Google Bard has interesting information when asked what happens to my data if a plan is restructured and my existing data exceeds the new plan's allowance. It seems the answer is "it depends".

I was curious what the context of "grace period" is for Google Drive and found this:

https://support.google.com/drive/thread/13321050/what-will-h...

"If I cancel my additional storage, will all the files/documents that took up the additional space, be deleted? Or will I still have access to them?"

"You will still have access to all your files but, if you have used all storage you won't be able to add or create NEW files until you have space available."

Which sounds like you're right, unless the Product Expert was wrong.

I'm no great defender of Google but point some fallacies the article pushes:

"regarding a woman losing her entire Google account after one of her 7 year old sons, messing around with a camera and uploading the videos to YouTube, published a video of himself naked. For obvious reasons, that’s a problem"

  If a 7 year old found a parent's gun, walked into the street and shot a neighbor to death accidentally; the parent is also still responsible and accountable.

"he had obtained and published some leaked video footage from Fox News." and "he was able to access the footage by using publicly accessible URLs to obtain the content."

  "As a general rule, it is wise to operate under the assumption that all works are protected by either copyright or trademark law unless conclusive information indicates otherwise. A work is not in the public domain simply because it has been posted on the Internet (a popular fallacy) or because it lacks a copyright notice (another myth). For information on these and other public domain issues, see the section, “The Public Domain.”"

I'm in my early 60's, I guess when I was young I'd have called me elderly. I however, have been a technologist since I was around 9 years old, got it from my Dad. I'd say most my age even if not into technology aren't averse to it or unaware of it. But, there are definitely some elderly who really don't get technology at all and there are some in their 20's who are the same way. Those individuals need to be protected. The onus should be on the corporation more than the individual; not solely on the individual.

I'd be worried if there's an increased risk of mold growth.

I said nothing about a firewall. I use firewalls everywhere. I use NAT. What I don't use is IPv6.

Trolling? No. NAT breaks something? No. IPv6 breaks privacy at a minimum and probably opens our devices to security issues. IPv6 is what's broken.

Microsoft and Google together are trying to control the largest spectrum of computer usage globally.

I don't use Tailscale, I use my own VPS and Wireguard but no way in my lifetime will I allow IPv6 to have any prevalence on any of my systems.

NAT is great. I can think of no problems caused by NAT. I can immediately think of my experiences with IPv6 and all loss of privacy.

Pretty cool, it printed a list of over 8000 on my machine (Ubuntu, well Kubuntu now) and then proceeded to speak the voices after printing them all.

Why don't we understand the brain?
