Only a tiny minority will ever come close to using that much space, yet it makes a very compelling advertising point. I've never really use Flickr before but the layout looks decent. Strangely the sign-up page makes full use of my horizontal resolution (my desktop is 2560x1600) yet the actual layout doesn't, which seems strange.

What's the catch? :s

Upload limits? How are they making money now? Do they still have premium options? :huh:

No catch it seems, all my photos from when I had pro have returned

they have a no ads which is ?49.99 a year

I upload all the time and it sucked that my old photos were deleted (not really just weren't shown because I didn't have a pro membership) but now with that new terabyte limit they are back, so I don't have to fear losing any of my uploads any time soon.

I just checked all my scanned photos and digital snapshots... only 25GB. That said, I know my brother subscribes to Flickr and he has several hundred GBs of photos in RAW format, so it will definitely be useful for him. In fact I grabbed a folder of photos off him the other day and it was 28GB alone.

I only upload the best of my photos because I share them in groups and try to get as many views and comments as I can. If I put every photo on flickr id be maxed out easily.

Well, I think they're pushing the idea of uploading images full res.

Also, is there any sort of option to create private sets? If so, you can probably at least create a jpg backup of your library. I could backup my whole photo library in NEF 12MP and still have 90% of the space left. Problem being, it would probably take about 2 weeks to upload even that for me!

Yeah they are, before you had to have a pro membership to get access to full res pictures. Yeah you can create private sets I believe, I don't though I just upload them to my photostream and that's it. To lazy to organize them all lol.

Nice, i might actually try it out.

Says i've been a member since 2005, and have like 50 pictures, but this is all from the merge of yahoo photos to flickr.

Really hard to avoid the 1tb free, but then again the way Yahoo is dying lately makes me hesitant.

Maybe they'll be bought up by Google or Microsoft and flickr will be fine :D

I don't think flickr will die, its been around for a long time and its got probably millions of members. Google would buy it out probably.

Yahoo isn't dying, Yahoo is moving away from made them Yahoo. They know they can't really compete with Google and Bing on search so they turn to Social Networking, they buy Tumblr which is a massive audience and they made Flickr into the one stop shop for sharing and uploading Hi-Res uncompressed files.

It's a good movie, hopefully one that drives Google and MS to offer more on their cloud packages

Yahoo could sell flickr to them.

Sort of shooting themselves in the foot though. I think google are trying to (in quite a tangent) trying to compete with sites such as flickr in a different way. Ya know, with their new online editing abilities and the gallery features on google+.

Does anyone watermark their photos before uploading?

i uploaded pics i took of the storm that hit here yesterday, didn't get any of the tornado though :(

Nah, they are covered under copyright im sure people would still use them without promission but meh. People ask me to use my photos some times and I letem.

    • I don’t get why if I bought the game on the last get I needed to pay $40 to upgrade to the new version in the first place and people who love the game and play a lot would have upgraded already so this is just PR and a chance to grab new players who forgot the game long time ago I think
    • The term "use" is doing a lot of heavy lifting in that headline. "Use" can mean opening ChatGPT occasionally to ask for the definition of a word or information about a specific topic. If you frame the question around how many people use it as a daily driver in their work or personal lives, that number is a lot smaller. Those are the people who pay for AI. Nearly everyone else is happy to use it for free, but doesn't see enough value in it to pay for it.
    • No support for Windows Hello!
    • I think you meant the "ntfs3" driver, but yes there have been a lot of fixes for it in this release and previous releases, not 100% sure if the issue you mentioned is fixed though. In any case, the new "ntfs" driver in 7.1 doesn't have that issue (at least, no reports of such have come thru), but your kernel needs to explicitly enable support for the new driver first (like how CachyOS kernel has it), and you need to edit your mount points in /etc/fstab to use "ntfs" instead of the other drivers.
    • Epic Games says Unreal Engine 6 will help developers "build content faster" using AI models by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Epic Games is rolling out the latest major update to Unreal Engine 5 today, and at the same time, the company also dropped some information on the next-generation version of the product, Unreal Engine 6. This was already revealed a few weeks ago alongside the new Rocket League upgrade reveal. The company says it is combining the features of Unreal Engine and Unreal Editor for Fortnite to create this new version of its popular media creation tool. On top of creating entire games, the new engine will also focus on letting developers operate large-scale live service titles more easily, whether by shipping content into their own ecosystems or into Fortnite. The use of large language models is also mentioned here, with Epic saying it will be a core part of the engine. "We see LLMs, generative AI models, and tools like Claude and Codex playing a central role in helping you build content faster while maintaining the creative control you need," adds the company. Here is the rundown of what's new about version 6 of Unreal Engine: With all these changes to the programming model, portability upgrades, and generative AI integration, Epic says the new version of the engine will "change a lot about how games are made." The company aims to ship Unreal Engine 6 into early access in late 2027, with a full release planned for 12-18 months later. Epic Games also dropped a lengthy blog post about the new Unreal Engine 5.8 update for game developers over here. The release is focused on delivering better performance, customization, and streamlined workflows for development teams. This will be the final major update for this version of the engine before Epic switches to focus fully on Unreal Engine 6's early access launch.
