They’ve been playing the long game here…encroaching on your Drive storage for years

• Gmails didn’t used to count towards storage
• Photos didn’t used to count towards storage (unless stored in “Original” quality)

I’m wagering “Location Data” will be along soon. Then “number of passwords stored”.

Next move will be “number of connected devices”, even though that doesn’t impact how much they have to store.

Finally they will get round to billing you on your number of individual body hairs (shaving in breach of T&Cs).

Don’t know why you got downvoted. I mean, I’d have said “many” rather than “most”, but in principle this is true.

Yeah you were lucky. I had to take public transport for the number 93 bus. Memories of queuing in the rain.

On the plus side, the bus was filled with pretty Japanese students going from their Hall of Residence to University.

Android User here. Never owned any Apple device.

But they’re fucking good quality. Anyone can see that. So what’s the problem?

I like Android 'cos I like dicking about with it. Some people don’t want to dick about with their phones, they want to do other stuff that could be more interesting.

What a shame. A lot of guys will have worked hard on this, perhaps going on a journey from initial enthusiasm at the novel gimmick to anxiety over real-world usability.

Sadly they’re going to lose all their money or, even worse, find a way to pay back the VC.

So you could hava “Delta decent airlines” and “Delta fucking shit piss-stained seats threadbare aircraft $15 50ml Coke cans” then?

Totally different market sectors.

If it’s all in writing you can’t just force another company to do what you want. What you can do is wriggle, twist and delay until it becomes too expensive for the smaller company to continue to pursue.

However judges are more than well aware of this technique and will allow the plaintiff to accrue costs against Legal Aid (paid for by government).

So what usually happens:

1. Small co files against large co for using same name
2. Large co produces huge response document which is all piss and wind
3. Small co says they can’t afford the costs to answer each point
4. Judge permits Small Co to use Legal Aid.
5. Large co offers to settle. (E.g. you’re a 3 person sandwich shop. They offer you £10m. No more work, no more hassle)

If Small Co is energetic, young and courageous, they may choose to fight to the death. But Legal Aid has a limit…

Thank you, I’ve saved that for a quiet moment.

Presumably the pilot would have been ordered to do this. To what end? Why?

Yes China, we know you want Taiwan back. Either commit to solid action or don’t. This bizarre behaviour just risks lives and expensive aircraft.

Seriously, what’s the point?

Yeah man, that scratches the itch!

Fun (albeit personal) fact: I’m a Brit who was sent to work in Texas in '96. I’ve still got a “Don’t Mess With Texas” t- shirt from that time.

Yeah I also wondered if “nuclear gravity” was some fascinating new branch of physics.

Got real disappointed when I realised that it meant dropping 'em.

Thank you. Your comment/advice has completely validated my switch over to Lemmy.
