I’ve just started hiding penises in my work. Your move AI.

Yeah thank the heavens the deal was squashed. It was a bold move even for Adobe.

Building a NAS in this day and age is trivial. Hard drive space is cheaper and far more economical than paying $20 a month for a service. The way prices are going it’s going to soon hit parity with car payments.

I had an old PC from 2012 with an i3 dual core in it. Ran a headless Linux server. Raided the 2 3TB drives. Done. It was replaced by a 4 TB SSD and since those have nowhere near the failure rates of HDDs, one and one. It servers files off my main computer which is a beefy Mac.

Enabled file sharing. Opened the port on my firewall. Done. It’s one of the easiest services to offload to a homebuilt rig.

Not feasible in a work environment. Photopea works just fine if you simply need CS6 level Ps. Just need a browser.

They are considered malware at this point. The telemetry they collect the fact that your machine has to run a slew of daemons and that they are binding it all behind your mandatory Adobe account that has all your financial details, kinda shows how users rights are in the dark ages digitally speaking.

Ya no argument there. Adobe is way out of bounds. We have largely moved to Figma but that was like pulling teeth as every was using Ps and Ai when I joined. Ai for wireframes had me tossing at night not gonna lie!

The PSDs it spits out lose a lot of editing capabilities and have limited functionality. TIFF is destructive our clients would shit if we gave them tiffs.

Hi, please to meet you. Can I get you anything, coffee, danish? No? Ok, please have a seat. Let me just say, based on your resume, you seem very qualified for the position. So let’s just get the standard questions out of the way. As an Optimus humanoid, what kind of value do you see bringing our company?

You also shouldn’t use them as a safe way to store things. They routinely delete shit or bake your data and point to their EULA like sorry buddy, no guarantees. Your stuff is not safe there at all.

Far better to store locally and just create a way to share it or access it from your home network.

Lemme guess, he doesn’t agree with Adobe like the rest of the internet?

Yeah he got so much publicity with his little NY shop hating on Apple. Which is amusing because those people Apple turned away were what made him. Not citing with Apple but I’ve never trusted this dude. Most of his “pioneering” in freedoms and rights all serve his own interests and he’s always grandstanding to bolster his popularity.

He also repeats himself a lot. A lot. Keeps repeating himself which is why his videos are 2h. Because he just keeps repeating himself. A lot.

No. They check validation constantly with their daemon and while you can technically loop it back using hacks, no studio is doing that.

And your clients are ok getting these files? Speaking for the studios I’ve worked out, our clients wouldn’t stick around if we didn’t give them industry standard files (psds, etc.).

What upsets me the most is everyone let me build a monopoly that has been strangleholding the design industry for like 2 decades.

Even Denmark couldn’t handle the heat! Can you?!

They run by the same people bro. Please please please tell me you are trolling right now. Please. They all answer to the CEO of Sony in Japan. I can’t even right now with this stupid. Sony is trash. Every part of the world. Every product and service.

You honestly sound like Sony lawyers in the case against GeoHot. They literally tried the same shit in court lol: https://www.vg247.com/sony-accused-of-material-misrepresentation-in-geohot-case

LOL. Yes because Sony somehow would t employ the same douchery with phones as they do with their other platforms and services.

Sorry Sony, not buying your snake oil lol.

Isn’t Sony far worse than Google in locking you into their platform and basically stealing your data? They gutted Helldivers and thru all their players under the bus by adding a PSN account requirement retroactively, even in countries that didn’t have the service. They only backpedaled because of the massive negative backlash. They have a history of installing root kits and treating their customers like absolute trash. And you want to go with them?? Yikes.

You are way better off getting a Pixel and then liberating it with Graphene.

Just shuddered at a possible future where someone’s PC locked up with the following notice:

“We have locked your PC because you no longer have sufficient MS funds. One of our technicians will be by shortly to retrieve it. Sit tight, we are downloading its contents. Turning off the internet during this time will lead to strict legal action against you. Thank you for using Microsoft! Be sure to check out the new Surface Ultra and sign up to receive free rewards such a Panago and Ivey Cream!”

Useless without actually showing what data was used to make this. Also, what does “number of antidepressants” mean exactly? Is the amount someone consumes, or the different brands they take?
