As it should. Ignore all other comments in this thread. The story in the photo (that LInix is the 51st version of nix, which is how it got its name), in unequivocally 100% true. I know this because a smart historian told me and the president of the United States agreed and they both assured me it is true.

And if you do have insurance and get a bill over a few thousand, there are pretty good odds insurance will deny paying for it and drag you through many levels of confusing and auto-denied appeals over the course of 6+ months! Even if your procedure is clearly covered in your summary plan description or required by law.

Case closed! Wrap it up everyone. Pay no attention to the single missing page in the Walmart catalogue submitted as evidence.

Yeah, I like Ars, but this article is fearmongering trash. It's actually a positive move for privacy. "Gemini Apps Activity" is a setting that allows Google to store your Gemini interactions for analytics, human review, etc..., generally a privacy nightmare. However, with it off, Gemini can't even do basic stuff like setting a reminder. It's just a nonsense-spewing LLM with no assistant functionality. This update allows you to turn it off while still being able to do useful assistant stuff.

Google could have worded things better, but this is a move in the right direction.

They're paid a salary, which is probably significantly more than what drivers are paid.
