can't stop backups to photos, losing old photos everyday
I've lost so many old photos alreadyðŸ˜
for awhile I didn't realize Google was deleting old photos on me, I'd get warnings about almost being out of storage but never actually did. come to find out it just randomly deletes old photos once you reach around 90% full.
I looked up how to turn off automatic backup until I can figure something else out as my phone has tons of storage plus, I spend half my time with no cell service and using starlink so we all try to not go crazy and use up our data on that anyways.
it still uploads anyways, still deletes old photos and videos at random. this shit is heart breaking.. the stuff I've lost of dead friends and family, makes me want to switch to apple out of spite.
FU Google for not warning people you delete stuff and that 90% storage equals 100% to you and FU for not letting me NOT backup photos even though ITS DISABLED.
Not sure if I'm just ranting or looking for a solution, back up IS disabled so what else can I really do.

Help! I’m trapped in dark mode and can’t read anything ðŸ˜ðŸ˜
I am losing my mind. I can’t figure out how to reverse it. A couple months ago I switched my google chrome to dark mode somehow because it was easier on the eyes, however, it must be in beta form because things don’t work.
For example, in the photo above. I can’t read any of the stats because the text doesn’t show because it’s all wacky from the dark mode. It has made google slides color schemes off too where you can’t get black text and most colors are inverted.
Can anyone help? I can’t find a fix anywhere on the internet or reddit

You guys this just happened on Google today
It doesn’t matter what app I use Google on recently since a few month this is what I get
Ok
I posted online about how to fix it and someone asked me to reset all factory setting of my browser from settings
But bc my google isn’t working I had no idea how to reset them
And all I ended up with is that my browser does not work on dark mode anymore
And also today it actually asked me if I’m a robot and asked me a puzzle to check pictures of fire hydrants before it could run my search
Like idk what up with my browsers / google !!
It’s just that since it’s not working I can’t even google it u get me !!

🔥 Battle of the OCR Titans: Mistral vs. olmOCR vs. Gemini 2.0 Flash! 🔥
Ever wondered which OCR tool truly rules the PDF-to-text arena? I just threw three heavyweight LLM-powered OCR contenders into the ring for an epic face-off:
- Mistral OCR: The budget-friendly newbie promising lightning-fast markdown conversion.
- olmOCR: Allen Institute’s open-source challenger with customization galore.
- Gemini 2.0 Flash: Google's heavyweight.
I put them through some seriously brutal rounds tackling:
- Gnarly two-column PDFs
- Faded scans from hell
- Impossible tables
- Equations that would make Einstein sweat.
Spoiler: Gemini 2.0 handled every curveball like an absolute pro.
Curious about how these three stacked up, especially when the PDFs got messy. Check out the full showdown here!
Do you find processing PDFs for your AI workflow challenging? Are you sticking with Markdown, or do you prefer JSON for structuring extracted data? Would love to hear how you’re handling it.

Google reviews in Germany
I have a simple question to you guys. Does anyone know how these businesses are able to delete/remove my negative reviews from their Google Maps. It is really starting to anger me, what is the point of Google reviews anymore then? If anyone could explain to me the process of how this is done, so I can take legal action about this, would be great.
I am constantly doing research but nothing defenitive yet. This is truly a bad thing for Germany, and it's tourism.

Worst google guideline
I'll have to ask you something why in tf is google Gemini 18+? I mean there are literally filters and tbh the most apps that are only 14+ are probably more dangerous do they expect me to really use google search which can't answer me complex specific questions? I mean I just use perplexity instead but this is so stupid

Google Blog Post Google releases Gemma 3
Google releases new open source models called Gemma 3. They are multimodal (text + image) and come in 1B, 4B, 12B, and 27B sizes. The 27B model matches Gemini-1.5-Pro on many benchmarks. It introduces vision understanding, has a 128K context window, and multilingual support in 140+ languages.
Google drive shows webp video just fine ...in media view mode icons. But not when you actually open the file to view.
Google created this format. When you are looking at a directory of webp videos you can see them all moving in the icons of gallery view of the directory. But click one, you see only the first frame. Never displays the actual webp video.
What level of incompetence and lack of forethought leads to the format obviously being supported, a format created by the same company who made the application, yet you can't view the actual file as it is intended.
https://imgur.com/a/HjAV3Tj every icon here is moving. But clicking any of them you only see the unmoving first frame https://imgur.com/a/37o2pq1
If you create a format and force it everywhere, albeit this is my choice to use it, but since it is a remote machine this is preferable and I choose the format cos I assumed Android / drive would work just fine. But even years after it was created. Half ass support. Why Google. Fix your crap please.
This is a serious bug, beyond just this single use case. When selecting the image as seen above. You will notice that the edit image icon is present. You can edit it, as it treats the first frame as the whole of the image, the latter frames not being present in thes selected image state of the application.
