Oh he will retire alright… from his flesh though.

I keep hearing this thing about delivery.

I can say that personally here in Spain, of course it’s a completely different place, the overnight 1 day shipping still works. Just saying that the enshittification is not global at least on shipping. Of course all depends where you are located and each product if they are prime or not, which hour you order it, etc… But the day they say is the day your receive it except some very very rare exceptions when there is a delay.

Of course that’s just my experience in my town…

It doesn’t necessarily need to be sinking. It could have some sections flooded and not sink anymore… But yeah it’s a bit of nitpick…specially if the boat it’s stuck and cannot be moved by itself, which is the case here and while towing it it could eventually sink if some stuff continues to break or similar.

If you hold the click, not sure on Iphone, but on Android usually you can share the link and usually in that screen the link appears. Other ways can exist if it shows to copy the link or similar.

And now with AI they can get even weirder, specially if they trained it on already weird stock photos.

He added more info, is for site/media specific restrictions. Like only 480p video or stuff like that.

As other said, it doesn’t follow net neutrality but…that depens on country and other stuff.

It’s specific to signal? Like they want to block people registering or what’s up with that SMS block?

I mean… it’s not great but unless you don’t have family or they are not aware of those accounts that will not last years.

I got all the rest and I see your issue with wanting to sync only individual files. But I didn’t quite get what you mean with this: “…that the user can’t enter”. You can enter and copy/move/edit files… I cannot understand what you meant with that.

Regarding the sync thing, I am not as annoyed by it as much as you seem, and my use case probably was different, but in case it helps somebody what I opted to was to use it as a disk and use tools that work with disks, so in my case although other tools could be used I use FreeFileSync to copy files from the Drive to a local drive and viceversa. Mostly for backup purposes.

I would be tempted to say in some cases it is even better as in the past you needed to to use their APIs or use their tool to setup those specific sync options and now I can use any tool that works with copying/using normal files.

That said… for other environments like a server or similar, then you are back to RClone and API auths or similar to do actions on your drive.

You have to keep it all downloaded and synced or none.

This is me just nitpicking, but you can flag folders/files to be available offline and it will keep a local copy always, but it will be in their drive thingy. So you can access it even when offline but it’s not copied outside their virtual disk. It’s just a right click menu option.

But there are other situations that manually saving wouldn’t be solved and auto saving does.

Like it’s easier to lose data if something happens before you manually save it. With auto saving that’s more difficult as it is auto saving every x time or x changes. Yeah you could do that manually… every x minutes/work but it’s something that clearly should be automated.

The main issue here was assuming something has a feature and that it has it enabled without checking if it does.

Well actually you got confused as I am not the guy who did say “disk drives”, that’s somebody else.

In any case I understood you as talking about the non BluRay indicating they are common in builds.

I mentioned BluRays because that’s the only one that nowadays could make sense to have and could be common to add to a build, but not even that is being used commonly due to being expensive and basically only used by movies and those are usually played elsewhere.

I honestly don’t think most people would bother building a new PC with a normal disk drive, they are completely useless. New games/software/video/music are digital or use BluRays, except music I guess. And any other uses has been replaced with external USB drives or other mediums as those are better in many ways. So unless you have some specific need it’s worthless and if you have a need a external USB disk drive is more practical.

Idk about now… But BluRay Disk drives were quite expensive and not worth it, only worth it if you could burn Blu rays but those were even more expensives. So not common at all. Even physical games that could have benefit from then used just multiple DVDs instead, like the Flight Simulator 2020 which uses likes 10 DVDs

Impossible, internet has this advanced system that ensures complete integrity between strangers and ensures that only the truth and only the truth can be shared.

Ok… But is ££8 more expensive than £8?

Not sure how some red light 🚨 would help much.

I’m still one shitty windows zero day click away from getting my workstation or browser tokens owned though, I can feel it.

As somebody taking like 0% of all that measures and not having any problem, luck was involved for sure, unless they have a good reason to attack you in particular… I feel like you will be fine…

I meant misclicks like clicking by mistake, like you clicked the item while trying to click something else or simply clicking by mistake the physical button of the mouse… Maybe uncommon… true but when it happens that a folder or full app opens is annoying.

Avoids misclicks from opening stuff by mistake just for that alone is worth it to me.

Seems like a shame to throw away

Don’t throw away glass! It’s almost always recyclable if you cannot find a reuse for it!

I mean… maybe because I am not a native English speaker but how you say it normally? Don’t people say “throw away” even when they throw it to the recycling bin as well?

I never thought it would imply to not recycling it, I am confused.

With that logic clearly I wouldn’t allow him to babysit anyway.
