You guys are awesome. Both Web LLM and Web Stable Diffusion demos work on my Intel i3-1115G4 laptop with only 5.9GB of shared GPU memory.

// Zeiss could’ve saved themselves by reissuing their older lenses that have nice character. But instead, they’ve more or less exited the photo industry.

Funny that I just read an article on Zeiss, ASML and EUV Lithography. My next smartphone with 5nm SoC inside actually depends on Zeiss's pursuit of clean lens.

Both iCloud and Zoho free tier were good options to park one's custom domain for email. Both services support security features like SPF and DKIM, without which you may experience bounced email due to the spam filter on receiving sides. Eventually I picked Zoho because it supported catch-all email account, and its instruction to set up DNS records were easy to follow too.

I used Namecheap for domain transfer, and found its support responsive. For example, I found that I could immediately resubmit transfer request with its refund, after I failed the first transfer attempt due to GoDaddy's "protection" measures.

For old emails, Google Takeout let you download a mbox file that you can easily open on Mozilla Thunderbird. Takeout also downloaded all your content in Photos and Drive etc that you can keep offline.

Now that I don't have a custom domain associated with my G Suite account, I can sit back and let Google do its things. Overall, on positive note, this was a good excuse to learn about / brush up one's knowledge on domain transfer, DNS records (MX/TXT/CNAME), SPF/DKIM email security, mbox import.

Was the author employed by a traditional publisher to discredit the Kindle business model?

No government regulation requires unlocked phones. It's purely due to competition. There are 5 mobile operators for a population of only 7 million people. A mobile operator that offers only locked phone will lose its customers to competitors.
