  • I literally have like 1TB of video stored on YouTube and privatized. Google is making $0 from my videos, but they still have to store them and have them available if I want to watch it (it’s all of my Twitch VODs). Meanwhile websites like Streamable perma-delete my 5MB video after it gets 0 views in 2 milliseconds.

    YouTube is a behemoth that will not be replaced.



  • I don’t know if I would trust that, though.

    Google’s authorized repair centers have diagnostic tools and software that allows very deep access to the phone. Something that a random maintenance mode wouldn’t hide.

    When you take your Pixel in for repair, they force you to factory reset it, because they take privacy serious. They don’t want anyone to have access to your data through their repair tools.

    I’d actually be very skeptical about this if I had a Samsung device. Is there proof that this mode cannot be accessed by their repair tools?






  • So even if another company releases a tracker (like Pebblebee), it still won’t work until Google is able to push the necessary updates to Google Play services.

    Ya, but if that takes them a few months, my concern is that there will be a better tracker, or these trackers will be on sale or something.

    Sucks to have a purchase sit in limbo for an unknown amount of time when tech moves fast.

    Boost for me.

    Connect is awesome, but I am just so used to the UI and way Boost for Reddit works. When Boost for Lemmy is out, I will feel at home.

    I also find that Jerboa and Connect are both great apps, but the features are fragmented across them (connect needs jumping between comments with volume keys!). Where Boost is the best of both worlds.



  • Feel sorry for them.

    My parents have starlink. Muskrat raised the price less than 1 month after them having it. Then over the next couple months, rolled out a data limit of 1TB per month.

    Their speeds also went from 250mbps down and 50mbps up to 10-15mbps down and 5mbps up.

    They currently pay $150 per month for bottom of the barrel shit internet that drops signal multiple times per day. When they contacted support, support blamed it on third party routers, despite them using 100% starlink hardware.

    Enjoy that, Mongolia.
