IOW you could replace everything useful & legitimate Google does (indexing/search) with a single iPhone + moderately large external storage.https://twitter.com/justincormack/status/1008518299792142336 …
Yes Maps and video are useful but outside the original scope of what we thought of as Google (see the followup QRT "cursed image").

You _realize_ "I say this thing I've never done is much simpler than the people who do it for a living say" is Dunning-Kruger, right?

You're misreading my original tweet as "I could replace Google". It's more like "Google search is not something unachievable without a many-billion-$ corp. Could be done with minimal computing resources, smallish company."

The original tweet was a bit overstated on purpose, but the point is valid and one I wanted to make. Not many ppl realize 4+ nines of Google's resource usage are non-search and 2+ are adtech business.
