Dropbox announces new Family plan with 2TB of storage for up to six people
Michael Scrip and 2 others reacted to devHead for a topic
Dropbox is a rip-off and a joke. For $99 a year, I can get a Family plan of Microsoft Office that includes 6 TB of total storage, plus the entire Office suite of applications. And Dropbox thinks $20 a month ($240 a year) for 2 TB and nothing else is a deal? What a bunch of jokers.3 points -

Mozilla is worried about being collateral damage in Google's antitrust case

I have no problem with Mozilla taking money from Google to make their search the default. Anyone who cares will execute a couple of "clicks" to change it to DuckDuckGo or whatever.2 points -
Mozilla is worried about being collateral damage in Google's antitrust case
dustojnikhummer and one other reacted to MateerL for a topic
Mozilla truly is a really pioneering company actively promoting an 'open web', far more than Corporations like Google, MS, Apple, Opera, etc. Unfortunately they're giving off free lunches without having a capable source of income. RedHat/Canonical do similar, but they offer paid support, etc. which helps in operating costs. They should invest in/buy Mozilla to keep them alive and free from bankruptcy or the clutches of big companies.2 points -

I really don't understand the draw of Chromebooks. For pretty much the same price as an equivalently spec'd PC, you get a massively limited OS experience. Paying a subscription to run Windows on a Chromebook makes absolutely no sense financially and functionally.2 points -
Facebook rejected two million ads that obstruct voting
+Raze and one other reacted to Tarrant64 for a topic
While I can understand that viewpoint - this is a company that owns it’s own platform. What it does with it, within reason, is frankly their right. Muddying up the waters here with concerns over how much power the platform should have ultimately ends up in handicapping them from doing what they can to control misinformation. We all consent to their terms of service in it’s use, so there’s no real rights being infringed upon here. If people are looking for content that’s not on Facebook or not allowed there, they will go elsewhere. Nobody complains that Facebook doesn’t do Porn. There’s other Tubes and Hubs for that. AI’s or ML’s issues aren’t with biases of it’s training, it’s due to some more complex issues than that. It’s a learning issue, it’s fallible, susceptible to bad data. Deep learning I think helps with this, but when you’re source is the internet of mostly garbage, it’s a hard thing to train. If people have no desire to promote fake news or outright lies, they should stop using and supporting platforms for those who seek to spread them utilize on a daily basis. Everyone’s complaining and concerned over Facebook’s power to control misinformation, but 4Chan is still around and is full of the most disgusting bigoted, racists, misinformed, misogynistic posts day in and day out. Here’s my worry, not to get too political but I’ll align what your concern brings to me with this point: Give government control over what Facebook can and cannot post, and you’ll give the current US Administration the power to control how the current pandemic should be viewed (not based largely on science at all), what can and cannot be trusted as information in the US election, and whether or not the media - regardless of their political leanings - should be able to post the stories that they do to keep people informed.2 points -

How about Win32 or generic Window handle creation, setting the background brush to White or Black based on the user's theme. Having Chrome or Edge Chrome flash white before the UI attaches to the Window is blinding, let alone ugly.1 point -
Quibi is reportedly considering shutting down its streaming service
dustojnikhummer reacted to excalpius for a topic
"However, it later struggled to grow its subscriber base as consumers became reluctant to spend on subscriptions amid the economic crisis arising from the pandemic." No, it struggled to get people to subscribe to short-form content that was free on a dozen other social media sites...EVEN amidst a global pandemic where everyone was staying indoors and at home, starved for content. That's how bad their offering was. This was a transparent "pump up the stock price before we sucker a big company to buy us all out" scam. I'm glad reality caught up with the perpetrators -- who no doubt pocketed a fortune in salaries and bonuses along the way.1 point -

UK: Virgin Media starts Google Smart Home trial
zikalify reacted to restroom for a topic
Seems expensive to me. I have a complete Ring security system, Alex, Chrome casts and Home device setup with VM and they work just great and i own the devices, which i assume you would only be renting from VM? I then pay £80 a year for the extended monitoring on the alarm system with Ring and backup mobile data. Granted the one off cost was quite a bit, but in the longer term it would be a cheaper solution.1 point -

No. I was paying Mozilla with donations and then they started doing dumb (and I mean REALLY dumb) design decisions that ###### me off so hard I stopped.

