasure to build with.
