No social media account, sorry. The real world is too interesting to waste time in a hyper-optimized version of Q-Link.

what a strange attitude to have on a tech forum.
How so? Do tech people never get hurt? They never slip on ice? Blow out a knee playing a sport? Trip over a power cable?
What a strange attitude to think that everyone on a tech forum is identical, and also in identically healthy shape.
"Game of bowling?" Are you a bot, or something?

He specified "developed."
Google didn't create Android or Maps. Android was made in 2003 by other people. Maps was Keyhole and something made in Australia.
I don't know enough about Chrome to say.

if they were gone, the worst is you're putting pants on and getting your own products
Says someone with no problems putting on his pants and making a grocery run.
Just try to remember your own words when you get older. You'll get your turn. Everyone does.

I've heard it called Michael Jackson Syndrome.

Their product is as obsolete as horse-drawn carriages.
The product isn't obsolete. It's just been re-packaged by AI companies in a far more useful form.

We'll also need to coin some names for the symbiotes to call the resistors. Neoamish? Analogues?
How about "human beings?"

This was part of a dystopian National Lampoon recording 50 years ago. It ended on a note about how even when the person closed his eyes, it didn't end.
It went something like "…there's a red light blinking in the darkness. You have a message."

I would be different is this was yet another free, race-to-the-bottom, corner-cutting web site.
But this is New York Times Cooking. It's a subscription product that people pay hundreds of dollars for.
If they want yet-another-AI-cooking web site, there are thousands launching each day. They pay the Times because they want something better.
It's like finding out that the high-end meal you paid for at a sit-down restaurant was just DoorDashed in from a ghost kitchen down the block.

Last I read you don’t even get an App Store (!) to install third-party apps on the device, so I’m not sure if that’s possible.
It doesn't have its own app store. It runs the apps on your phone, so feel free to add any of the 2,000,000+ apps on the iPhone App Store to it.

Is there an article every time a Mack Truck catches on fire?
Yes, if you watch the local traffic reports. Absolutely. Why do you ask? Are you trying to imply something?

You know a Tesla was involved in an accident because they always make it part of the headline.
Because it's novel. Once Tesla trucks are commonplace, it will no longer be noted.
No conspiracy to be had. It's just like the news covers train crashes, and not train arrivals. Because they're unusual.

I have no idea how they have got this far without a method to add small patches outside monolithic OS updates.
You're either not an Apple user, or never noticed Settings → General → Software Update → Automatic Updates
