Got this post in my feed, on my android phone, and was very confused on why you would want to type a Google logo on your mac

Very quickly realized Google just made that character their logo as well lmao

Weird, I am on Android as well and all I see is the ol’ X in a box.

Maybe it’s a Google phone only thing.

I learned this in the 90s. Definitely old news, if we are framing it that way.

Wow I had no idea that this existed for such a long time. I’ve clearly been living under a rock… 😅
