The genus is insufficient to determine if an object is equivalent to the other. Orientability distinguishes the mobius strip and the torus, a torus is orientable whereas a mobius strip is not. Therefore, topologically speaking they are not equivalent.
What is orientability? Why is the torus able but not the mobius strip?
(good images and explanation here)

Because of the handle, you mean?
Yes, a cup without a handle is just a ball
I get that this is one of their jokes, to get attention and for fun. But it would be great if Gboard itself was open source though. I could do a ton of improvements for myself at least. I love the slide / swipe typing gesture input mode in Gboard but it's needlessly closed source. There could be big privacy improvements and great features added. Maybe AnySoftKeyboard is good enough now, I'll check again.
I'm working on a keyboard. What improvements would you make?
-Programmer mode with SSH sanity
-Custom tiny local language models for better, wiser, more funny suggestions that the end user could have full control of (the sky is the limit for this)
-Maybe I want to use my task list as context for typing faster, maybe I want a synced knowledge network
-Maybe I can want to search for "man" emoji and have it really work
-Maybe I want real time translation built in, using a custom endpoint running on my GPU or latest Whisper distilled model? Maybe a new one that can do Markdown sarcasm formatting?
I could go on and on.
Text remains a very powerful input and output. They're not as smart as everybody who could be hacking on it, people love hacking on keyboards, for good reason.
Gboard has many great features, privacy could even be one of them in the future! Swiping and it's custom models, that kinda know what weird topics I've typed, but not full GPT level, are pretty neat and make it worth considering, but hey, open source will get better and better. We live in an amazing time, with antitrust break up of Google being considered, open sourcing it and continuing to work on it with open source community could be a small win that could keep giving, just saying. Typed in on Gboard!
Slightly related: Does anyone know of a simple macropad that uses 2u or larger keys? I just want 4 or so larger keys!

As a German, let me capitalize letters by pressing shift at the end of the word. Swiftkey had this feature. Afaik GBoard does not.
Do you mean capitalize the whole word you've just typed?
