MacBook Air with M5 5 months ago

Agree. I use both windows and mac daily, and I don't think Mac is much better in terms of annoyances and bugs.

Failing with GCP? GCP has had accelerating growth the past few years, larger than the other two, and widening profit. I've used all three major clouds and overall I would choose GCP, particularly these days for their data/AI stack

I think a simpler explanation the some of the others is.. why care? Phones these days, even cheaper ones, have oodles of GB available. They're not losing customers from the size. And I don't think making it smaller is going to draw in new gmail/workspace customers. So why spend time on it when there are tons of new features or active bugs that could be fixed instead?

learnxinyminutes.com is a good resource that tries to cover the key syntax/paradigms for each language, I find it a helpful starting point to skim.

You would go back to an old vulnerability infested OS that nobody builds for anymore instead of dealing with a UI change every few years? I have elderly parents on windows 11 and they've been fine, as long as the browser works, outlook loads, and they can scan and print (and tbh a Chromebook may be even better for non techy folks)

Google documentation states in multiple places that passkeys are supported in chrome Linux via google password manager. I haven't tried myself, are you saying that is incorrect?

Creating new standards is not easy, largely because everyone has to agree that they will use this particular one. Plastering it with endorsements attempts to show that there is consensus and give confidence in adoption. If they didn't put them in, you'd instead say nobody is using or going to use this.
