Google’s themed timers on the Nest Hub are breaking

Sometimes, just setting a plain-old timer isn’t enough. In the heart of the pandemic, Google aimed to make cooking a little more festive and enjoyable by introducing themed timers on Nest Hub smart displays that could pair the countdown with an illustration of the food you’re preparing. For the past few weeks, though, a number of users have been reporting that their smart displays no longer show these cute, custom timers.
