Google, unlike all their competitors, actually give Cloud API credits to all paying users of AI Pro and AI Ultra [1] - just use those for direct Gemini/Vertex API access instead of trying to hack the OAuth of Google's apps.

I think they could object to some uses of OpenClaw for that as well - for instance if someone just used a skill without caring what model it used.

great point - I am a heavy user of API calls (using an API key) for gemini-3-flash-preview and I find it difficult to spend my free API credits.

Are they going to release a Gemini desktop app with MCP support so normal people can use it?

Why can't this work with Final Cut Pro on a Mac?

Replacing Outlook with whatever it is the "New Outlook" is supposed to be is so bad that Microsoft shareholders should get involved. It is a total destruction of value.

It's just bizarre. Probably 80% of corporations are paying Microsoft billions of dollars really just so they can have Microsoft Outlook and Microsoft Excel. What makes it valuable is precisely that it is a "legacy" app people have used and built on for decades.

What does MS possibly stand to gain by replacing it? It's a mature application you can pretty much just leave in maintenance mode, with just a couple new features per release (I guess the new hotness would be adding AI or something.) How does it make sense to spend developer-time building an inferior (from a customer perspective) copy and then eliminate one of the reasons your customers choose you?

Those corporations often pay that money through IT departments that are somewhat distant from how the software is used. They are focused on security, manageability, maintenance, legal requirements, help desk workload etc. If it makes those things easier then it is a superior product for those people.

Also, this kind of move gets Microsoft closer to a world in which a workers laptops is like a Chromebook. Everything running in a walled garden of cloud, electron app, and browser tabs. And Microsoft providing the tooling as part of Azure. In the name of security they get to charge rent on everything. Need a fast GPU or more disk space? Rent it from Azure. Need a developer/ai environment? Rent it from Azure. It is a way of creating artificial scarcity and then charging people to escape that.

It's like trying to stop a natural disaster. Microsoft products are cursed.

It depends. Old Outlook keeps failing me, in ways the new, dumb web app has not (yet):

- Not sending e-mail unless I am restarting it (I added Outbox to Favorites to catch this before hours have gone by)

- Crashing when I try to add an attachment, and loosing my drafted email

- Claiming it's out of memory and hence can't add my signature.

Now, granted, all this maybe due to incompentence at my workplace, or me having "too much email or calendars", but boy does Outlook get in the way of me getting work done. I've run into all of this over the last week, BTW.

I'm not saying you aren't experiencing that, but I've never heard of those complaints before and if they were remotely common there is no way Outlook would be used so much that we are at a point of people complaining it will go away.

Maybe a fresh reinstall or something?

Office applications can do all weird kind of things. Often it is caused by 3rd party COM add-ons.

Big 4 do this routinely to check for conflict of interest as a result of audit regs.

You're wearing it wrong.

Presuming Apple left PWAs in just as they were with no changes, i.e. hardcoded to Safari, wouldn't Mozilla (and potentially MS) have immediately sued or complained that Apple was in violation of the DMA by not allowing their browser engines to launch from user added home screen icons?

If this is the case then leaving PWAs as they stood risked bazillions in fines from the EU. No?

the right way would have been:

1. pay some macOS developers if iOS developers are that bad and implement necessary changes on a weekend since both OS are linux and macOS is capable (and they had years)

2. if Apple wants to play the oh-so-difficult card, they have to prove according to DMA why is it so much of a burden, which they cannot because it is not... still, they could have talked to EU to get an exemption to keep Safari web apps unbroken until they make the necessary changes that every web browser is ready to use web apps on iOS

what they did is to break all iOS web apps because they were only possible in Safari, fight one additional year with EU then allow them again after they lost

is not that evil? they dare this because it is only a minority of their users that uses web apps now...

Nothing except lack of will stops them from making PWA's accessible to other browsers.

Apple had 15years to deal with alternative browser engines and they buried their head in the sand the whole time while racking in the money. Arguing it's hard to deal with all the cases within a few months is just giving them excuses for dragging their feet for so long.

These headsets had a nice standard HDMI and USB A 3.0 port. Could have plugged straight into Xbox for "Xbox VR".

Does this include ipadOS?

Does this apply to iPad OS too?
