Can I show exact time instead of relative on Pixel 9 (Android 15) notifications?
I just switched from an older Samsung phone to a Pixel 9 running Android 15. I noticed that the timestamp on each notification shows a relative time ("43m") rather than the wall-clock time ("07:22”).

Is there a setting (or 3rd party app) to change this behavior? In particular, I'd like to be able to see exact time of events more than an hour ago, which now just show up as e.g. "2h" - the loss of precision is really annoying.

Pixel 9 Pro: Any way to record video with both wide-angle and normal lens? (both back-facing)

I am OK with rooting, and developing if really needed. https://developer.android.com/reference/android/hardware/camera2/CameraManager#getConcurrentCameraIds() returns {{0, 1}} which makes me think it might be possible. --- When I split the screen and use two third-party cameras, one stops showing live preview as soon as I start the other one. Questions on this topic (1 , 2 , 3 ) conclude that it depends on the model, hence my model-specific question. Full info shown by Open Camera :
