Safari/WebKit on iOS doesn't support Opus which makes it a non starter for modern video call platforms.

I'm actually surprised that this wasn't seen before. It's a domain that can't be blocked in lots of companies, and frequent requests to it won't raise any flags in any company that uses Google Workspace.

You are looking at it wrong by taking the names too literally. GPUs are simply processing units optimized for parallel computation and CPUs processing units optimized for general purpose sequential computation. And these optimizations require architectural trade-offs, so to be efficient at both types you'll need to have both a CPU and GPU.

So think of it this way, a CPU is actually a General-purpose Sequential Processing Unit and a GPU is a Parallel Processing Unit, but renaming them would only add to the confusion.

Of course they will remove the data. If they kept the data while removing the users ability to delete it they would get a record breaking fine for Christmas.

Besides they don't actually care about individual data after they finish processing it, they just care about the resulting aggregate data. Wasting money keeping the emails that they don't need would be cartoon villain level of stupid.

Now I want to know if Harvard accepted her actual application.

Edit: they didn't

Imagine if you could ask questions like "James, Mary, and Jack went to the market last Saturday to buy a shovel, a black bag, and some gloves, to bury Karen's corpse in the deep dark woods?"

In Spanish questions are phrased the same way as affirmations, when you are speaking the only difference is the intonation. Without a mark to say you are starting to read a question it's possible that the meaning changes in the end which would be annoying. (Source: Portuguese is the same but has no inverted question mark, and sometimes it's mighty annoying, especially with long questions)

It must be nice to work only with toy cases where this is feasible.

That's what a bot would say /s

But you're right, the UX sucks, and there are other ways to detect and limit bots that don't impact legitimate users as much - but Google needs to train their AI, and developers need to cargo cult stuff.

It doesn't really matter, they don't expect you to get everything right on these. While most of the time you need to get mostly right (Google is using these to train their AI so often they are not sure themselves), they are also looking at other things, like how you move your mouse, and the cookies that they use to spy on people to determine the probability of you being a human. If you pass a certain threshold they let you through, and you can do it even if you miss a square.

Besides most text on the average computer is either within some configuration file (which tend to use latin script), or within some SGML derived format which has a bunch of latin characters in it. For network transmission most things will use HTML, XML or JSON and use English language property names even in countries that don't speak English (see Yandex's and Baidu's APIs for example).

No one is moving large amounts of .txt files around.

Nope, you just need to convince a hundred something control freaks on a power trip that you are one of them and that they should give you a bunch of privileges, including legal immunity. Easy.
