The Windows is not free. The OEMs pay a license fee and that cost is passed on to people buying those computers.

Pixel Pass

Killed 8 months ago, Pixel Pass was a program that allowed users to pay a monthly charge for their Pixel phone and upgrade immediately after two years. It was almost 2 years old.

Well, that seems particularly scummy.

What are you doing that having a pen and paper is normal but your phone or laptop isn’t?

No. Google will not deliver at all a lot of email. It doesn’t even make it to your spam folder.

No. I definitely prefer email with good spam blocking. I’m not criticizing Google for blocking mail how they do. It’s pretty necessary. Which is also something you learn fairly quickly if you try to self host.

Some of the time it is though. Like Gmail has a pretty large list of IPs it won’t deliver email from. When self-hosting, it’s something you really do have to worry about.

The reason most people don’t worry about it is that most people only use a handful of free emails and organizations that provide email addresses for their users spend time worrying about it so users don’t have to.

Only if you tried searching first and didn’t find anything. If it’s on the first page of Google if you just try searching the claim, then other people shouldn’t need to link it for you.

You’re right. Notepad++ still lists macs as using CR for their EOL conversion tool, so I didn’t realize.

Windows uses CR LF (carriage return, line feed), whereas Unix just uses LF. For added fun, macs use CR.

Google now wasn’t for searching for stuff or a voice assistant. It was a lot like a calendar manager and reminder system with a bunch of relevant to you right now information on one page. Get to the airport and need your reservation code? Google now has it. Commute to work via train? Google now has the schedule for you. Have an appointment at X address? Google now has the directions. Have a package you’re waiting for? Google now has a card keeping track for you.
