Are cloud services good enough to store our digital life? (Open_Tab)

2016-08-30
all right let's move on to cloud services and stuff like that out do you so we talked a little bit about steam is there any service you use that's heavily cloud-based that you can't live without besides netflix minutes right the obvious one yeah besides that one well drop box I mean that's use Dropbox yeah I don't he does i guess i'm a big drop box i was looking at you yeah i don't use it but i know a lot of people who do use made it sort of my it's sort of my nice fail-safes you pay for it no i don't i mean it's free i mean i believe how much do they give you for free uh not for me to store all my red docket gotcha right you can't store media files but movies or photos but I mean that's a writer tits like invaluable to have that's right all right I don't hear anything I only read them no no but it's a great place to secure your file somewhere else right are you working on a novel or so yes they are we all right right I don't have a book deal come on yeah no everyone really we all y'all had book deals mom not me yeah you're behind the curve okay oh okay what about you been I got I got this that's all you need that's the only cloud you need me right in the cloud so speaking of which what is your sort of end all cloud service thing like for me Google Docs is a huge part of my course work like you're in my personal life yeah is are you guys attached by the hip with that now well yeah I use Google Docs constantly you know that's that's definitely helpful I've started looking into this service through amazon if you're a prime member you can download you can put in the cloud an unlimited number of photos Chris yes yes so I actually try to take photos yeah google for is the problems i can do amazon because i don't know okay I'm calm do they compress the files I don't know that isn't it what not but the Google compression is not it's not terrible it's like this thing is like eight megapixels like it's yeah yeah this SLR quality photos yeah president yeah yeah needless to say when I tried to take apparently I have 17,000 photos that I have stored on my a laptop can I tried to move them onto the cloud and my computer basically we just like I don't feel like it come here like hey st. happen yes like yeah look look I'm the mid-2010 model you think I'm working that hard I'm not gonna do I got simulated I got a four more weeks on the clock and I get my message i was great i throw me in a dumpster yeah you know I'm gonna get recycled so it didn't work so i really like this idea of backing up my look yes me yeah the question so it didn't work did you befo toes I could try to use google photos but I feel like it's gonna take up all over every like 10 days to upload all my photos leave them in batches no I just had running pretend a stray wow you got to set it up for like at least the weekend and you get unlimited with me okay are you in it's ready so you'll be telling add bits up for your photos but whatever its yeah yeah yeah cuz at this point in my life I got baby pics I got you know all sorts of immortals food photos so you need already food guess what coupon we're sending you will you believe me be very we'd be very upset if we lost the photos is a very important course so I'm not gonna lose it you don't your life photos no I'm saying that I want to store them in the clouds I want to have that backup so there was a cloud phone that you saw yes the next next bit Robin what the what is that next bit Robin is this crazy phone it was a Kickstarter progress okay start off as a as this kind of crowd-sourced thing it uses the cloud for storage so it's got about like 32 gigs I might be correct I'm gonna be wrong about 32 16 32 gig on a heart or hardware so Boko itself yeah yeah but once you exceed that point it starts to offload stuff and automatically offloads apps photos things that it knows that you don't actually use that often your sap in the cloud is a little suspect it's very interesting because they they've offloaded like I saw them offload Spotify right and then as soon as you it's or it gets great out on the phone you tap on it and sort of redownload really quickly all the settings are saved everything is logged in you don't have like re-login anything it's as if you never really deleted it so what does it run runs on android and they've worked their technology so the reason why next we got a bunch of hype was because the the key founders are all part of the original android teams so they know Andrew they like they have the institutional knowledge of Android so they know how to kind of work the operating system and really maximize its potential and they they kind of use this cloud architecture as the big selling point so how's it doing idea it's not it's not how it's a it's about a year old at this point you know it came in to Kickstarter it was got ton of height people really pretty fun too and it is a really nice and nice looking okay I mean I think it's done well for what it was but it's a very niche product I mean there's going after people who are like super super hardcore about Android because this is like basically a pure Android experience with cloud that it's you know it's a it's done okay for what it is but it Roger it is totally on each product I'm not a face are you getting on the cloud I look at Arizona on their class almost care about i think a lot as a lot more than you can cram onto me it's a huge mass space it wasn't okay well a full terabyte it was a massive amount of space that's still that at least justifies the concept of the product right well if you're gonna get like 200 bunny because the ethics gets a reviewer try to like I was you know talking to Jessica review the problem it's tough to review a phone that like you've got to like intentionally crammed up yeah you're like confuse it and like put it through its BS so it's I mean it's and it works okay but the thing of it is is especially if you've got like 32 gigs of storage it's hard for you to fill up that stores yeah really like after her like a one month or even like a two-week review period so that sounds like one of those weird bridge products where it's like yeah this makes sense but like we're just not totally I mean I do think that that's sort of where things are going I think phones eventually will start for sure cloud like as a default but we're our network connections aren't there yet right you know if you're outside your connection spotty and you like you need to download that crucial app that's in the cloud somewhere and it's like busy signal yes it's you're gonna be pissed right you're gonna be upset you're gonna do that how is Apple's supposed to price gouge us right how's that gonna work you know like you got to think about that first I don't know they can they could do the same thing there I think I guess yours like a charge of this huge project twenty dollars a pop for the privilege of our cloud services they're fine yes hi
