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+.

    • Brave Browser 1.91.178

      By Copernic · Posted

      Brave Browser 1.91.178 by Razvan Serea Brave Browser is a lightning-fast, secure web browser that stands out from the competition with its focus on privacy, security, and speed. With features like HTTPS Everywhere and built-in tracker blocking, Brave keeps your online activities safe from prying eyes. Brave is one of the safest browsers on the market today. It blocks third-party data storage. It protects from browser fingerprinting. And it does all this by default. Speed - Brave is built on Chromium, the same technology that powers Google Chrome, and is optimized for speed, providing a fast and responsive browsing experience. Brave Browser also features Brave Rewards, a system that rewards users with Basic Attention Tokens (BAT) for viewing opt-in ads. This innovative system provides an alternative revenue model for content creators and a way to support the Brave community. SlimBrave Neo takes all the good things about Brave and makes them even better by keeping everything clean, light, and privacy-focused. It removes the extra clutter, turns off features you might not need, and cuts down on anything that could slow you down or collect unnecessary data. Because it relies on simple settings and policies instead of modifying the browser itself, you still get full Brave compatibility—just in a smoother, lighter, and more privacy-friendly package. Brave Browser 1.91.178 changelog: Fixed certain extensions not working as expected. (#56271) Fixed inability to use Brave Sync in certain cases. (#55203) Upgraded Chromium to 149.0.7827.196. (#56598) Download: Brave Browser 64-bit | 1.2 MB (Freeware) Download: Brave Browser 32-bit View: Brave Homepage | Offline Installers | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware

      Yeah, I signed out of everything when I changed the password to my account. I keep checking device history and there's never anything new other than my own activity.

      Microsoft are already committed to making patches for Win10 due to the IoT edition, so they may as well continue to sell access as they were doing the work anyway

      Oh goodie! We can look forward to more videos of people with these huge bombs catching on fire, exploding etc. There is a reason why most countries restrict the size of LiOn batteries, especially in air travel.
