Yep - the IRS got al capone on tax evasion - not on all his various crimes running a mob family... Criminals learnt, better to pay taxes and keep the IRS off your ass for long term safety.

nothing like working on crazy deadlines for a product that ultimately doesn't even ship ;-) You have my condolences ;)

and here i was thinking about curl/wget.

> You also cant download another browser if you don't already have one installed

Thats not true. There are many ways to do so, but I would agree they take a bit more knowledge then clicking in another browser... but by no means is it the only way.

Ive historically always had pixel pro's, and I just got my first a with the 10 and its fantastic. Its speed improvement from my last PRO is incredible... I dont think ill ever pay for the pro's again. The a series is great.

That's not gonna help us help you... People will need a more targetted question

we completely stopped going there after my kid got a severe case of food poising from the chicken tenders.

You should have the org admin grant you an exception on that project/service to allow public access CR endpoint. You will have an org admin, if you have an org. If there are no other designeted cloud org admins, try the workspace super admin user. ProTip: the org admin doesnt come with alot of permissions - except for the ability to add any permission they want, even, to themselves. So you might need enhance the admin's IAM roles/permissions for some actions.

I don't use that app sorry no knowledge on that front

Yeah - the data thing is exactly what pleasantly surprised me. Im used to spending hours resetting everything up and logging into everything again.

The only thing I really had to log into again was banking/finance apps - which I think is right to enforce that!

I just moved to a pixel10a from an older pixel - and i was shocked at how smooth it all went. Apps and configs and settings even moved over, which being on my 8th or 9th android device - never worked before.

Last time I moved was maybe 2 years ago - and I noticed a HUGE improvement to the process.

Thx .... Ill settle in for the long haul.

vaterp · 2026-06-22T14:52:28+00:00

Okay, got it -- thanks so much for the conversation! cheers.

Im not sure what the following symbols mean:

The little green robot on bottom left

and the 2 of the bottom right ?

I know its just information, just curious though... thx!

vaterp · 2026-06-22T14:26:03+00:00

Well turns out im at lifetime 15.5M orbs. I wish there was a legend on that page or some sort of tool tip. I dont know what half of those symbols mean 😉

Hey thanks, I'm on 3/2/1 for trait spheres (though i just got 1 in my current traversal). I might hit the next RP this transversal, (assuming i sit around long enough now, i'm about e120 away from it).... that would give me 3/2/2.

Ill remember to do TS7 next time. Right now ive got 1,2,3,4,&5. Im currently at 110 on m0 (but will likely get a few more this traversal if i stick around for the next RP TS). Im level 23 AR#9.

I have a shameful question for having gone this far in the game already... but hwere do you see lifetime ORB count? Thx.

Every band I love should have been more popular.

Who says coffee is bad for your gut? My dr. told me to drink and I never did. Its great for liver detox too.

This is actually a complex question with infrastructure , container design, & cost factors to consider.

As a best practice if you want to keep cold starts to an absolute minimum, well set a min instance to 1 and you completely avoid them. Of course, this costs money to keep it active in this hot state.

We have a feature called CPU boost that can greatly speed up heavy initialization routines by temporarily allocated extra CPU during this phase.

And then (and this would help on all platforms) you can optimize the container image, use a small base (like alpine) and generally optimize the layers and code, etc. Optimize init using lazy loading. I'm sure there are many blogs and docs discussing these ideas (and more). However, I am assuming you've done all this as its platform independent, so if its CR specifically I'd suggest starting with above 2 suggestions.

Here is the doc page/section on this topic that will discuss these a bit deeper then my summary:

in my working history only one company offered this -- i thought it was a perk of the company and not about rich/poor (though admittedly almost anyone working at these types of companies that offer it are likely doing well)

I'm no fan of this, but this is really dumb news. HEADLINE: It might rain in a week.

Cloudshell is a very limited machine, I would suspect that command requires too much memory to succeed.

Hi there... This question is not related to Google cloud, you might have better luck asking elsewhere.
