After Oreo the most recent photo on my camera doesn't show up when I select it from the bottom right of the camera app. So that's nice. But it should be backed up to the cloud in *status animation still going on for the last half hour*

the best (worst) is when you click a link in the gmail ios app, and it pops up the android "which app would you like to use to browse? CHROME or safari" when you don't have chrome installed

lmao g-suite is just absolute loving trash. google's own data migration tool can't even reliably move mail from gmail accounts, support just shrugs, offers a random setting change and closes the ticket. of course their trash fire of an imap implementation also chokes if you attempt to push more than a few hundred messages from a client, so there's no manual migration either.

my favorite google feature is how it only lets you set your home and work address for google maps directions if you give them permission to save your location history if you enable location history for a minute, set your addresses and disable it they dont delete them (still visible in the gui) but you cant use them in your searches because gently caress you for trying to keep a modicum of privacy

Matt Zerella posted:pay the 8 bucks for migrationwiz. that's your only option that won't make you rip your hair out. oh no, it's cool, a second level tech actually called me* and gave me a ridiculously complicated process to enable "g suite migration for microsoft exchange", which as the name implies migrates mail from gmail to g suite. but you have to run a local client to do it, but everything is transferred server to server. it does work though, it will take approximately 26 hours to transfer 28k messages (~4GB). i have no idea what kind of rear end in a top hat designed any of this poo poo, but i'll bet they make the BOFH look cuddly *and confirmed that no, the migration tool just doesn't work, a lot of the time, they don't know why. infernal machines fucked around with this message at 10:11 on Nov 26, 2017 |

I was signing up for gsuite or whatever to put my mail behind a custom domain, but got sidetracked and didn't finish. when i came back, i tried putting in the same account name and it said something like "user already exists" which was weird because i never signed up! i used a different username and signed up because i figured i could just delete the other one i couldnt i could see it in a batch printout of all users in my account, but i had no way of deleting it. i ended up deleting my account after like 3 days when it hadn't fixed itself. i'd rather not go into the google customer support purgatory

I’m not a computer janitor but I signed up for gsuite once for a little side project with like 4 other people. just administering that was painful enough, I can’t imagine how bad it would be to actually have a large number of users.

also being part of this kind of project is almost totally necessary in order to get promoted technically the requirement is to demonstrate that you can do technical design by building a portfolio of design documents but obviously there are a lot more opportunities to write those when you're doing something from scratch than when you're incrementally improving an existing product. and the fact that the project should never have been approved doesn't reflect on the engineers (even the senior ones who pushed for it)

my favourite google thing rn is they got rid of the Google Drive client for macos and there's now two replacements to choose from "Drive File Stream" makes it permanently appear as removable storage "Backup and Sync from Google" is largely identical to the old Google Drive client except you have to delete Google Drive and then install the "Backup and Sync from Google" client which has the catchy title "Backup and Sync From Google.app" in your applications folder
