  • I made four different assumptions which one did you think was naive?

  • The price is only high because of the artificial demand from all the data centers. Manufacturers are increasing production capacity to provide more supply. Once the bubble bursts, that demand will drop, but the production capacity will still be there. Supply and demand. Price will go down.

  • Sure, as long as you don't account for the AI bubble ever bursting. After that, memory will be cheap. We'll be living in an economic hellscape, but the memory will be cheap.

  • Doesn't your country have privacy laws? In the USA, this would likely be invasion of privacy, harassment, or public nuisance, which are illegal. If it is directly over your property or at an angle that is not visible from the street, then it is absolutely invasion of privacy (sometimes called "peeping Tom" laws). If you have told them to stop, then it's likely harassment or stalking. Ask a lawyer.

    You could send them a cease and desist letter. Or you could construct some passive deterrents; for example, long loops of black thread that would be invisible to the drone and get tangled in the rotors.

  • Anyone wearing one sock and shoe with one fully naked foot is either deeply deranged or some kind of alien pod person. It is a pale approximation of human behavior. Unless you are stumbling away from a grenade attack or something, there is no reason to ever exist like that, even momentarily.

  • Sometimes it's easy to forget just how rare fossilization is.

    It requires that the species live in a climate with pretty specific conditions, to die under a few very specific circumstances, at a particular convergence of atypical events. The dino bones we have represent a tiny little fraction of the species that lived.

  • The only thing unbelievable about this is that I didn't think of it first.

  • We GET it. You vape.

  • This is actually a really interesting article.

    It looks at how social media has evolved, who owns it, and whether it is fundamentally still "social."

  • "Waddaya say Stretch, should we let em go?"

    "Gee, I dunno Stubbs. Let's ask em. Nyahahahah."

  • Yes, there are a couple import tools for Google Takeout, and you should absolutely use one. I don't recall if I used this particular tool, but it is strictly necessary to get a clean import.

    Other examples:

    Google Photos Takeout Helper - Readme includes detailed step by step instructions.

    Takeout Helper Neo - a fork of the above with additional features

    Photo Migrator - designed to work with multiple services

  • Sure, this small and mid-size services are just fine for backing up your data, and should surely be used as such. But using "cloud services" is nonsense. Too bad it has such good marketing.

  • I'm increasingly convinced that "The Cloud" is just a scam. Just keep your own files.

  • Honestly I watched those when I was I kid when it was Ringo Starr, and I never knew more than 2 of them. Now that I have a kid, I am forced to learn every b-list character.

  • You know what, that's on me. I'm gonna fix it.

  • Like Sandy from Thomas the Train Tank Engine?

  • "And can you explain this blank spot in your resume?"

    "Oh yeah, that was back in 2006 when I was... uh, I was in prison. Yeah, that sounds good."

  • The word Soccer comes from England, too. It's a Britishized version of "association football" with a typical R appended.
