Tim Cook to Google users in 2014; “You are not the customer. You’re the product”....hmmmmm

Ya’ll have just become wildly anti-Stadia. All Stadia gets is negative attention. That last paragraph proves my point.

I like this solution much better, because doing the steps in the parent post reduces the functionality of Google Calendar for me. Thanks, it solved my problem!

Funny how they’ll use China’s slave labor but just up until recently even Nintendo wouldn’t sell consoles in China. Why? Because the Chinese government absolutely loves intellectually property theft.

He knows what it means though.  Company’s will be forced to move out of China if they can’t afford the hit.  It’s the only way to hit China.  By taking away their clients.   

I see an immediate problem with this:

I am an IT consultant who is in grad school. Usually I get flak for writing down my notes even though I always carry a laptop for work. This term I decided to take notes on my laptop and realized I remembered about 30 percent of what I wrote whereas when I handwrite I usually remember most of what I wrote. Guess I…

I’d also add (to the concepts below, such as “your brain doesn’t find it interesting/actively useful enough to store long-term”) that, I’d guess maybe 97% of what we read is just the language/context infrastructure required of the author to get their point/story across to the reader. I think, in the end, we don’t…

Nobody is that busy but yet restaurants thrive because people don’t want to cook at home. What’s wrong with someone paying for a convenience? Just think of all the businesses that provide nothing but a convenience: coffee shop, bakery, quickie lubes, car washes, sandwich shops, laundry services, etc., etc. etc.

My office of 1000 people had one of these. People loved it and it made sense to me to have one truck run gas to the office instead of 200 cars make a trip to the gas station.

I travel for work and put 5k miles on my car last year. I partially use the grocery service as I can get deliveries to hotels as well as home, and it is a timesaver as I’m only home 3 days a week, why would I want to go out shopping, when I can have it delivered the morning after I come home, get my fresh produce for…

Agreed. Thats probably the dumbest advice ever. Ooop, someone MIGHT snoop so might as well shut it off and expose yourself willingly! Also, I have never, ever considered email encrypted or not “secure”. Nothing on the public internet should every be treated as secure. Always at least expect something, like this, to be…

Yeah, my takeaway was rather that we shouldn’t use HTML email, just plaintext, and the PGP will still work. This sounds more like Chicken Little than a responsible security organization.

In PGP’s defense, they never claimed to be extremely good...

Does the nearby sharing work with Android?

Google Play Music doesn’t have any of those problems

Google play music let’s you upload music. One of the reasons I use it over spotify.

Google Play Music has new music and lets you upload all your own music files with its online cloud locker, and integrates in intp one library. Been using it for years and really enjoy it.

I still use Google Play Music All Access, because sometimes I just want to listen to something I’ll never buy, but the vast majority of any music I care about is uploaded to my account, and stored on my hard drive.

Sadly, the “for life” thing isn’t completely accurate. I upgraded to business for a while but it is too expensive for me to continue, so I simply wanted to refer back to my 58.5GB account (50GB via Lifehacker, plus referral bonuses.) They cannot seem to figure out how to downgrade me so I get to keep my lifetime…
