I've spent a good majority of the day moving 750GB of files out of my Google Drive over to my @protonprivacy drive.

I've quit using Google Chrome(long long time ago).
I've quit using Gmail.
I've quit using Google Drive.
I've quit using Google Keep.

The one thing that is just too damn good to quit using that Google makes is Google Photos.

While there are replacements, there's nothing that comes even remotely close to being as good as Google Photos in my opinion. Literally NOTHING!

Not sure what you mean by Google not giving enough storage.

I mean, ignoring the past point when Google Photos was unlimited, Google includes 15GB free, and then it's $20/$30 a year for 100GB/200GB, with even more storage options in the multi-TB range if you're ok spending the gobs of money for them.

I use Google Photos a ton, and despite that its only using 19GB of my storage after almost three years, and most of that is a few long videos I probably should delete. Admittedly I use their Storage Saver compression, but 16MP photos and 1080p video is more than enough for my uses.

iCloud on the otherhand only gives you 5GB for free. Then charges you $12/$36/+ a year for 50GB/200GB/+.

You can debate plenty of things about Google, like whether there should be another cheaper plan option before the $100 plan for 2TB, but saying they don't offer enough storage is just weird.

So does Google, for $100 a year or $10 a month.

My car was beeping at me because my "passenger" wasn't buckled in.

Said passenger is simply two hard drives. But sure, I guess I should put their seat belt on!

Remember kids: if the government shutdown this weekend, that includes the FCC.
I've got my RF modulator hooked up already. NTSC analog TV on VHF channel 6 is ready to go the instant the government shuts down.
Pirate TV forever!

@foone
Broadcast on Channel 3 or 4, even many modern Flat panels still support those analog channels for compatibility with old sources like VHS players or game consoles. I recently tested this using an HDMI to Analog modulator I found on Amazon.

With over 48K followers now, I do have to wonder - how many are actually still on Mastodon 🤔

    Popular Fried Chicken and now Seafood chain in the US. Has a Southern US, or more specifically Louisiana, style to their food. They don't have any locations outside the US that I'm aware of.
