Southland Corporation changed the stores' name to 7-Eleven in 1946 to reflect their expanded hours of operation (7 a.m. to 11 p.m.).

Google quietly changes privacy policy so your Gmail and Photos could be used in targeted ads - Dexerto
Reminder that Immich has basically all the features of Google Photos and more, and you can migrate fairly easily by doing a Google Takeout.

Just looked and yeah, not far off when you buy new. An old PC with a couple of hard drives can do the trick, but obviously it's more work to set up.
The used and refurb market is your friend.
For large capacity refurb enterprise-grade drives, I recommend serverpartdeals
I've had some good 16TB drives from there for a good few years and still kicking. They can be a little loud though. You can get 10TB drives for maybe €250.
A Synology 4-bay NAS can be bought second hand from eBay for about €200-€300. They aren't very powerful but might be fine for Immich and pretty easy to use. Many come with some hard drives you can pawn off or get started with using a RAID config that means if one or two die you are fine. If the drives are second hand (not pro refurb) though do not pay more than 30% of retail price because who knows how long they will last.
Photos don't take up that much space. Even 100 000 photos tends to take up less than 500GB. Video is much heavier, so if you're a videographer you may struggle without reencoding.

Online safety laws have failed to protect children in UK, Ofcom admits
Reply in thread
I grew up in a house that had parental filters turned on at the ISP level. They already exist for both ISPs and mobile carriers. They block VPN websites, but not their endpoints.
Turning them on by default might be a good idea, as most parents don't have a clue how to access their router's menu, but determined children will find their way around them, as I did.

Liberal Democrat party boycotts Greens for calling Zionism racism.
Our party adopted the IHRA definition of antisemitism
This whole letter is stupid and childish, but this is the most damning part of this whole thing. What credibility does a party that accepts a definition of antisemitism that prohibits criticism of the Israeli state have?
All it does is establish them as bootlickers of a genocidal state.
I have a Lib Dem MP who's really pretty good and pretty nice, but I've had to write to her about this. This is not acceptable.

There’s a lot of racism, a lot of hatred’: Far right gains predicted as Israel heads to the polls
So basically, it sounds to me like we have a country so far gone that genocide seems like the right thing to do, and children are growing up indoctrinated to believe this.
The centrist "keep things as they are and don't genocide" party (which doesn't even advocate for a 2 state solution) is viewed as a fringe left wing group, and are attacked frequently with no protection from the state.
Sounds a lot like Nazi Germany and Hitlers Youth to me. Unlike that, it may have a semblance of democracy, but the voter base is so far gone that it pretty much cannot be saved from the inside.

Accenture Just Capped Employees’ Claude Spending at $29 a Month. Some Were Spending $1,000
In my company some of the top users spend over $3000/m. $29 is maybe 30 mins - 1 hour continuous running for a *medium" sized model like Sonnet. Not sure about cheaper models.

Reply in thread
Well, maybe if he had been deported right after the crime (which wasn't violent, it was a planned robbery). That's the strongest argument you could make, to not punish him here but instead deport him. But he wasn't, he served his time in the country he committed the crime (pretty standard I think) so now there is no reason to deport him.
What would it help to deport him? Wouldn't help him, he doesn't have any family where he was born. Wouldn't help the state, or anybody in the UK.
The current state of things is also ridiculous. He can't work, he has to waste government money and time checking in every two weeks. Travel which he has to pay out of pocket even though he has no job, god forbid he can't pay one day and is arrested. For 14 years this waste of time has happened.
