This is my current use case. My reading of what Google are saying is that yes, that feature is going away.

Gah! But one of the key benefits of this is obscuring what my actual Gmail address is! I don’t want to use my Gmail address as my main email address. Even if it’s just for personal…

Wow, that National Museum of American History website is time capsule! Preserved in pristine condition since the year 2000!

Rember when Adobe tried to stop people saying images had been “Photoshopped”? Well, be careful what you wish for Adobe! Now everyone just says an image is AI, and something being P…

On a similar note, I still do not understand why I have to plug a USB Flash Drive into my Mac twice for it to mount. I take modern USB-C Flash Drive, plug it into my Mac. Nothing. …
