Five times wanted to set off an emergency service call and sound the alarm 🚨 YMMV (Pixel 7)

Additionally, with the Pixel 9 holding down the power button no longer turns it off, you have to press power and volume up at the same time to get to the power menu.

That can be changed in the settings

I had no idea... thank you! It's always a crapshoot if I take a screenshot or get into the power settings. So bizarre.

There's usually a hardware level power off function for when the device freezes and stuff. Can usually hold the power button for ~10 seconds will power off the device without needing to look at the screen

Holding the power button for 1 second also opens the menu.
