I had to read the title three times before it clicked that it said 64 TERABYTES and not gigabytes.
Holy smokes.
This happened to me at my old apartment randomly. After giving the correct directions for month, one day Google decided “no, you have to go to this OTHER road and walk through the alley!”
But of course, there was no alley.
That being said, I put in the request with Google Maps to fix it and it was fixed in about 3 weeks. Took 2 weeks to even figure out why all my deliveries were being delivered a street over, though.
Yeah, yeah, I’m up next on the sticks.
Yeah, yeah, I’ll be your player two!
Yeah, yeah, I can play with your Dad!
Yeah, yeah, got the DDR mat!
Yeah, yeah, got cheat codes like yuh.
Copied, not stole like yuh.
Computer froze like yuh….
You’re not wrong but it feels disingenuous to say this. The entire repo with all of its dependencies checked out for a large website can easily clock at half a gig but there’s no popular website now that’s asking any users to download half a gig worth of stuff before they can use it.
There ARE websites where, if you keep them open long enough, they’ll constantly pull more and more data (usually for ads) but even that is measured more so in tens of megabytes.
And none of this is to say that websites haven’t gotten too big, just that comparing a downloaded app’s size to the size of a website’s unbuilt unbundled source with all of its dependencies is an unfair comparison.
Even if you turned it back at this point, it still wouldn’t work.
This is pretty infuriating though; Google works just fine with any device that doesn’t run Android so why would they care that you’re running a custom ROM?
My guess is something less evil and more mundane: something about your number changed in their system and now they can’t send codes to it, which is why it’s grayed out. Maybe it was previously classified as a mobile number but now is classified as a landline.
Your only option, if you don’t have any backup codes, is to use that “Get Help” option they have that takes a few days and then either start carrying around backup codes, a Yubikey, or De-Google.
Hey, maybe all 3!
It's terrifying that the only way to win these days is to just never have been born. Even if you don't play, someone you interact with online is and you get taken in that way.
All to sell you ads for things you don't need or care about.
I've never dealt with this using a hypersonic speaker but I'm very familiar with attempting to record lyrics while hearing my own voice on a delay and it's impossible. Thinking about just trying to read text while hearing myself on a delay sounds similarly difficult.
My guess is that some of us, musicians especially, are more reliant on internal timing in all things.
