As a software dev, I don’t think there really is a better way. One thing you could do to avoid this is to install a second drive and boot to completely different OSes. You could boot to a Linux drive for personal stuff, and only use Windows for gaming.
These gaming companies are pretty aware that they go bankrupt if they either get a reputation for abusing anti-chrst data OR are full of cheaters. They have some incentive to use data ethically. But it’s still a good thing to keep an eye on.
Download your data while you still can.
You can get an old version of the software without the features blocked.
On the Fediverse, you can go to a different instance.
Yet.
It’s something like
Help > About > Check for updates
My 7.6.0.3 won’t auto update. Says there are no updates available. I’m trying a manual install.
They can sell colors and themes as DLC! Cosmetics for your home!
If you can open it, they can open it. There’s not much of a point if it’s something you can undo.
I would make sure the firmware can’t be updated. Uninstall the Hue app for sure.
After they make the change, someone with an old Hue bulb should go to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.
Making this decision retroactive is clearly false advertising and anti-consumer. I don’t really give a shit what their terms of use were.
They can do what they want with their future bulbs. The old ones need to be grandfathered in.
Yeah, that ain’t gonna cut it.
enshittification is an inevitable late stage consequence
Maybe, but I don’t think it is. Enshittification is a direct result of our tax policy that encourages cashing out, only looks at the short term, and requires constant growth.
There was a time when companies built a reputation and held onto it for a hundred years. We could go back to that.
Tax the rich.
Which is kind of weird because most C# devs aren’t doing games.
You do have to turn off battery saver for the background process. Phones tend to not like background processes. That would cause the behavior you’re seeing.
Settings > Apps > App battery usage > Immich > Set to “unrestricted”
Also I have mine set to a ten minute delay, maybe that’s why I haven’t noticed. Maybe try adding a small delay to the load?
(Primarily I wanted a chance to delete photos before they uploaded.)
Immich is working pretty well for me. Even the search does a decent job of recognizing the things in the pictures.
I’m not sure what Google photos has that Immich doesn’t, and I’ve been using Google photos for years.
That’s what bitlocker is supposed to do. It’s kind of the whole point of bitlocker.
This is me, laughing at your comment as a bald eagle clutching an assault rifle flies over and shits simultaneously on my head and the idea of public transit.
I was in M2-XFE. That whole experience certainly taught a lot about the power of narrative and propaganda. And the later blockade showed what leadership failures look like.
We always had the advantage in that blockade, and could have stayed there for another year had the allies stuck together. Or we could have executed real plans to break them and end the war. Instead we did the worst of both.
