So what? The answer to the question is still yes.

I assumed it was patent-encumbered that could not be reconciled by either party.

You can already do this using things like the Chrome Storage APIs (obviously chrome only, and you need to be signed in, and bundle an extension)

I don't think this is true. If you watch the videos, dosdude1 specifically says he had to order blank NANDs for this process. Then you DFU restore the system from another mac. I have no proof, but I assume part of this DFU restore process is the new NAND chips being hardware paired in some way.
Again I have no proof, but there must be reasons he claims they have to be blank NANDs

It looks really cool, but i'll make an argument to how faithful it is. I opened the page, and clicked on a square. Immediate bomb loss. This does go against the rules of Windows Minesweeper.

url length limitations may thwart that, unless it's all compressed which might defeat the purpose

Interesting, thanks for the info. I must have missed this. It doesn't seem completely unfair to not pass your main Google password, and I imagine you still might be able to use generated application passwords if you really need the functionality (maybe).

> you have to pick your approach and commit to it.
I somewhat agree with this, especially when we are talking about higher brand companies appeasing cheaper consumables.
However, the other way around, it can be done effectively. Take for IKEA instance. They made inroads into Europe and American homes, and did it by offering cheaper, well-designed and modern alternatives made of particle board. After seeing some customers wanted higher-quality products with the same design aesthetic, they introduced a sliding scale of products from cheap-and-cheerful, to better constructed, yet still flatpacked materials.
Customers could then choose the desired range and quality on a sliding scale for each product. This model seems to have worked well for them.

It's much more insidious than you let on. It's plain lying about the cost of the service (food in this case) so they get you in the door, then bait-and-switch you when you get the bill.
Just a hunch, but I'm guessing you live in Seattle. I've been noticing the same thing all over, and honestly it should be highly illegal.

More likely that they've laid-off or reassigned the person(s) responsible for Googlecache, and want to sunset the feature as fast as possible.
Re:Google Search officially retires cache link
on Friday February 02, 2024 @06:14PM (#39235780)
Cached webpages have pretty much been dead since the pandemic, at least from my usage in the last few years.
There used to be a prominent cache link under the search results, then it moved to a weird overflow menu thing, and then finally about a year or more ago, Google exposed no cache version for most websites. This just seems like confirmation.
Still really shitty. I used it constantly. I hate new Google.

I would be surprised if this was actual Google hardware.
Most likely this is one of their pagerank (?) servers that Google sold to business customers way back in the day.
