don't trust cloud services with creative work

Reminds me of when I had about 3 or 4 TB in my schools storage because hey free benefit
They removed the education free unlimited storage during my senior year and blocked access to my supposedly permanent school email because I didn't reduce my storage usage lol
I mean it's technically permanent as long as your organization continues paying for the license
Of course, they could downgrade your license or revoke it at any time. And they definitely will revoke it when you graduate (so they can reallocate the licensing costs to new students).
Your work/school accounts don't belong to you.

This is extra bad because they want you to use cloud files in gdrive (I can't remember what the feature is actually called), which doesn't save the content locally on your computer, but puts an icon that will download the content from Google servers when you click on it. This means you have no local backup of your data in your computer backups.

The thing is, we really don't know what's in the hardware, how do we know there isn't a "Intel ME" on your phone that is just hibernating, waiting for the right kill signal?
Sadly, could be explosives.

Am I too old? I only trust hard saving to offline storage. Be that an external hdd or a flash drive.
i use ms word to save certain things, offline, an older version of office not the new ms office that forces AI. i do that to save certain things, like resumes,,,etc.

Lemmy taught me that if you try to cancel, they'll offer you ms sans-ai. Save 3 whole bucks too.

Ah yes, the very first lesson I'd teach in my multimedia 'authoring' class: Back your shit up, here's 11 ways to do that; if you EVER tell me you lost your work as an excuse I'm going to LAUGH IN YOUR FACE as I assign you a ZERO.

Famously Americans did the splitting thing once before with Standard Oil and it was immensely beneficial to the economy in general. Just checked the wiki and it was more than 100 years ago. Unlikely the same laws are still on the books.
There are several companies currently active that deserve the same treatment.
Hey we did the same thing with AT&T! Split them into a bunch of smaller companies which then merged back together after a few years...shit...

Hard to take the photo of it, but I backed up your comment to a CD:

Is local storage even safe from big corp just remotely nuking your files? I'm sure there's a secret button somewhere to mass delete photos from people's phones incase they start rolling in the tanks to crush a protest.

Is your CPU open source? I bet you have a Intel ME or AMD PSP on your computer.

that's like one eighth of a whole-ass book, my friend. and after a year of writer's block that shit would hurt to lose.

TLDR: make multiple backups

Alright cool, probably takes a long time to do while also having a job and a family, but I'm just saying there were times in college where I wrote out 5k words in a day, formatted and typeset within a week.

I once wrote 5k words uphill both ways in the snow.
