Not sure if this already exists in some form, but I want something that always records where I’ve been. I am a very forgetful person and the Google maps timeline feature has been very helpful more than a handful of times. Unfortunately, it means that Google knows exactly where I’ve been also…
I just want to be able to check where I was the afternoon of a random Tuesday three years ago!
The actual best way to deal with surplus is to store it all, just in case.
The events of this story are bad yes, but I think it’s important to point out that the ‘$33k’ figure is using AUD, otherwise known as the weakest dollar. That’s a bit under US$21k. Still bad, but obviously not nearly as much.
With statements like that, the Onion writers will soon be out of a job
Surprised I haven’t seen anyone mention something like a very old tree or mycelium network
It’s also coarse, irritating, and rough
Hey, people view something as locked down and proprietary as the Apple ecosystem as a good thing, so not really sure about that.
I’m pretty sure someone like my parents has no idea what that even means, though I guess many of these companies might just be targeting younger people more likely to know
Spotify is very easy to crack, at least on Android
Revanced also works with no problems
Revanced now, but yes it works
Rule of cool? Bucket of water at least kind of makes sense, while wet socks is just lame
I just walk and stare down anyone that tries to drive illegally
Never too late to change. Just look at Amsterdam now vs a couple decades ago
Pretty sure you can loan ebooks from libraries online in my area, so that’s something
I’m glad there are positive changes, and obviously those are most effective in healthcare situations.
However, from my personal experience as a university student in Canada, everything is the same if not worse than before. Hand sanitizer stations have been removed or simply not refilled, people straight up refuse to wear masks even when they’re sick. A week or two ago in class, I saw many people literally sneeze into their hands and then wipe the snot on their chairs (and these are supposed to be engineering students!). There is still no ventilation or even filtration in any of our classrooms.
Not only is personal protective equipment not used by almost anyone, its use is actively stigmatized by many, including professors at school. To me this is completely ridiculous, but unfortunately reality.
It truly feels like most people learned absolutely nothing in the past several years
No way. Spinning rust isn’t getting any cheaper these days and these companies are expected to not only serve all their existing content, but allow for free uploading and storing in perpetuity. Google is a great example of one of these massive companies trying desperately to reduce the amount they have to store. They recently ended the free Google photos backups and they are more aggressive with deleting inactive YouTube accounts.
I would argue that there is a fundamental difference to this forum style system consisting mostly of text and links, and a traditional ‘social media’ that is entirely photography and short form video. Correct me if I’m wrong, but TikTok, Facebook, etc. store all of the multimedia content on their services themselves, right? The costs cannot be comparable.
I have fiber to home in Canada
