They're closer to impingement ovens than convection ovens.
Convection ovens (or "fan forced ovens" in some countries) use a fan to gently and evenly circulate the hot air, whereas impingement ovens and air fryers use higher velocity fans to blow the heat directly onto the food.
It heavily depends on proprietary Google and carrier infrastructure in practice.
This is the same as practically every carrier feature though. Carriers are a pain to deal with and all their infra is proprietary, so usually only the big companies like Google and Apple have the motivation to integrate with them and build out new services.
I'm surprised it took this long, given how insecure SMS and MMS are.
On the other hand, I don't think I know anyone that uses SMS regularly, so maybe it just wasn't a priority? Pretty much the only SMS messages I get are automated. It's more common to see people using either Messenger, WhatsApp, Signal, or Telegram (or iMessage in the USA but that's mostly an outlier compared to the rest of the world).
You can also get to this through the Google search UI, too. It's the "Web" tab.
Nah it's a screenshot that's at least ten years old. That's a very old Netflix UI.
AFAIK all the info is from leaks, and there's no guarantee that leaked stuff ends up being actually launched.
I don't think this is even legal in some jurisdictions. Many places have regulations that restrict/prohibit drip pricing, and I'd argue that automatically preselecting options that cost more is a dark pattern that's adjacent to drip pricing.
Interesting. I'll take a closer look and read the article you linked to. I haven't used Kagi much, but I did try the trial and their search results are definitely better than Google.
That's a good point. I didn't experience anything like that while growing up - my dad had a car but we never went on road trips, and my mum never learnt to drive. We lived in the inner suburbs in Melbourne so I didn't really have a reason to drive anywhere in day-to-day life when I could just take a train, tram, or bus. I didn't even learn to drive until I was 26, after moving to the USA.
Their mission has always been about making the web better for humans, though. Their AI stuff is all opt-in and they have a decent philosophy about it: https://help.kagi.com/kagi/why-kagi/ai-philosophy.html
Kagi are trying to do something similar with their smallweb project, where they're building a list of personal sites/blogs. These types of sites usually don't rank highly in search engines, but Kagi does rank them above other results since they're almost always better than the SEO slop that ranks highly in other search engines.
They have a site to randomly browse them too, kinda like StumbleUpon if you ever used that. https://kagi.com/smallweb/
The list is in this repo: https://github.com/kagisearch/smallweb
Just power it using solar panels?
