    Google Chrome "enhances" our privacy further
  • It's a twitter image that says,

    "For anyone unaware, Google Chrome is currently rolling out an update that tracks your interests based on browsing history, then share them with 3rd party websites. The notification page makes it sound like they added a new privacy feature, but in actuality they automatically enrolled you into their tracking system and you have to go and manually opt out."

    There's a screenshot of a pop up from Chrome that says, "Enhanced ad privacy in Chrome" with some marketing spin on how you get more choice on the types of ads you see.

    has your YouTube consumption decreased after implementing the "no history, no recommendations" feature?
  • I’m in the same boat. The recommendations don’t bother me too much, except when it recommends me videos I’ve seen in the recent or distant past. Also, when I watch one video from someone, then come to find out they’re part of some right wing culture and end up getting recommended the right wing rabbit hole videos for a few weeks.

    How to backup my iPhone Photos to AWS S3?
  • You could look into the app Photo Sync on the App Store. It should support S3 compatible storage, although I’ve personally never used it (only used WebDAV and SMB).

    WhatsApp will allow full resolution fotos
  • Signal is a great alternative to WhatsApp. Images sent aren't going to be full quality and will go through some compression of course, but the final sent picture is still going to be leaps and bounds over the garbage that WhatsApp sends. When going through old pictures on my camera roll, I can instantly tell what was sent/saved over WhatsApp compared to Signal due to just how pixelated it gets.

  • Can you expand on what you’re looking for exactly? Most consumer routers will let you customize the subnet range (192.168..).

    A few useful web apps I’ve found are duolingo and Uber, which have native notifications on iOS without needing to install an app.

    Standing my ground on going back to the office
  • You’ve made your case and stood your ground, and until it’s an official policy and nothing more than “guidance” you’ll probably be ok, honestly.

    A few months back I was offered a promotion and a fancy new job title, with the caveat that I would need to move to another country. I countered with more or less the same argument as you, “I’ve been doing this from home for years and everyone I work with is remote anyways; I’m not moving” and was met with a “hmm…fair enough”.

    YSK: Signal is a great secure private messenger app comparable to others on the market.
  • All fair complaints. I've managed to switch over all of my contacts to Signal (that I care to talk to, at least).

    My biggest gripe is no back up support on iOS, meaning that if I lose my phone I lose everything. People have tried hand waving it away as a privacy feature, but I think backing up messages is a bare minimum for a messaging app - especially with the released of Advanced Data Protection for iCloud.
