Bingo. I, for one, am loving this phase of enjoying the LLMs at the expense of VC money. Just like how I enjoyed cheap rides and deliveries on Uber. And with the fragmentation in the field, I don't see a monopoly coming up.

Amazing piece of software.

Inb4 google somehow blocks it, because of "security" or some other bullshit.

Also, the "open your app store to competitors" was just bullshit, eyewash, cop out. The apps on these "alternative app stores" still need to jump through all the hoops, pay apple development fees, get approved etc.

Can I install any app on it, or do I need Google's permission as to which apps they would allow me to install?

A lot of these projects work on a business model where they open-source their core product, and provide advanced services, installation, maintenance or fully-managed services around their product. AWS was bypassing them by providing fully-managed services. On this, I am on the side of the people behind the projects. Basically AWS was eating their lunch. They had no choice but to change the licenses.

Slightly off-topic, but the first time I saw a (real) 2-dollar bill, I almost called the Secret Service on a customer. Was then educated about the legality of 2-dollar bills.

Do other airports have? The only ones that I have been to (that have separate Customs and Security lines for Business Class travelers) are in India and Middle East. I have never seen a separate line anywhere in Canada or US.
