Didn't Google recently report a verifiable quantum advantage?

You know you're blowing your reputation when such claims are met by scientific articles with the headline, "Google claims 'quantum advantage' again." [1]
replyDont they report an advantage based on simulating quantum effects every other year? I was promissed a quick way to decrypt my old harddrives decades ago, can we have that at some point before the sun burns out?
replyAre your old hard drives encrypted using asymmetric cryptography? If not, I'm not sure who made you that promise.
replyThe funny thing is we already have PQC so even if quantum computing works, it will be immediately irrelevant.
replyAt least for breaking crypto, which seems to be its headline feature. Maybe there are other useful things it can do?
I expect they're just banking on getting their investment back with some fat returns by licensing it to the NSA to decrypt their hoovered up encrypted coms, with their data storage now reaching up to the yottabyte level. That's a lotta byte.
replyOn what? They can't run it against anything real
