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.

TL;DR: Samsung is better, according to the author.

Some questions remain though, as Google’s Magic Eraser gives multiple options for object removal. Some are quite bad or blotchy, others are nearly seamless. Don’t like any of the options it’s provided, then ask it to try again. The author doesn’t touch on this at all. Did they select the first option everytime? Was this the best of the options they were provided?

I enjoy how this comment seems to counter what another commenter said about you.

It’s hardly a smear to point of a bias or perspective you hold. I’m not commenting on you, your politics, or worldview. Just pointing out that others should do their own research.

But if that is smearing in your perspective, and that makes me a ‘lib’, alright.

I agree with you. Disagreement in views isn’t a comment about an individual themselves.

That doesn’t change a pattern of posting and comments that are distinctly pro-Russian, pro-China.

Just be aware this poster is often posting pro-Russian, pro-China content. There’s value in other points of view and not being myopic, but if you pay attention to posting trends or look at their history, there is a clear bias and/or agenda.

They refused to send a model and asked him not to review until the new software was out. So they knew. He bought one anyway.

If you read through the stories that define them, it makes a lot more sense. Blood and sacrifice are intertwined with life and righteousness. God is holy and set apart, and can’t be in the presence of less – so their lives and habits are built around remaining in relationship to their God.

So the careful handling of death, food, and blood makes perfect sense from that worldview, whether you personally agree with it or not.

You’re referencing a different thing. This is the open source version bundled into AOSP, not the Google Play Services version.

Directly from the source:

So, as I suspected, Fast Pair code was deleted from AOSP because it wasn’t being used by anyone.

And because it wasn’t being used, it was just taking up space unnecessarily. Although HalfSheetUX was only a few megabytes in size, Mainline modules are served to many millions of people, a decent portion of whom are on metered connections.

Note: This has no implications for the Fast Pair feature you’re already familiar with. Fast Pair started out as a feature bundled in Play Services and will remain that way for the foreseeable future. This news just means there’s no longer an open source version of Fast Pair.

He followed this up this morning by saying that the reason it was removed was that it was not being used. So keeping the code in there increased the overall package size.

Spread out over billions of devices and small changes make a huge difference. He also stated metered data plans as a primary motivation.

So tinfoil hats off.

Essentially when you turned off the work profile, it would still sync in the background, just pause all notifications. Previously, turning it off would suspend the entire container and there would be no activity at all.

The rational was that when you unpaused the container there wouldn’t be a lag time to getting everything sync’d up.

It has now been reverted back to fully suspending the container.

A wee bit aggressive there.

Read the rest of the thread. “I can’t boycott what I don’t use” is everywhere. A boycott is more than money, it’s getting the message out there, which was the intent of my post.

Whether you go to Starbucks or not is kind of irrelevant. The broader population needs to know how Starbucks is anti-worker. They are happy to take more money from the consumer, and push the “partner” narrative, but it falls apart when the partners want to be treated with dignity.

That’s a story everyone needs to hear before they spend $5+ on a drink.

What I like about this posturing is that the big tech dogs have given up trying to fight the EU. They know that the law makers are serious about enforcing their rules, and the market/fines are too large to ignore.

They’ve moved fully over trying to circumvent the law, or get exemptions. Historically, the EU has not been kind to that either.

I really enjoyed Equilibrium (2002). Is it derivative of 1984 and Fahrenheit 451? Absolutely. But so was V for Vendetta.

It’s a B level film that still packs a punch today, particularly in a dystopian era of politics. The message of learning to connect continues to be relevant in a hyper connected, but shallow relational landscape.

They are referring to Chromebooks, which have a published end of life cycle because the OS is built around specific boards and then rebranded around those features to partners.

Very different beast than the Android-based Pixel Tablet.

Might be a play on the word “see” here.

Wars are distant things to North America. A product that is viewed only through glass or a screen. There has never been conventional war on modern north American soil, so it is something people go to, but not a devastation that really affects day to day life.

I’d liken the attitude more to Hollywood movies: an export of American (US) culture.

So the understanding that this is people’s literal homes. That life is finite, and war is atrocious is disconnected. I can watch Saving Private Ryan, Band of Brothers, Black Hawk Down, etc. to get a taste of war, but when I’m done with it, I want it to resolve and be over.

That’s not possible for Ukrainians. Their country is still occupied. The devastation on their land will continue for decades.

Even if they crash through the lines next week, and sweep aside Russian defences like dust there are decades of rebuilding and de-mining ahead.

The cultural West must be willing to be in that journey every step of the way, or we risk another radicalized generation in the future that heard the promises, but lived the broken actions.

All in my opinion, of course, from the safety of my home.

It’s an interesting product of a western world that hasnt really seen war in 70 years. It’s always been far away.

We seek instant gratification, when in reality these are people’s lives. It should move slowly, especially against heavily mined positions. I’m wondering if we’ll see much progress until the F-16s enter the field to gain air support for the ground troops.
