Any idea how I can find this ~1GB of ghost file on GDrive?
  • Google One gives you an itemized look at what is using your storage space. All of the Google Apps are represented, device backups, and individual apps that are using Drive for storage too. I'd presume it would point you in the right direction, without needing to manually download everything and sift through.

  • I compared Google and Samsung’s AI photo-editing tools. It’s not even close.
  • TL;DR: Samsung is better, according to the author.

    Some questions remain though, as Google's Magic Eraser gives multiple options for object removal. Some are quite bad or blotchy, others are nearly seamless. Don't like any of the options it's provided, then ask it to try again. The author doesn't touch on this at all. Did they select the first option everytime? Was this the best of the options they were provided?

  • On a huge election year for the world, Meta will shut down CrowdTangle, it's tool for election integrity observers without replacement
  • This a huge step back for transparency with Meta (shocker). Access to this data is important for a variety of reasons, and using the recent EU laws as an excuse is deplorable (again, shocker from Meta).

    It's clear the data companies were left alone for too long to rule the schoolyard. It's going to take some time to treat them and others what decorum looks like without throwing an absolute hissy fit.

    Here's hoping the EU, which seems to be the only teacher on the playground willing to discipline anyone, will set them straight.

  • How to disable chromecast enabled devices from showing on media streams?
  • This should be a setting under "Cast Options" in Google Play Services options. At least that's where that generic notification is on my Pixel.

    Won't affect your "direct" casting, like Spotify, just the generic broadcast, without turning off the per device options.

    I've turned off the broadcast on every device in my world, because I found it obnoxious.

  • AMD's new mobile CPU might be just what Steam Deck 2 needs to keep up with increasingly fierce competition
  • This article is real clickbait.

    7%. That's the gains on AMDs new APU. You're going from 48 to 51 FPS.

    What's impressive to me is how efficient Valve and AMD got the custom APU that it's taken this long to catch up. The next generational leap will be worth it, but talk to me when we're looking at 25-50% gains. Then you'll be looking at having a real upgrade cycle.

    The secret sauce is in the whole package. SteamOS, the controls, and the form factor.

  • Plex announces a new primary metadata source for images which "should improve the quality of the posters we use, especially for lesser known titles in our metadata catalog."
  • The posterdb was never an automatic source for Plex. They pull from thetvdb/themoviedb. Sometimes there is overlap if someone has uploaded their posters to those sources, but often not.

    You have to manually add the posters from the posterdb via link or uploading it to Plex yourself.

    Why do some TV broadcasts show a person translating it to sign language instead of using subtitles?
  • I think you may be confused as to who you're responding to. I'm reading some outrage in your response that is directed towards others and their statements, nothing that I've written or believe.

    There's no argument to be made. A (good) translator into another language with take into account the intent of the original language and translate it into a comparative version. That can mean changing stories, or idioms that no longer land in the new language.

    I'm not the person who made any claim about reading speeds, and I would disagree wholeheartedly with that baseless statement.

    In a surprising move, Apple has announced today that it will adopt the RCS (Rich Communication Services) messaging standard. The feature will launch via a software update “later next year” and bring a wide range of iMessage-style features to messaging between iPhone and Android users.

    Apple’s decision comes amid pressure from regulators and competitors like Google and Samsung. It also comes as RCS has continued to develop and become a more mature platform than it once was.

    www.ctvnews.ca Debt among Canadian millennials at record levels, while earnings haven’t kept up: RBC report

    Canadian millennials are more likely to face the brunt of a wavering labour market as most face mounting debt with an income that fails to keep up with inflation, according to a report from RBC Economics.

    Debt among Canadian millennials at record levels, while earnings haven’t kept up: RBC report

    Canadian millennials are more likely to face the brunt of a wavering labour market as most face mounting debt with an income that fails to keep up with inflation, according to a report from RBC Economics.

    The report released on Wednesday said Canadian millennials are more vulnerable to serious financial burdens if job losses continue to rise in their age bracket. July marked the third consecutive month Canada’s overall unemployment rate has increased; the rate stood at 5.2 per cent in May before it rose to 5.5 per cent in July, according to Statistic Canada.

    The data, based on changing average mortgage rates between January 2019 and January 2023, found older millennials between the ages of 35 and 44 had an average debt-to-income ratio of 250 per cent in 2019. Approximately half of what Canadians in the same age group reported having in 1999 reported, which was 150 per cent.

    Younger millennials are also reporting above that nearly 25-year statistic, as their debt-to-income ratio is at 165 per cent.

    Additionally, millennials who own a home are likely to see a 25 per cent increase in monthly mortgage payments by 2024 amid interest rate hikes, significantly affecting millennials who’s earnings haven’t kept up with the pace of their increasing debt. Since the start of the pandemic, hourly wages have grown by 12 per cent, the report says, which is less than half of the average five-year fixed mortgage payment.

    In turn, boomers, who account for those aged 65 and older, are less vulnerable to interest rate hikes since the majority no longer have mortgage debt. As for the 14 per cent that still do, the average balance is half the size of a millennial mortgage.

    As millennials continue to struggle post-pandemic with the rising cost of living and housing crisis, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau extended a message to younger Canadians during his cabinet retreat.

    "To young Canadians, I want to say something: You've had two crucial years of adulthood dramatically interrupted by COVID, and then you were hit by global inflation and increased interest rates,” Trudeau said to reporters on Wednesday.

    "We owe it to you to take action, so you can fully benefit from the promise of Canada,” he continued.

    Housing affordability was among the core topics discussed during the three-day retreat in Charlottetown, P.E.I.. However, the prime minister did not announce any new plans to tackle the housing crisis on Wednesday.

    According to Statistics Canada, the average debt including mortgage debt, credit cards and student loans among other debts, for Canadians between the ages of 35 to 44 was $105,100 and $69,500 for those under 35.
