Do your best to avoid mrdeepfakes. Don’t use a Oculus quest for these immersive videos either.

Teehee

Actually, I was thinking it was RCS. It was regular text messages. Thanks for the correction.

Signal removed it’s RCS support:(

Antitrust laws prohibits killing off your competition. Just because they will have RCS, doesn’t mean they didn’t actively killed beeper.

Unfortunately RCS is on the carrier side. The most basic chat system built in by the phone carrier will likely have RCS.

I go out of my way to support the small websites. If there is an app I want to download, I check out their site first to see if I can buy from there so they can save on the crazy fees google charges

You know what to do, the EU Government.

Why didn’t you say bicycle?

Most tech companies on the stock market.

Plenty of mom and pop shops and 1 man websites that everyone should support.

No, I already had a new job that was founded on remote.

Also they tried to trademark the word “App” Store saying that “App Store” meant “Apple” Store.

Fuck Apple.

Well, Apple stole a patent after they were presented with it when they lied about wanting to do a "collaboration ". Then literally GUTTED their engineering team with crazy sign on bonuses while using what they saw from that meeting and bypass their “collaboration”.

I agree that patents suck IF there was no end date. But I’m totally ok with Apple getting in trouble for blatantly doing something like this.

Fuck Apple. They deserve this and more for being fucking too big to get in trouble.

I quit my job because my boss demanded RTO. They asked me to come back after they rescinded the RTO.

Wait, what does the truck use right now for fuel? Isn’t diesel flammable?

They are currently dumping their cars in the UK market and I think Parliament is considering increasing their tariffs. If they try and enter the US, best believe they will tax the shit out of them.

Thanks for the context. Just seems like there are so many articles about BYD lately.

So many Chinese bots lately.

Google definitely has better face recognition. You can pick up a QNAP and put a Google coral and essentially do the same thing.

I also run a 3rd party software that does the tagging. But it’s annoying to do each time.

This is my setup using the 3, 2, 1 rule:

3: Raid 5 setup with 2 unused drives and setup to automatically spool up and recover if one of the drives starts failing. 2: off-site at the father in laws house (using a Xpenology super tiny PC and an external drive) 1: Monthly Backblaze

While there is risk, it’s def safer if not safer than Google drive.

I will get downvoted for this but a Synology Nas is simple and does 90% of what google will do. They also have their own DDNS or you can use whatever you like.

Downside is tou have to buy their hardware. Unless you do the Xpenology route.
