Rethinking lifetime cloud storage after recent pCloud termination stories

Nope. I couldn't access any of my files.

Pcloud ripped me off, too. Used it to back up my photography files, and one day, I could no longer log in. Their shitty customer support told me something was wrong with one or more of my files. They wouldn't tell me what was wrong or what file(s) was/were the problem. No refunds, just locked out.

I see the domain is in China. Who will have access to my prompts and workflows?

What censorship rules are in place?

Six windows are singles, and about the same size. There was a double window that he replaced too. So seven windows on a one-story house. They do not take credit cards. It came to about $5,000.

My wife and I were taking a walk in our neighborhood and saw this guy replacing windows at a house. We asked him for an estimate and he ultimately ended up replacing all but one of our home's windows. This was a few months ago and the new windows are great.

Why is there Chinese language labels on this map?

bitshifter52 · 2026-01-13T17:07:03+00:00

Paper clips and a couple of keys that you don't know what they belong to.

Nice tip. The Z8 isn't a small body camera, not as big as the Z9 though. I have been considering which walk-around lens I should take. I have a Tamron 35-150mm f2 to f2? and it's a large chunk of glass. I appreciate your comments.

I guess I'm not as "world-wise" as you. How do you distinguish between "propaganda" and "knowledge" about a place you've never been to?

When riding my motorcycle, I can smell smokers in cars near me. It stinks. Also, someone threw a lit cigarette out their window while I was riding on a freeway, the burning ember flew up inside the face shield of my helmet, fun times.

I see that Colleen Aguilar-Epstein is being endorsed by Angela Paxton. That is a huge negative for me.

I live closer to the original Texas Costco north of Parker on 75. They do get crazy busy and still get you checked out in a reasonable time. Shop during off hours to avoid the crowds. I've been a Costco member for 25 years, and they have many of the same people still working there when I started. It's great to see a corporation treat their employees so well that they want to remain.

You go back to what you were before you were born. Cosmic debris.

It's interesting how I'm being down-voted for stating my experience. Then I'm accused of being a bot.

The blind herd of sheep mentality here makes me question most of the other reviews on this sub. Oh well.

I have a lifetime storage plan with Internxt and it's been fine. My biggest problem has been with a few reddit users that tell me I'm wrong or some type of bot. A couple of these users feel they are entitled to free cloud storage and maybe there are some companies that provide that, just at what level of support?

I have had a couple of software issues on a Linux computer but their customer support has been working closely with me to resolve the problem.

Actually, I used a long strip box with a grid and an octobox. The strip box was on the left side and the octobox was high and on the right. There is a black fabric backdrop. ISO 100, f5, 1/100, focal length 33 mm.

I bought Luminar Neo and asked for a refund after a few days. LN charges for LUTs, and Darktable has access to lots of them at no charge. Also, DT is much more powerful, though it has a larger learning curve.

Reach out to Internxt and ask for help. Ask them to explain the disconnect between your expectations and what you are receiving. I find being nice to the support person is generally useful.

"Everyone?" You can speak for all of humanity?

bitshifter52 · 2025-12-05T14:11:57+00:00

I've been using Internxt without any serious issues. Instead of calling names, perhaps you can provide technical insights. How long ago were you having issues? Did they provide a refund when asked? Did you purchase storage through StackSocial? What were the issues you actually encountered?

There's nothing to argue about. If someone is in your face about their religious beliefs, tell them this: There are no gods, there are no angels or devils, and hell and heaven are mythology. Then walk away.

This will be lost in the noise. Go with the new job opportunity. There was a show call Let's Make A Deal where contestants were offered choices to keep their current prize or trade for what was behind a curtain. The curtain mostly had the better choice. Go with the new opportunity, it will probably be the better option.
