How much money do this companies plan to extort from restaurants, who will try to pass it to customers, to pay such a big chunk of money?

Unless I am mis remembering, it generated about 200 or more ZIP files that you have to download one by one.

When my son was a toddler, he had something weird on his mouth, I couldn't tell for sure, but something was not right. No pediatrician, no dentist will say anything, untill I started pushing. It turns out his lower jaw was protrudding over his upper jaw (sorry for my english). So they made him wear braces. Had I not pushed, he would have had a more serious problem today.

At least on iOS, if I am not mistaken, you can only run the Safari Engine. Even if you run Firefox or Chrome, it is running Safari under the hood. That is what I understand. Please, correctme if I am wrong.

Yes! What the consumer needs! Less competition! Hurrah!

Sorry for the sarcasm.

I might be biased toward ThinkPads, but the only thing I envy about MacBooks is the processor and battery life.

I prefer the X1 Carbon’s body a thousand times over Apple’s unibody design, which I find cold and uncomfortable, and it tends to dig into my wrists.

And I’d take a TrackPoint over Apple’s trackpad a million times over.

Of course, that’s just my personal preference.

The problem with google takeout is that it generates hundred of files to download as ZIP. I tried it in my own collection (800GB).

I don't get why that is not the default.

is that new? I migrated at the time from GA to Authy and from Authy to Ente because it was not supported.

That is nothing, less than 10%.

Ther are countries that get it at 100% or even 200% more.

I was a Lotus Notes developer for more than 10 years. The speed at which you could develop useful software was mind-blowing. I started with Notes 4.5, IIRC, and ended my time around Notes 8.

The first few years were a little heavy on RAM usage, so people thought it was slow. To give you some context, this was back when 16 MB (megabytes, not gigabytes) of RAM was a thing. But as RAM increased, Notes was no longer a problem.

For example, Lotus Notes 8, which I still have on my personal PC, uses about 11 MB just after starting. Then it adds roughly 10 MB for each "app" you open. Today, Outlook alone uses around 170 MB just after starting.

It was incredibly powerful. And migrating a Domino server was incredibly easy. Basically, you just copied the DATA folder. I remember doing this when we migrated from Windows 2000/2003 to AIX.

In the same way, the Notes client was basically a portable app. You could just copy the NOTES and DATA folder, edit notes.ini, and have it running.

So sad to see it go.
