Driver of the day Oscar Piastri well deserved! Superb defense against Charles Leclerc!

I feel so bad for Checo. Losing the podium and the race at the last laps must be heartbreaking.

Offline storage of Spotify music plus some local music files, bloated messaging apps, and then the majority would be photos and videos. Having cloud storage like Google One and a NAS helps, but having local files is also good when signal isn't great.

I'm mistaken. Thanks for correcting! (Edit: looks like 256GB model is only limited to white and black, and the first color option on the Google store website is pink, which only has 128GB. Must be why I got mistaken. Thanks again!)

Not using iPhone, but it's also partly why I'm hesitant on switching to the Pixel 9 Pro. Base P9P is 128GB with option of 256, ~~and the regular P9 is 128GB only~~ (Edit: it has 256 also). It's criminal.

Every photocopy machine I've come across that accept USB sticks do not support exFAT, so what I would do with my USB stick is to split it into two partitions, one FAT32 and the rest exFAT.

A pair of Stardew Valley pendants from Etsy is probably more meaningful than diamond rings, tbh.

Megumin from KonoSuba. It's a hilarious show, I'd recommend giving it a watch.

Fair. I guess I never really needed to deal with that since I upload in original. That and Google Photos Takeout Helper made migrating easy for me.

Not entirely disagreeing with you but, what exactly is "malicious" about separating photo and metadata? It could be just how their servers process and stores those photos, with the added benefit of geotagging videos.

I use Google Photos and upload in original quality. When I download from takeout, the metadata is still in the original files. Iirc, only if you select upload in "high quality" where they compress it again, do you lose the metadata in the file stored in the cloud.

Should I also get the Below Zero bundle?

Asphalt used on road surfaces are byproducts from fossil fuel. With the ultimate goal of eliminating the use of fossil fuel to combat climate change, are there any good alternatives for road surfaces? I don't think I've ever heard of a viable replacement of asphalt in the works, or even a plan to replace it in any environmental discussions before. At least, not enough for me to notice.

Extented question would be: what are some products derived from fossil fuel that are used in everyday life, but still lack viable alternatives you don't see enough discussions about?

I'm considering setting up a NAS to backup my stuff and replace Google Photos. Currently I'm looking at Asustor AS6704T and Synology DS923+, with the former having more powerful hardware and hardware encoding, and the latter having a better first party software experience.

Some quick comparisons show me that Synology Photos is infinitely better than Asustor Photo Gallery. AI face recognition, content tagging, and reverse Geocoding are features I've gotten used to in Google photos, which Synology has and Asustor doesn't.
I'm also aware of but not really familiar with other photo backup/management solutions, namely Immich, Photoprism, Piwigo, and Lychee. Immich would probably fit me the best, but Piwigo with plugins would support Photosphere photos that I occasionally take with my Pixel.

So I guess I'm asking you guys what your preferred photo backup solution is? I probably should mention that I personally take photos with a Pixel (jpg and MP4 files), but my family uses iPhones (heic and mov files). No RAW photos for now, but for those who do and would edit photos, how would you manage them?
