Reflecting on 18 Years at Google
- Reflecting on 18 years at Google, former employees share their experiences and observations of the company's evolution over time.
- In the early post-IPO days, Google was known for its 'don't be evil' ethos and a culture focused on doing the right thing for users and humanity.

- Despite changes, some still view Google as a great place to work, but acknowledge shifts towards a 'culture of limited resources.'
- As Google navigates layoffs and changes in leadership, there is a sense of nostalgia for the company's earlier innovative and employee-centric approach.
- Employees reflect on the transition from Google's heyday to a period where the company seems to have lost its edge, especially in search.
- Former employees express concerns about Google's direction and corporate culture, citing shifts in leadership and priorities.
- The dynamics at Google have changed significantly over time, with the company facing challenges in maintaining its innovative edge and corporate ethos.

Why you can’t just repair your phone in the US to avoid Trump tariffs
- Tariffs in the US are expected to increase the cost of new smartphones, leading to more expensive purchases and repairs.
- Repairing old devices may not save money due to expected price increases on parts.
- Globalized supply chains for smartphone components, with most parts produced outside the US, contribute to potential price hikes.
- The tariffs by Donald Trump could affect smartphone repair costs, with companies like Apple and Samsung facing increased prices.
- Higher import prices for parts may drive up demand for repairs rather than buying new devices.
- Repair shops anticipate up to a 20% increase in prices for imported parts, affecting repair costs.
- Independent repair businesses are already witnessing price fluctuations, such as a $10 rise in a particular hard drive for repairs.
- Concerns exist that customers may opt for cheaper repairs using lower quality parts due to tariff-related cost increases.
- Secondhand device markets like Swappa provide an alternative for customers with rising prices for new devices and repairs.
- Swappa may also experience price increases on refurbished devices as sellers adjust prices based on market demand.
