Sitting by the Window

Engadget asks whether the Google Pixel 8 remains a worthwhile purchase in 2026, more than two years after its launch. The question highlights how the phone, once Google's flagship, now sits in a market full of newer Pixel models and competing Android devices. Readers are weighing its aging hardware, software support window and lower price against newer alternatives.

Seattle radio station KEXP played Moby Grape's 1967 song 'Sitting by the Window' on its Afternoon Show, as flagged by its automated now-playing feed. The track comes from the San Francisco band's self-titled debut album, regarded as a classic of 1960s psychedelic rock. The item carries a Ukrainian flag emoji, suggesting a supportive signal in the playlist caption.
