Google Pixel Buds

- Bluetooth Battery Meter GNOME Extension (disable the Google Pixel Buds feature in the extension preferences)
- Displays a circular battery widget, supporting either a single battery (headset) or three separate levels for Left, Right, and Case.
- The case battery is shown only when the Google Pixel Buds report it, usually when the case is charging or when at least one Google Pixel Buds is inside.
- Only certain Google Pixel Buds models support ANC mode.
- Some models also support Conversation Mode.
