It is unbelievably manipulative that they tied this organizational feature with this new LLM-training scam they have running now. Learning to not rely on inbox categories does make it easier for me to finally leave Gmail for a real email pr

Wonderful! Want to buy a package of razorblades? It's time to get your retinas scanned. Absolutely revolting that any retailer would even consider doing something like this.

I'm thrilled that they've rolled back some of the worst post-2015 MBP changes. I'm a vim user, so I was never going to switch to something without a physical escape key. The key travel on the new machines were terrible; it&#x
