Fuck no. I’m out.

Yeah, but ignoring the delete requests, and storing the data puts them out of compliance with European and American deletion and retention laws. And if they were lying, and were using user photos to train models, they have more than enough non-deleted photos already.

I’m not pulling out my jump to conclusions mat quire yet. The database corruption issue sounds more reasonable. That stuff happens, and Apple isn’t zeroing data. Most people aren’t. Because the data isn’t zeroed, a file can resurrect when a corruption issue is remedied.

The difference here is that the files aren’t on Apples servers, they are on your phones internal disk.

?

This is about files that are on iCloud servers. Specifically, some photos on iCloud servers don’t get properly flagged for deletion when the user requests it. Something was getting corrupted.

Apple fixed the corruption issue, so now a handful of photo files affected by it appeared to rise from the dead. The files were always there in the cloud, but something like a corrupted DB entry was hiding them from view. Users thought they were deleted, but they were in some sort of corruption purgatory. Not visible to the user, but still taking up storage space.

Once the corruption issue was remedied, the photo app recognized the files, didn’t realize they were previously flagged for deletion, then started to sync them to the device. AKA, download them.

And yes, you can run third party software on Apple’s operating system. There are quite a few third party apps for managing iOS and MacOS’s file system.

Big complaint isn’t a lack of 3rd party apps, it’s that it’s hard to side load apps that aren’t signed.

The odds of being in a fatal helicopter crash are impossibly small. 0.63 out of 100,000 in the USA

airmedandrescue.com/…/us-helicopter-accident-rate…

And if you read up on what causes a lot of these fatalities, you see a lot of accidents with pilots and personal aircraft, or pilots trying doing things like high risk medical evacuations.

The chances of dying in a helicopter air taxi are insanely small.

Oh great, another log onto the raging fire in the Middle East.

Allow me to demonstrate something.

Nah, the US government will pander to the real estate industry and subsidize insurance, just like they have done in the south east for flood insurance.

California is the nation’s biggest economy and the nation’s biggest real estate market. If that were to get disrupted, people are going to freak out like they did in 2008.

If you want some big city live’n, this place in Wyoming’s capital is 160k and has a killer Kiss room.

With a room like that, do you need anymore?

It’s got one. Here’s the virtual tour from the listing. tour.corelistingmachine.com/tour/titan/?id=834730…

We’re been here before. People implement an extreme policy, the extreme policy makes life worse, then they say “the policy was good, but it didn’t work because it didn’t go far enough.”

We don’t have a democracy, we are a constitutional republic

This is the new battle cry of American fascism.

The opening of the American Declaration of Independence literally states that the country is going to establish a government that derives “their just powers from the consent of the governed.”

Where do you live where leeks are not common? Speaking for California here, they’re a common grocery store item.

Ghostalmedia, 26 days ago

I feel like this thread is going really be “available in your part of the US.”

Grocery stores and populations are pretty varied across the US. What you can easily get in a San Francisco, Manhattan, or Boise grocery store can differ quite a bit.

Ghostalmedia, 26 days ago

Yeah, probably has more do to with proximity to at least a B tier grocery store. If your local grocer is Target, Walmart, or Family Dollar, then you’re only going to have access to the vegetables from Veggietales and bread from a plastic bag.

Electric cars have a very legit use case for this… extended charge times. The video games and streaming apps are so you can kill time.

Telsa’s have pretty fast charge times, but even those are slower than a gasoline fill up. Moreover, if you get cursed with charging at a non-Telsa station, you could be there for quite a bit.

Ghostalmedia, 26 days ago

Yeah, sometimes you’re in BFE and there isn’t much around. Other times you just want to eat fast food in your car like an animal and watch a TV show that is too embarrassing to watch on the couch with your significant other.
