The first metro line in Thessaloniki, Greece, planned to open next month, started construction 20 years ago. It took so long because (among other things) they kept bumping onto archeological sites. They have uncovered 130000 archeological finds so far.
AWS and GCP are giving companies like Apple huge discounts so someone could say something like, "Even Apple iCloud is in AWS and GCP because of how economical it is"
There is too much nuance to say one is better than the other. In some cases using a IaaS is more economical, in other cases it's not.
For Apple, the same is also true[0] to say "Even Apple is running their own datacenters because of how economical it is"
You know everyone gets those discounts right? Like that's why the cloud is so much more economical than a datacenter, once you are at scale AWS will give you MASSIVE (I'm talking 30-60% discounts) on compute and other compute-adjacent resources, and I've seen 99% discounts on bandwidth with multi year agreements too.
I think that's where the disconnect is, a lot of people don't actually realize how cheap cloud compute is because they're only seeing the price for like... 20-30 servers and some basic S3 or load balancer usage. There are entire departments at Amazon that run those numbers on a daily basis to make sure AWS is always competitive with building your own datacenter.
As someone that only uses YTTV to watch sportss, pecifically NFL Redzone, F1, and baseball/basketball playoffs, I really enjoy YTTV interface because it always knows what I'm going to YTTV for. Very rarely do I need to click more than 2 buttons to get to the thing I'm trying to watch
Fun fact, the home page shows a few places, these are called Ducks in architecture [0]. When I found out about Ducks, I've been pretty obsessed about them, and call them out anytime I see one. My favorite one that I found was a tooth at Mexico City Dentist [1]
Not really the same, cool none the less. A duck is a building built in the shape related to the business they are in. If the ships were their offices, then it would be a duck.
I've tried a lot the password safes/vaults, and none of them work nearly as well as Chrome/Googles password manager
You can even use it on iOS, and even use it by default. Even apples Keychain password manager works pretty well if you're all in on apple ecosystem. Only reason I see why you would not use it is if you're not using Chrome or Safari, which is most people.
The risk there is more you accidentally make a bad comment on YouTube and Google bans your account, I think. I have no idea if I'd still be able to access my passwords if that happens. At least, personally I feel Google deciding to disallow me from logging in is more likely than Google losing my passwords.
Is there a local UI to view/export your passwords? The only one I'm aware of is https://passwords.google.com but it's been a long time since I've used a builtin browser password manager.
also- does Google (or other browser devs) release information on how they keep your passwords secure? Is it even E2EE?
I think there are two options in Chrome's password manager. One is to decrypt with the computer's password. The other is to use your Google account authentication for decryption.
After years (a decade+?) of holding out on password managers I finally gave bitwarden a shot (based on recommendations here), and was able to import ~900 logins from google chrome.
Their UI in the chrome extension (brave browser actually) for changing/editing logins could use a little work, but overall I'm pretty happy with it. I even bit the bullet and now have passwords I don't actually know involved in everyday life. Irritatingly, uploading a video from GeForce's live capture to youtube - despite logging in with 2fa - caused a security freakout at google and now I was forced to change my gmail password.
But I digress, bitwarden even integrates with iOS's login management as another option to Apple's, though irritatingly not on OS X.
Yes, I got on the trusted riders list. I usually only use ride shares to go to the airport, and sadly it doesn't go there yet, so I've only used it a few times
