Since IMAP is a functional superset of POP3, you can use IMAP just like you use POP3 (to fetch and then maybe delete) if you desire. You may need to do a bit of coding, but that's hardly Google's fault.

Though since TFA is about gmail fetching via POP3... if your lightweight embedded app is using gmail, I guarantee that POP3 fetch is not your first (or eighth) problem.

Eh, maybe? More likely Google doesn't want to support a needless-for-99.9% feature. And they're probably tired of people complaining that "Google is hacking me on Port 993!!!!! My firewall says so!"

(Yeah, I was once told my company was hacking another company, because someone there was using our published tier2 NTP server.)

I mean, you can use IMAP as a POP3 replacement if you want. IMAP is a strict functional superset of POP3. Gmail won't use it that way, but we've already established that you don't use Gmail as a POP3-to-POP3 passthru so you shouldn't care about TFA.

Though, since TFA is about Gmail fetching from a non-gmail account via POP3, not fetching from Gmail via POP3, nothing will change for your use case. Unless you are using Gmail as a POP3-to-POP3 passthru, in which case gods help you, because they're the only ones who have a chance.

That WAS public access... I mixed the two up.

I don't hear much "leftist propaganda", except for them quoting Trump verbatim, or telling some stories about black history. Many of their stories I listen to have deep, deep dive into details, and are completely fact checked. They also retract things they say if they are wrong. I would like to hear anybody on FOX do even one retraction. They just keep spouting lies hoping nobody will notice. In any case, the right wing wet dream of getting rid of NPR doesn't look like it will happen... yet.... unless Trump goes full blown Dictator like Putin.

NPR and PBS seems like it will continue. Small stations in rural areas are shutting down. So, no local weather alerts, and stuff like that. I also remember having free access to video editing equipment, and camera's if I wanted to produce anything myself, I'm sure that will go away too. Many now profitable shows started up for free under that system. It seems like tax money well spent, a few dollars a year per person.

Looks like you're stretching to make your point. Electric costs are not that high and gas costs are not that low.

PG&E has TOU plans, Tiered plans, and EV plans.
If you have an EV, the best plan is their EV plan which is only $0.28 kWh overnight (when most people charge their cars).
(Rates are due to go down this year.)
Our local gas prices are $5 or $6 per gallon.

This means that electric cost to drive is 28/4 = $0.07 per gallon (also.... no maintenance cost)

Sorry to have triggered you.
The difference in the popular vote was a very slim margin... Slim enough to be caused by certain people who just couldn't bring themselves to vote for a black woman regardless of her politics.

It's a press release, not a tech spec.
You're not going to be buying these any time soon.

Please don't blame "old people" for the current fascist government.
Lots of young, white, males voted for this.

From TFS:
"the chip could run the then-latest version of Meta's Llama large language model with more than twice the power efficiency of Nvidia's high-end chips. "

This is just more hype.
It's been 10 years since he announced the Semi and still no mass production.
It's nice that one of the prototypes can charge fast but pretty much useless in the whole scheme of things.

Which part of "uses less electricity" don't you understand?
