it is mind-boggling how the default-settings for Google Phones nowadays make holding the power button trigger the Google Assistant instead of... the power menu... 🤦🏾
It can be changed through the settings... to trigger the power menu again.
But I'm just picturing some elderly person who is at the theater or cinema, trying to turn off their phone, only to have some assistant voice start talking "TRY SAYING READ MY SMS"
