   It will duplicate all your backups

   I have a PC which I have reformatted twice. In both occasions I backed up all my files which I then proceeded to restore. Upon re-installing and re-configuring Insync, I made the mistake of believing it would actually do its job and check and compare the local files and folders with the online ones, you know, as one would expect… or maybe I’m stupid and I just don’t get how syncing software should work. In any case, of course it did NOT check and compare anything because why would it? No Sir, it just went and uploaded EVERYTHING again to Google Drive so now I have duplicated files and folders all over the place because of course I do. It has been almost a year to the day since I first wrote to Insync about this, of course I received a very kind reply that was good for absolutely nothing, which I now clearly see because the exact same thing has happened again.

   Moral of the story: If it’s mission-critical, find another software of be ready to spend hours hoping to fix Insync’s poorly executed solution. And don’t expect them to do anything at all to fix the issue, EVER.

• Dutch intelligence agency warns conspiracy theories pose ‘serious threat’

  Physically printing? Cuz the nytimes for instance just silently edits their digital articles without retaining a log of changes, and many of those changes will never be printed. Source: about 1 year ago

• NY Governor stalls right-to-repair bill; has until Dec 28 to avoid “pocket veto”

  I've also seen NYT and CNN make updates to articles that materially change the original reporting without noting the change[1], or noting the ypdateat the end of the article. Ars consistently updates the totle and has the explanation for any updates before the original report, which is beyond other news organizations since it's impossible to miss. 1.

• I wonder how far Ethan will go until the mob inevitably turns against him

  There was a website that was created years ago that documented the changes in website articles. Newsdiffs used to be updated and would catalog any and all changes to articles on the major publishers. It was really creepy. Some changes would be minor and happen within minutes. Others would be changed anywhere from weeks to months later. Talk about a memory hole. Source: over 2 years ago

• Biden rips GOP for not voting to raise debt limit: 'It's hypocritical, dangerous and disgraceful'

  But looking into it more I found this extension which will track news article changes, as well as this website that does the same, unfortunately it looks like the latter is out of commission. Source: over 2 years ago

• Few months ago, I read a article but yesterday when I see the same article it's look updated. And some information is changed. Is there any WEBSITE which help me to see the old one.........

  If it's a popular news site, the changes might be saved on one of the designated sites that tracks such things, such as NewsDiffs. Source: over 2 years ago
