Your LG monitor likely just read that comment and will bill you for the T-shirt immediately.

Aargghh, a prompt similar to this is going to make me an extremist that'll wage j**d on IT companies!

Google Photos wants you to turn on backups so you blow through your 15GB quota and buy storage from them, so once in a while when I open the app it screams "Back up is not turned on! You risk losing your photos!" (ok maybe not that hysterically).

Then the "Back up photos" slider is active, and I just have to hit "Continue". I'd have to slide it to off, and the button changes to "Continue without backup" and I have to hit it.

It's freaking disgusting that software companies now change your settings (ok, thankfully it still asks for your confirmation) and nag you about it every few weeks.

BTW Google, I have a Google Pixel 1 phone that has lifetime unlimited photos backup, and I intend on abusing that functionality by using automated transfers between my daily phone -> my NAS -> Pixel 1 -> your servers until you fuck me over and delete my account.

By definition, another "future I wanted" can only arrive "later" than now, so those two options actually kinda make sense. :P

Unlimited photo backups? Well how many qr codes can you store in JPEG because that screams free HDD back up with a little scripting.
