Google One gives you an itemized look at what is using your storage space. All of the Google Apps are represented, device backups, and individual apps that are using Drive for storage too. I’d presume it would point you in the right direction, without needing to manually download everything and sift through.

Appreciate the reasoned response. It was my thought in reading the article as well too.

But man would a Team Fortress 3 be welcomed. Like running a franchise into the ground, the lack of levity in games nowadays is sorely lacking.

👍 Precisely.

Don’t encourage the behaviour. As the saying goes… Give a man a fish and you’ve fed him for a day… Teach a man to fish and you’ve fed him for life.

This a huge step back for transparency with Meta (shocker). Access to this data is important for a variety of reasons, and using the recent EU laws as an excuse is deplorable (again, shocker from Meta).

It’s clear the data companies were left alone for too long to rule the schoolyard. It’s going to take some time to treat them and others what decorum looks like without throwing an absolute hissy fit.

Here’s hoping the EU, which seems to be the only teacher on the playground willing to discipline anyone, will set them straight.

😂 As a Canuck, we use both. But the computer term is definitely Kernel. Unless we’re marching out on a battlefield…

I think you may be confused as to who you’re responding to. I’m reading some outrage in your response that is directed towards others and their statements, nothing that I’ve written or believe.

There’s no argument to be made. A (good) translator into another language with take into account the intent of the original language and translate it into a comparative version. That can mean changing stories, or idioms that no longer land in the new language.

I’m not the person who made any claim about reading speeds, and I would disagree wholeheartedly with that baseless statement.

Translation isn’t a 1 to 1 process. Every language has difference, idioms, etc. My understanding is that sign language is no different.

The translator makes choices to convey meaning, as well as the literal sense.

Would you rather watch content in your native language, or subtitled? If you read translated content, it’s fine. But it’s not the same as hearing something performed for you. Might be hard to grasp if your language is largely auditory and written, rather than visual and emotive.

Just because sign language is a visual language, does not mean reading is an equivalent. There is a ton of nuance and feeling that goes into communicating through sign language that is not possible through text alone.

Beyond the communication piece, there is respect of an individual who natively speaks a language, and the importance of keeping the language alive.

Someone give this writer a raise for not using AI to describe a new algorithm.

I’ve been eyeing Spider-Man Remastered for awhile, but never pulled the trigger due to price and the amount of time I have. I’d love to explore that world though!

Thanks so much for doing this.

Beyond a few news articles in there, that actually looks surprisingly balanced.

In my experience it’s the inbox/YouTube where it really gets into it. Subscribing to some of these “alternative news” sources brings a deluge of patently false information with dangerous spin to it.

I’d imagine it’s scant on details because it’s still a theory. The next phase of the competition is funds to build a proof of concept.

Wireless switches — consisting of a transmitter on the switch and a receiver near a light fixture or other appliance — have been around for many years, and have been proven that they can reduce the material and labour cost for wiring houses, says Kambiz Moez, director of electrical engineering in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, but they require batteries to operate.

So the product already exists, what is novel here is a concept to harvest RF energy I stead of batteries.

Yes, it talks about ownership, because the original poster talked about ownership.

Google hosts files, and thus needs to have some semblance of control over what actually is hosted on it, or they become liable for the same content.

Pirated material? Child pornography? etc. It all needs to be scanned and determined if it violates rights/laws and be dealt with.

Google has always done this automatically, because the sheer scale of content they host is overwhelming.

I totally understand the ‘own everything’ mentality that some hold. That’s fair – then host it yourself, encrypt it, and you can hold the key to your little kingdom. For most people, that isn’t a factor.

To get back to the original claim – they don’t claim rights over what you post. It is yours. You just can’t host other people’s stuff. The definition of that is incredibly broad and largely commercial. 99% of people will never, ever run into the issue. 99% of the remaining 1% will discover it innocently (such as another poster trying to back up office). The remaining will already be versed enough to encrypt their data locally before uploading.

Google explicitly stated the exact opposite of what you’ve said here: Google Drive Terms of Service

It’s articles like this that make me glad there are numerous horses in the race.

Autonomous driving is an incredibly complex problem. We have people like Musk who thought they could throw money at the problem and have it solved in a few years, with disastrous results.

We’ve lost Uber, and Cruise is flagging. Both had been touted as examples to follow. Both have had some serious safety problems from moving too quickly and lacking caution.

Behind all of this is Waymo. Plodding along, gathering vast amounts of data and experience and iterating slowly.

I think they, out of all these players, understand the stakes at hand, and the potential profit on the other end. But you have to get it right. It has to be nearly perfect, because people need to trust it, and our emotions are fickle.
