I wasn't aware that the maintainer of Git works at Google, so I was a bit surprised by the announcement too. But it wasn't because of any drama like Google eroding my trust or whatnot, just that my information was incomplete so my

Isn't that why Alphabet adopted "do the right thing" instead? Though that simply led to a lot of headlines about Google dropping "don't be evil" (with articles explaining that they actually didn't, if you

To be precise, not all AMD Ryzen stock coolers have LEDs. The Wraith Max, Wraith Prism (successor to the Max), and some Wraith Spire coolers have LEDs. For first-generation Ryzen, the -X models were often sold without a bundled stock cool

Yeah, even the original scientific article didn't show the plastic bag itself. Had to go digging in the linked scientific database. Here's the entry for the plastic bag in the Mariana Trench, discovered in 1998 at 10,898 m (archiv

Parents can block channels in YouTube Kids, but I don't know of a way to block channels in normal YouTube. The closest I've seen is telling YouTube you're not interested in recommendations for a certain channel, but I assume

As a website YouTube probably doesn't have much interest in working on client-based tools, especially not for a niche audience. Though I do wish they would at least give even logged-in users a way to block channels. There are browser a

The Samsung Chromebook Plus/Pro also have 3:2 screens, same size and resolution as the Google Pixelbook (probably the same display panel). Though those are also Chrome OS devices, of course.

Recently my Google keyboard's auto-correct has developed an annoying tendency to insert apostrophes when they're not needed (e.g. "its" -> "it's", "were" -> "we're"). Even ma

I was more surprised and impressed by this than by any of the announcements at Google IO so far. Granted that's mostly because I already knew what to expect going into Google IO.

It's well known that that's simply because Safari is the only default browser option on iOS, so apps have to use workarounds if they want to let users open links in a different browser. Though even then all iOS browsers must use A
