I don’t disagree that you should set up retention policies to delete old email, I disagree that you should remove old emails from primary service/storage.
I actually did need a 15 year old email a few months ago. I don’t recall what I needed, but I then set up a retention policy to delete old stuff.
- Comment on Mozilla Thunderbird Challenges Gmail With Its Own Email Service 8 hours ago:
Not true.
It’s much easier to keep old data in active storage where it can be classified, searched, and have retention/deletion policies applied. Moving it elsewhere makes it more likely you’ll just hang onto it forever while not using it at all.

- Comment on We refer to jeans as "a pair of jeans", but the only thing that there are two of is the legs, it's still only one item of clothing. 1 day ago:
A pair of jeans for a pair of legs.
- Comment on Do you eat shrimp shells when eating shrimp? 1 day ago:
No. I did switch to eating larger shrimp so there’s less work involved.
There are ways of cooking shrimp that break the shell down to the point that it’s more like crispy salmon skin.

I wasn’t just a user, I was an admin of BES and UEM and all mobile devices. Nearly ever enterprise user had awful Android experience.
- Comment on Sketchy social media post gives BlackBerry fans hope for the return of the smartphone brand 4 days ago:
I had a few, not hard to get.
Hub was a good idea but they didn’t keep up with modern enterprise security features.
The hardware was below BlackBerry’s average, especially coming from a bb10 device like the passport.

“No frills”
Right now EVs come with frills. The leaf, bolt, and that Mitsubishi golf cart were the no-frills EVs.
- Comment on I'm looking for a no frills, physical key EV. Am I looking for something that no longer exists? 4 days ago:
The profit margins on cheap cars isn’t high enough yet to introduce EVs at that price.
Closest you can probably get is the Corolla hybrid base model. It’s not full EV and sadly isn’t even a plugin hybrid.

The Android phones were rubbish.
There was no os11. There was bbx/bb10
- Comment on Sketchy social media post gives BlackBerry fans hope for the return of the smartphone brand 4 days ago:
Nope.
The qnx os was the modern blackberry phone. They lost the plot moving to android.
- Comment on Microsoft's many Outlooks are confusing users and employees 4 days ago:
MS knows any data within your tenant. It doesn’t train on it or use it for other purposes outside of your tenant.
- Comment on Microsoft's many Outlooks are confusing users and employees 1 week ago:
The data is still harvested but it stays within their own tenant.
- Comment on Is there a good way to buy chrome lettering in the same font as the brand's original lettering on the back of the car? 1 week ago:
Probably can’t, fonts are copyright protected.
You could find something that looks close though, and just redo the entire badge.
- Comment on Hey, do americans just want to take a break from normal politics for a bit and focus all our efforts solely on the wild boar problem? 1 week ago:
Considering any feral pig has a few kills under its belt and sleeps outside, it’s more likely that you’re level1 and it’s level 8 or 9.
- Comment on Why don’t wireless connections (WiFi, Bluetooth, etc.) use anything between 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz? 1 week ago:
6ghz is even more fun. They must operate and low power unless a gps transceiver is attached to confirm its not interfering with someone that has a license to operate in that location.

- Comment on Microsoft tells Windows 10 users to just trade in their PC for a newer one, because how hard can it be? 1 week ago:
I have people complaining about simple UI changes. Proton isn’t going to fix that.
- Comment on Microsoft tells Windows 10 users to just trade in their PC for a newer one, because how hard can it be? 1 week ago:
Ms will stop supporting windows 10. Windows 11 has hardware requirements for a specific security chip and processors with specific features, so upgrading components isn’t an option.
If you have an old pc you can’t easily upgrade. Theres ways of forcing it to work but it’s not supported.
A lot of businesses will be getting rid of their old pcs so they dont need to deal with the hassle.
Linux will still support and run on the older hardware, so a lot of people are expecting used hardware prices to drop.

- Comment on How would "banning encryption" even work in practise? 2 weeks ago:
You’d be surprised at how much an off-the-shelf firewall can see and categorize. A purpose built application that regulates/controls the physical network would have no issue with that type of traffic.
- Comment on How would "banning encryption" even work in practise? 2 weeks ago:
Easy. They would block traffic they can’t decrypt.
They would force a root cert to be accepted that they use to decrypt-inspect all encrypted traffic.

- Comment on Check your DVDs for disc rot — Warner Bros. says it’s replacing them 3 weeks ago:
I’m digitizing my SO’s cd collection now. Half are normal cds. 1/4 are promo or weird stuff from bands that barely existed. The rest are mix tapes or unreleased things from when they worked as a music journalist in college.
- Comment on BlackBerry may have the perfect opportunity to produce a Canadian made cellphone to compet with Apple and other America brands. 4 weeks ago:
They had a working qnx phone that ran Android apps, but google didn’t let them run some essential services and store support was awful.
It was a good attempt though. Bb app devs were getting paid a lot better than Apple/android/microsoft because the apps could be priced higher. It’s the “free” apps that were a problem.
Netflix actively declined 2 full time devs paid for by BlackBerry to build and maintain an app. They weren’t going to get any additional subs from Netflix on qnx, it was just going to be a development boat anchor.
I still have my red bb passport and to this day still think it was the best mobile phone ever made.

The simple way to deal with this is through extensions. Collect anonymized data through an extension, let the user decide to opt-out if they want.
