Yes they absolutely can. Nowadays it's as simple as clicking "install" from inside windows to try a linux distro

Using them for production for years, never dissapointed.

What you should be aware of is their new exploration of s3 storage. I mean, the s3 works and everything but it's still too eaely - the servers are kind of slow and sometimes fail to upload/download. They are still tuning out the storage architecture. The api key management is kind of too primitive (although much more headache free than configuring aws), and the online file browser is lacking

But for vps servers - they are battletested veterans

The whole dmca that bans user from circumventing enceyption shouldn't even exist and it's a great example of lobbying going horribly wrong and media companies having too much money

What is the saddest thing is that the elections are so far away to remove this dangerous entity from leading america. A democracy turned into an extremist religious abusing populist threat to the whole world. It is on par with russia with its dangerous leadership now

I stopped using google for search too, but saying that ducksuckgo or brave is better at search is not true in my ipinion. Sure, the ai summary sucks and you will gwt spobsored results at top, but google is pretty damn good at searching. No other search engine (besides paid kagi) gave me as good results

I was actually surprised to find a lot of people outside of my bubbles with this sentiment, from regular people from both of political spectrums to companies switching their llm provider (not us based)

Isn't openai getting tanked because of its support of trump and ice?

Have you ever used anything that is on google cloud console? Or tried not to get randomly ratelimited with a single request to a vertex llm model? They are shooting themselves in the foot for solid 20 years, any of these players can compete with google in this frontier

Not sure whether it's a language/pronounciation issue but for 15 years since siri was released i have not seen a single person using it successfully without having to yell at it for not waking up or not understanding the request correctly
