The author of the article has no theory why they might have done this. I'll suggest that maybe screenshots are used as a way to document obnoxious advertising, and Google would like to make that as difficult as possible.

I'm still on google for email and a bit of drive, calendar etc. I've been reading stuff about Proton with some interest as I'd like to ditch google. This doesn't encourage me - what's the point of a mobile only plan? Isn't half the point of a cloud drive to allow sharing with other platforms? I'm just thinking aloud here - I could go read their offerings where I'd probably find that it's their lowest entry level tier and they have less restrictive plans with clients for various platforms?
I must be old - it's WordPerfect to me.
I'm fairly certain it is only anonymous "on paper". Behind closed doors, they know where it came from and what is expected in return.
It seems most movies these days are just rehashing old content anyway - why not automate it?
I get what you're saying, and agree, but "cashier" is perhaps not the best example? Self check outs have been around for ages and Amazon (I think?) has those "just walk out" stores that are supposed to be AI powered. I seem to recall reading that the just walk out stores were actually powered by cheaper "cashiers", in another country, but - it shows they're working on it.
Where do you live that Antarctica is "up"?
It's only an interruption if you're already busy and productive. This method helped me when I was going through a particularly bad period and couldn't get anything done. The end of the Pomodoro wasn't and interruption, but a goal that I was relieved to reach.
Once an end-to-end, encrypted, connection is established between a pair of peers then anything can be sent through it. The establishment proces is generally facilitated by a server of some description so neither peer needs to allow inbound connections. (I'm a long, long way from being an expert on this and happy to be corrected - but this seems like network fundamentals?)
When I was shopping for brakes, years ago, lots of told me SLX has all the quality/power of XT or XTR but they're a tiny bit heavier and don't have the prestigious badge. I went with SLX and have been very happy.
Wow my memory is bad - I'd forgotten I had seen them live until I read this. I had to look up their tour history to figure out that it must have been the Momentary Lapse of Reason tour. Listening to their albums now I much prefer the earlier stuff, but they still put on a good show in '88.
Up until now I've only seen suggestions for content offered by the various streaming services. Today I started getting ads for a Hyundai car!
I tried to log a support call with Sony but they said they couldn't do anything without a photo of the offending ad. I now have a photo so will try again tomorrow. I know a single support call won't do anything (though I intend to be very persistent), but if enough people log formal complaints maybe Sony will "talk to" Google.
I know this is deep first world problems territory, but I feel really betrayed having a device I paid $2,300 for being used to shove ads in my face.
Silver fox enjoying the sun in my yard. Photo is a bit soft because I had to shoot through a dirty window.

I recently had a bereavement flight with Air Canada. There was no discount, but I was upgraded from my most basic ticket to one that could be rescheduled at no cost.
