faust201··on I spoke with a Google worker fired for protesting $1.2B Israel contract
May be you should open a company hire some of these IT workers and then post the results. (not sarcasm but genuinely to prove)
faust201··on Better adb shell
Always see the main folder Android inside /storage/emulated/0

Apps like Instagram or WhatsApp or even Podcast apps DUMP everything there. Many dont clear even if one uninstalls.

faust201··on Chrome Enterprise Premium: The future of endpoint security
While criticism of Google (or FAANG is valid), the issue is these type of articles is that they write these are bad ideas but never propose a viable replacement that just works. In addition, they TheRegister

- has Google Ads

- has prominent AI promoting articles

faust201··on We Can Slay Giants
While diversity is needed the main issue are the absence laws. There needs to laws to hold spokespersons and engineers accountable. Every provider from tiny to any of the tech giants can hide behind both secrecy and security for their decisions. FTC or FCC need to subpoena or whatever these people and one needs to have an independent (NTSB type) board to evaluate these. The way we are progressing forwards is like the banks. Unless there is any large problem law makers or society dont care about it. For example, I found the CTO https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mAUpxN-EIgU - just refusing to answer what videos or material was used in openAI's vast learning. (Note I dont mean only openAI, every CEO/C-level from all companies that have influence on common people)

At the end, journalists also need to be tech savvy + socially responsible. There is still a lot of them that just want to make bucks.

faust201··on Fly.io has GPUs now
> The speed of light is only so fast

This is the title of one of the sections. Why? Think IT sector needs to stop using such titles.

faust201··on India targeting high-profile journalists with spyware: Amnesty
I do hope you already know Amnesty/citizenlab and others criticise other countries too. Don't do this "Only India". Anyone doing mistakes need to be shamed. Why feel so insecure? Did you not ever criticize NSA/etc?
faust201··on NewPipe 0.26
Izzysoft is doing valuable effort.
faust201··on NewPipe 0.26
Many people are patreon or other subscribers. Not needed to watch ads. I would rather pay than waste my bandwidth while on train.

Does it say somewhere in terms and conditions?

faust201··on Is Germany once again the sick man of Europe?
> the VIP treatment if I ever had to step into a hospital.

This is the problem for you. You got VIP treatment in India as you say you get better than FAANG salaries. No. Whether you are a plumber or $M you wait in the same queue.

For you that is painful.

faust201··on Is Germany once again the sick man of Europe?
> I shouldn't criticize those things that are horribly broken - esp. when the politicians show no signs of wanting to fix them.

Of course, they do criticize. Are you even reading German news or staying only in thelocal.de or facebook for information.

so many subs incl r/legaladvicegerman constantly critical of system. I dare you to be critical of Indian system.

see Oliver Welke's "heute-show". Like Jon Stewart's Daily show.

Any change takes time. You have some bad experiences. But I know so many Indians/ Filipinos in Frankfurt with great experiences. Getting even PR residency in 1 month and passport in 6 months.

I have a feeling from your constant repeat of "I make more money than others across many threads" - it seems like you want things to happen 24/7 as you have MONEY. That is wrong.

Even a skilled plumber or skilled IT giant like you are treated equally. You think you need to be invited to FAST track like first class in planes and given service. That is not here. Go to UAE or Liechtenstein or Luxembourg.

Germany works more or less for middle class. Everyone is treated equally.

faust201··on Lacros on Chromebooks transition plan won’t be quick
I believe this would a great thing.

Make IETF standard for cloud notebooks

- If there is an username/password then

- Login from the screen

- If the backend (dropbox or MS or nextcloud or webdav) supports

* Drive(or storage) then it is loaded into a file manager

* Password manager -> it is loaded

* Bookmarks etc

This would mean they can claim that chromebooks are

- NOW UNIVERSAL

- No lockin

- No monopoly

- if other OEMs want they can replace the browser and ship it

(I discussed this with Firefox management that they should build this cloud notebook instead of boot2gecko-firefoxOS but...)

faust201··on ChromiumOS Developer Guide, Programming languages and style
I for one cant believe that no major company like

- dropbox

- Mozilla

- nextcloud

- Backblaze

has forked ChromiumOS and replaced the backends with their storage. That would be wonderful.

faust201··on Deprecated Google Plus API Pages
- There is still a so-called Google Plus API

- And the API reference pages https://developers.google.com/+/api/?hl=en_US is a 404 (Sorry, we couldn't find that page) https://ibb.co/XWsWqGj

- How and why these happen in companies? Are there dozens of people verifying things before pages get deprecated

faust201··on Yubico is merging with ACQ Bure and intends to go public
Really like the SoloKeys... but once you go at the level of small or large MNC they do business with people like YubiCo etc only. Never with tiny shops. (Sad)