United States DOJ sues Google for monopolistic practices
ZipZapRap reacted to Mobius Enigma for a topic
The irony, is there is a really good case against Google here, just their Google Services BS on Android would be enough to trigger this type of case, let alone Google Search and all the other crap they do to kill competition - which is a predatory problem they constantly being found guilty going back to the mid 00s. However, you are right that nobody in the *cough* parts of the country and government gave a ###### until the President started complaining about Google's news and search results, ironically calling them out for content published by news and science sites. As we know, facts and science, are biased against lies and lack of understanding.1 point -

No battery drain on iPhone 11 Pro Max. Restore your phone for every major version iteration. I've done restores as opposed to upgrades for every x.0 release and it's been a generally pleasant experience outside of iOS 13. That thing was a mess until just 4 or 5 months ago. Also, might be worth checking your battery health indicator.1 point -

Their little project to accelerate pages on mobile devices. I just find it a PITA. No it's not to accelerate page loading, it's for more data mining. They can see what pages you go on and other metrics, they don't give this away for 'free', they're getting data from it. But yes, it needs to die, in fire.1 point -
United States DOJ sues Google for monopolistic practices
Sin2x reacted to +DonC for a topic
For the most part I agree with you Astra. The thing is, Google isn't being sued for being successful so much as for the means and actions they use to obtain that success. I would love to have the ability in my chosen default web browser to opt out of suggestions from Google to install their crap Chrome browser nearly every time I go to one of their sites. But I will continue to be hounded by them because I am using Edge instead of their browser. I rarely use Google sites but when I do, the incessant nagging to install Chrome is super annoying. It would bug the hell out of me if I used Google Search regularly.1 point -

United States DOJ sues Google for monopolistic practices
ZipZapRap reacted to Paul1979UK for a topic
Free market economy only goes so far, if left unchecked, you'll end up with some massive corporations that could even be a threat to many governments around the world. The truth is, it's rare for big companies to have our interest in mind and it's also a lot harder for smaller companies to compete with bigger companies, especially when they use one market to monopolize another. The way I look at it, this isn't about what is fair for corporations but what is right for consumers, getting tough on a lot of big corporations around the world would likely open up the market for smaller companies to compete better and that is usually a good thing for progress and lower prices.1 point -

goretsky reacted to Geezy for a topic
The first step is not supporting that company. There are many alternatives. Using that site is a choice. Choose to patronize another site, or make your own site, and only endorse what you approve of. Don't validate a site you don't approve of by being a part of it either by posting content, being a user and consuming the content, or pointing others there.1 point -

Well I’m pretty sure you need a bios update for 3000 series. Yeah I think it might cause something like this if it cannot utilize the CPU. And no, to update you need to put the old CPU in. Makes sure you also check power connectors. For my x570 board, I had multiple power connections, else I saw a similar issue.1 point -

This can be genuinely useful even if it looks weird. A landscape fullscreen and 1 half screen which apps can utilize without ruining the fullscreen immersive experience.

Internet issue, need hardware solution
camuflage reacted to +BudMan for a topic
Going to answer the questions? What does the phone not complain have to do with if you had to put in a psk or not. And what is the connection 2.4 or 5? Both? If all it is your typical wifi psk, or open even you could just use any wireless client bridge device.. The trick is knowing exactly what is supported so you make sure the device you get supports that. Is it N or AC connection? Any sort of client bridge device could be used, or any old router running dd-wrt for example should be able to be used as a client bridge.. What you then do with that connection, just put multiple devices on it, put it in front of a router would be up to you..1 point -
