I've got the old legacy edition - From memory I took it up to 97 and then panicked and moved things away so email wouldn't bounce. Will try again and leave it a little longer this time. Cheers!
Any idea what sort of margin ballpark we're looking at? With a combination of email and Google Photos I got up to around 97% used a year ago and just had to move older photos elsewhere - would be good to test again if an increase will be given.

There doesn't need to be a self-service mechanism, you just need to be able to ask. Skimming the privacy policy indicates you should be able to email `[email protected]` with your request.

1:59:27, no? Or even 1:59:26.5 if we want to get more precise!

Unfortunately there isn't a 31st April.
It's possible you may just have to enable TPM in bios. It's one of the install requirements.

There are already mods like ConsolePort which allow you to map abilities and actions to certain button combinations. Certainly not straight forward, but it's allowed for playing WoW on the steam deck, for instance.

I think you've added an extra 0 in there.

Seeing lots of errors on gcloud currently. Certainly an uptick here too: https://downdetector.co.uk/status/google-cloud/
Just to clarify, Sergei Skripal is still alive, the assassination failed but instead did kill an unrelated woman later named Dawn Sturgess.

I believe it's a reference to the phrase "The beatings will continue until morale improves" - https://english.stackexchange.com/questions/371325/origin-of...
Despite using 2FA and listing my number on my profile - albeit restricted to "just me", I don't appear in the data. It's not as simple as they just having a record of it somewhere.
I just wonder why nobody thought to Google her name between the 9th March (when "extra protections" were first put in place) and now.

Try giving https://i.reddit.com/ a try - it's an ancient ipod layout but it seems to do the basic stuff.
Re:Stopping phishing campaigns with Bash on Thursday August 13, 2020 @05:38AM (#24141511)
The end of a bash script or a line?

If it's at the end of the line it's just signifying that the line continues underneath and to run that block as "one line". It's just escaping the newline character.

Only anecdotal, I once tried to report a persistent XSS issue on the game "hub" pages. After weeks of going back and forth with support (this was before the likes of hackerone) the ticket was closed and the issue was ignored.

What were your issues with the Nokia? I've had mine sitting around for several months now with a broken charging port, a persistent smudge down the left side of the screen and it likes to restart when fast charging.

Other than that, it was a great budget phone. For now, I'm using the Motorola One Vision and have found it to be great for the price too.

> A Google community specialist mentioned that the tool scans folders related to Chrome only, but its scope is not exposed to the user in any way.

The title seems a bit of a leap.

Reply I've just received, can't fault them for responding to this so quick, even if the initial response was to say nothing could be done.

> We really appreciate your feedback, and we hear your frustration. We're sorry for the impact this is having on your ability to communicate with your team and on your overall productivity. We made a mistake by forcing everyone into this feature without providing an opt-out for customers like you: people for whom the existing behaviour was working just fine.

The BBC are reporting it was a run of the mill DDoS attack.
