If they put the same team on that Gemini video as they do on Pixel promos, you're better off assuming half of it is fake and the other half exaggerated. Don't buy into marketing. If it's not in your own hands to judge for you

Casetify almost definitely never looked at actual internals of actual smartphones, so there was no way for them to know the difference between faithfully replicated details and easter eggs.

You totally have the right to not watch the ads, because you're right, it is your computer and you get to decide what is done with it. But if that's the choice you prefer to make, then the objectively more ethical thing to do is t

Yes, 100% to both the REPL and image-based development! Janet's REPL has a debug mode, but I'm sadly not qualified to evaluate whether/how it measures up to CL's due to my own inexperience with either. :) As for restarts

I would bet that a significant amount of the business they "lose" on Sundays just translates into pent-up demand that equalizes during the week. But super hard to measure/prove that sort of thing.

I worked for Chick-fil-A as a teenager for three years before I went to college. In that time span, I worked at two different stores for three different owners. I had some run-of-the-mill frustrations at the time, but looking back on it I r
