That’s the unfortunate truth. Fortunately Microsoft ISN’T doing this. Apple and Google seems to be the ones doing most of the evil.

Come to Taiwan. We are the first(and only) Asian country to acknowledge same sex marriage.

You will be safe here and have freedoms.

More reasons for the US government to break them up. Their walled garden kills innovations and competition.

Can you imagine Microsoft stops selling Win11 to the OEM and is only available on their hardware? Same for the app store. Imagine having to buy your games through their store without the ability to side load software?

How come Microsoft gets shit but Apple doesn’t. Fuck Apple.

Fuck the CCP. Just leave us alone.

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.

Old men with credit cards have far more money than you sometimes get lonely. You’re not the demographic they are looking for. As a matter of fact, you too are benefiting from old men with credit cards.

Fucking apple and it’s greedy service.

Installed it on my Fold 5 and runs great until opening Wine internet explorer and it asks to install Gecko to render html. After downloading, it freezes and crashes.

You shouldn’t exist.

What is surprising is that it’s only 10%.

And… Alcohol poisoning.

Use real debrid to download torrents.
