I'm super confused by the FUD spread in nearly every comment here.

Pretty much every argument boils down to "we don't trust google does what they say", which is funny because I'd like to challenge anyone to provide evidence that google actually sells any of your data. They sell advertising slots that they promise will find the right people, but your data never leaves google. No advertiser gets to see it.

This VPN service promises and has been independently audited to never log or analyze your traffic and even has built in provisions to anonymize your traffic within Google so they can't reconstruct it.

So apart from the questionable assumption that google is blatantly lying, what's the argument here? Apart from maybe missing some popular VPN Features like country selection.

Also this is for people that already pay for Google storage anyways, so I don't see the problem for the intended target audience, it's sticky an improvement in privacy for them and they get it for free. It sure as hell beats getting your traffic intercepted and ads injected into random http pages like some ISPs do.

Pretty much every alerting system I know also has a filter option to only apply automated discovery rules to certain filesystem types.

But yes, most don't first squashfs or mounted read-only snapshots by default and it sucks.

In Germany we need coins to unlock supermarket carts, so I use the coin pocket for it's intended purpose to house my one coin.

But it's a gigantic waste of energy and time when you could just download a 2mb package and be done with it.

Alternativ hat Amazon auch eine Funktion dir alle Daten über dich auszugehen. Dann bekommst du eine riesige zip Datei die auch Details für alle deine Bestellungen enthält.

Mit Programmierkenntnissen ist das nervig aber durchaus möglich aufzubereiten.

Google erlaubt es den Angestellten auf den Firmenhandies private Google Accounts und private apps zu haben. Genauso das private Konto im Browser des Firmenlaptops... Was laberst du? 🤣

That's why you do regular restore tests on separate systems. That should be standard procedure for any company. A fully encrypted disk should be noticable immediately.

If your backups are online and not in a warehouse, you are doing it wrong. Even my own personal backups are on disconnected disks. What a bunch of amateurs.

Which is completely fair to say but does not mean that people here should shit on windows users in general. If it works for them, let them do their thing.

That's a good point, India is currently also in a fantastic trajectory

They sure have Nazis in Ukraine as has every country.

But saying that the fascists in Italy have anything to do with Ukraine needs very good evidence to support such a wild claim.

But that's even worse a comparison.

First of all, the German recovery after WW2 is called "miracle of the Rhine" (or Wirtschaftswunder) for a reason. It WAS very impressive.

At the end of WW2 Germany had a gdp of 160 billion dollars, a fully literate und educated population and a reduced but existing industrial base.

Wikipedia: "When the People's Republic of China was founded in 1949, more than 400 million of the country's more than 500 million people were illiterate, and the illiteracy rate was about 80 percent, including over 95 percent in rural areas."

Per Capita GDP in china was 10% of that of post war Germany and china had no major industry to speak of and was mostly agrarian.

I never said that other countries did not do impressive things, but I think there is merit to the claim that few improved the lives of the population as thoroughly and fast and at a scale as china did.
