The killed by google site should now include every item put into the google drive trash.

This is the last straw for me. I use the Trash feature to hold my most valuable files. If it's safely stored in the trash, I can't accidentally delete it, right?

Looking for recommendations for non-Google trashcans that provide strong guarantees of durability...

Have you considered a manual workaround? Print the docs and put them in a trash can at home or work. This gives you offline access, even without power.

The whole point of cloud storage is so I can access the same trashcan from work, from home, or when I'm on the go.

Are you seriously suggesting that when I'm at the coffee shop, I use their trashcan for this purpose?

I miss “Don’t Be Evil.”

I'm been pre-MVP:ing a portable trashcan-like device you can carry on your back, in your hand or even slug across your upper body for just this usecase. Currently I'm seeking investment in a pre-seed round to recruit the UX-specialists, digital marketers and growth hackers to set up the sign-up MVP website to get this into a seed round.

The product is considered to be a sort of cloth receptacle with 1-3 handles or "straps" as we've com to call them, that can be used with almost any human protrusion, but the final product might change. We are also thinking about a zero-strap version that we just call "the unStrap".

Of course it will be cloud-native, k8s-native and almost virtually-sustainable. I have my C-CTO working on the multi-native strategy right now.

I think you are missing some opportunity for ML to identify the ideal strap count for each individual user.

We are running a AI/ML/HAL/Watson stack on Oracle Clouds to empower our evangelists and enthusiasts to make that choice for themselves before they know they have made it.

Pre-decision-decision is one of 3 to 15 things we have have identified that we will consider caring strongly about in the near future.

Thank you for your feedback, and would you mind filling in a short customer service form here: http://oracle.dev-enterprise.tech.ai/customer/"backpack"-sta... ((copy) copy 2).pdf?

It really helps us to know something (I think somebody said it was NPS or CRO or something called "W/E")

Who said it had to be the same trashcan? You should pay for a service that syncs the contents of the trashcan, so you can reach into the nearest one to have all your files ready for you.

I meant you can’t delete it anymore because I responded to it, but why not just actually delete the comment?

I forgot that that was a think I could do; sorry about that!
