Most still refer to the overarching corporation as Google, though they are now called Alphabet Inc. and “Google” is their search engine and something of a sub-umbrella brand-corporation.

A filesystem I use because of checksumming and de-duplication.

Very good, although I’ve had a sketchy history with it. I’ve used multiple versions of it, sometimes mounting the same partition with different versions of it.
