I have a pair of AirPods Pro 2 and I would say I get the same benefits plus more.
They do cost more than this product though.
But... those go in your ear. These don't.

a 3-in-1 wireless charging pad for $30 from amazon to put on my bedside table.
now I wake up with my phone at 100% every time!
What devices do you use this to charge aside from your phone?
Search for "all quotas" in the GCP console, from there you can view all your quotas and request increases.
Right. Unfortunately their right to request increases was removed. The exact wording: “Based on your service usage history you are not eligible for quota increase at this time” and then dead ends trying to reach someone.
They had billing accounts set up for all their projects. They were happy to hand over money but had no ability to.
Anecdotally, I know a paying GCP customer that recently got quota blocked on the number of global static IPs they are allowed to create. We could not figure out how to contact someone to increase it, and nobody knew why the quota was set so low (4). We just kept running into automated systems that gave circular information on how to request an increase. We kept getting links to sign up for a free tier account.

What an atrocious user experienceedium give to their viewers. I made it to the first paragraph, whilst the site loaded and reloaded as it determined whether I was to be trusted with their text.
The article? What happened exactly?
In my opinion, the worse part of the article is that it only shows the simple cases of feature branch history.
In particular, they show the following comparison:
Merge:
-> C3 -> C5 -> C7
/ /
C1 -> C2 -> C4 -> C6
-> C3 -> C5] -> C3' -> C5'
/ /
C1 -> C2 -> C4 -> C6
Merge:
-> C3 -> C5 -> C7 -> C9 -> C11 -> C13 --------> C15
/ / / / \
C1 -> C2 -> C4 -> C6 -> C8 -> C10 -> C12 -> C14 -> C16 -> C17 -> C18
-> C3' -> C5' -> C9' -> C13'
/ \
C1 -> C2 -> C4 -> C6 -> C8 -> C10 -> C12 -> C14 -> C16 -> C17 --------------------------> C18
And the complexity without rebase grows even more if more people are doing local merges and pushing to the same remote branch.
I feel like you inadvertently confirmed the authors point. In your “complicated” example, in order to visually show the baseline after rebase you removed the earlier C3, C5, C7 and C9 commits. But the authors point is that merge commits just need better tooling that can make it clearer what the baseline is!

Right. I have Visual Studio installed. I don't need a container to build the application, I only need it for deployment.
Container to build is nice in CI pipelines, then you don't need msbuild installed on CI runners.

Pagination in API's are a PITA as you have to make many requests to get all the data. 99% of the time you want all data, not just the first page. For the 1% use case you could use http-range or page. Pagination is often implemented as an premature optimization.

You betcha. Once upon a time there was a 6-person rotation, now down to 2.
