I use google photos for access, not backup. So, I can not only access all my photos from anywhere, I can also take advantage of their ML driven search. I'm not entirely happy with the UX of Google Photo's but it's 1000x bette

I don't know if it's still true but a friend of mine married a German woman and we were a little surprised she had never seen "The Sound of Music" and she said, of course, it's banned.

I not sure I understand. I recently signed up for apartments.com to pay my rent which way more than $500. Where does a bank officer fit into this? Are you saying the millions of transactions go through these services are all hand checked an

This doesn't really answer the question though. People steal things all the time. The easier it is to steal the more they do it. Bikes, breaking into cars, purses, etc... We have passwords and two factor to prevent this stuff for lots

I don't feel all that different on Mac. When I get a new one the dock is covered in crap I don't care about. I use zero of the apple apps except maybe Music to play mp3 so I have to spend a bunch of time removing them from the doc
