@larsen161 said in Why big ISPs aren’t happy about Google’s plans for encrypted DNS: The ISPs are still going to get pretty darn close knowing the IPs of all the traffic. They don't need DNS to track user activities. It's just a lot easier if they do. I'm actually leaning on the side of not caring for home use. It's not like I ever visit any domains or have IP traffic to/from places that could be used against me in any way. So really, I don't care if the places I do go to are used for monetary gain for the ISP or for AD serving. I block ads anyways, so really, neither part effects me. However, I do have a problem with it for enterprise, because they may likely have traffic that can be either used against them, whether sold, used for competitive advantages, source leaks, etc, lots of possibilities and reasons to be concerned from a business perspective... But IMO, at least for me, not a personal perspective. For any adhoc needs, there is always secure dns and VPN. That all said, even though I don't care, I'd still prefer the ISP is totally out of the loop and am for encrypted DNS.

@JaredBusch said in Google Fi: @Dashrender said in Google Fi: While I'm sure T-Mobile is working on it.. when I tested T 2 years ago in Nebraska... only the major arteries of the city had access, and horrible access at that. I technically live outside the city limits by less than 1/4 mile, but other than AT&T, all other carriers service sucks at best and generally don't work. While true, at least with TMobile you have excellent WiFi calling at home. Or in offices that are often shielded.

@JasGot said in ChromeBook Tablet with LTE?: So I started looking for information on an Android tablet could be re-initialized with the Chrome OS at a later date. Not much on that topic out there... Different hardware, unlikely to be happy trying to do that.

In CPAP news, my new headgear should arrive in NY a few days before my flight to Athens.

@hobbit666 said in SAMIT on Huawei vs Google: One thing I don't get yet is my have Xiaomi, Umidigi and other manufactures from that side of the world not been effect by all this stuff with the US? My thoughts would be if the government have been asking Huawei to but spying/data harvesting stuff in gear wouldn't they be asking all manufacturers? If they go after "all" it would over expose the falseness of the whole thing.

so I spoke to a very nice rep at Blissfully named Daniel . Great guy! I am not sure if they are a direct comparison to BetterCloud. but I will say that they are at least responsive. BetterCloud seems to not want any business as they dont pick up the phone and no responses since Tuesday to emails.

@CCWTech said in Restoring Google Drive Folders Instead of Individual Files: Unfortunately what they did ended up orphaning the files. https://support.google.com/a/answer/6008339?hl=en Ouch

@gjacobse said in Google Family Link: Control Chromebook: They likely won't use Youtube or Youtube Kids... They already watch that on iPads and a laptop.. so they truely don't need yet another device to YT on .. They also don't need Netflix - again.. on other devices and we want to be able to control some of what they get to. Besides controlling what they can download from Google Play store, I would just worry about blocking websites. Either stick with blocking mature sites or only allow certain sites.

The engine may end up being an "Enterprise Mode" like IE I think? Edge as a browser works well but with a few show stoppers that killed any further usage for us: 1: Downloads mysteriously won't start or just plain stop for no reason. 2: Edge ate my favourites way too many times. The containerized Edge, Application Guard I think(?), is a great idea. If Edge was as good as they had hoped it would provide a fantastic sandbox experience to protect users from drive-by attacks and bad GET commands from e-mail clients. At least we are not getting stuck with the legacy ActiveX that keeps rearing its head every once in a while because of IE.

@scottalanmiller said in Another Major BGP Mishaps Redirects US Traffic to China: I noticed that YouTube was down yesterday for a little bit. Very short, though. Even Facebook got taken out for a bit too... Don't know if it's related or not, but still...

So chrome is finally starting to catch up with the level of ad blocking I've had for years.

@irj said in Sentio, an Android Laptop Dock: I kinda like the idea, but I hate the way they mount the phone. It looks really cheesy. But for $129 i think it's a not a bad price It was $150 when I looked, which seems awful given the $179 price of a great Chromebook.

@doug said in ScreenConnect for ChromeOS: @scottalanmiller said in ScreenConnect for ChromeOS: Google Management Console Are you referring to https://chrome.google.com/remotedesktop ? No, that's just a desktop remoting system. We're talking about a management platform. More like MDM. Not remote assistance.

I got an old junker laptop I was going to play with CloudReady on: https://www.neverware.com/freedownload But I'm thinking instead I'll come to the dark side and try Fedora 27 on it

Sadly, Zimbra is an exception.

@wls-itguy said in The First ChromeOS Tablet Is Out: @penguinwrangler said in The First ChromeOS Tablet Is Out: We need a post that lays out all the reasons why Lenovo is bad. Then we can just link to it. It comes up all the time it seems like. There is a link to Travis' blog post but his site was down. https://travisdh1.net/lenovo Yeah, I got caught in the fun domain renewal and switch dance, gr.

And you wonder why people have to sign an NDA to even interview at Google. We've long known that Google was a terrible environment to work in, they've become famous for questionable practices and having to keep every aspect of their company secret to continue to attract out of touch college students who don't realize that career pariah that Google is.

What you may need to do is log in to the Calendar's web interface on Google... then go to Settings. Then click on the Calendar you need to sync... and then scroll to the bottom and get the "Secret Adddress in iCal format" Then Link that one in iCal on the Mac... I think you add it by URL... But that should give you 2 way Syncing, not a one time import.
