What you're suggesting could get OP in trouble if caught. Not sure it's worth it, but then again I'm not that into cars.

That's why teams behind those extensions sometimes build a cloud for you.

Sounds like we need to change the law to make privacy absolute, which of course will prevent legitimate crime investigations. We can't have it both ways here.

E2E apps and fully encrypted phones prevent the police from executing legitimate search warrants. This has never been the case with traditional communication mechanisms, e.g. phones, mail.

I agree that privacy is important, but it's not absolute, by law. So what we're saying is E2E apps are more important than current law we have, and we want to invalidate the ability of the police to investigate crime.

How can that make sense?

Thank you for posting and reminding us that multiple 2FA methods are a good backup plan with Google.

I just added:

- SMS - Authenticator app (Authy, of course) - Generated backup codes

That in addition to my Pixel 4, and maybe 3-4 authorized devices (laptop, ubuntu desktop, windows desktop), I feel a bit better about this.

Sorry for your trouble though, I hope you figure it out.

Tech eats the world. When tech goes down, its competitors go bankrupt.

Underwater welders make a lot. It's risky work, but you get to do pro level diving (the risky part) and welding metal at something like 3000 degrees...while under water.

Might also make you explore diving more which is a ...whole other world.

Good luck and take care.

RDS just has a button for multi-AZ primaries. No complexity or microservices.

A multi-az deployment is a checkbox in most AWS services, e.g. ASGs, RDS, load balancers, etc. Someone didn't check that box because they didn't know about it, there isn't much complexity in it.

These solutions don't answer any of the fundamental problems with Google:

- who pays for the service (ads? users pay? Average user will never use a paid service if a free one is available)

- how to resist attacks against the algorithm (Google has been fighting spam for decades)

- how to personalize without invading privacy, e.g. Google had an option to search through your email in Google search...it's gone now, I wonder why?
