@Altimax98 yes, i wish google would use its AI to sort that out. — PolitiTweet.org

@rbrtofl doesn’t have the same features that make Google Photos so compelling. you have to manually add images, which you don’t have to do with Google. also doesn’t work with the Nest displays the grandparents have for looking at the photos. — PolitiTweet.org

@richardgunther the whole point of this feature — automatically add images to a shared album based on facial recognition — is to keep you from having to curate! — PolitiTweet.org

@philipberne my photo archive goes back a decade! and since the whole point of this feature is to avoid having to manually cull and add photos to the album, it’s not like i’m going through and removing the many similar images. google’s AI should do that automatically. — PolitiTweet.org

adding insult to injury, i actually pay handsomely for an upper tier of Google cloud storage specifically to store photos and share/access them easily — PolitiTweet.org

google: let’s make the perfect digital photo album for parents that automatically adds images captured on multiple phones to a single place that relatives can see also google: we’re gonna cap how many images can be in that album, sorry parents. — PolitiTweet.org

dan seifert @dcseifert

the arbitrary limit to the number of images that can be in a google photos album continues to be a pain in the ass. it’s actually not that hard to get to 20,000 photos when you have multiple kids and multiple google accounts contributing images to it automatically https://t.co/lG5rLAdC1e — PolitiTweet.org

@PenLlawen outside of the US, “text message” almost never means SMS. but in the US, SMS is default, with iMessage being the next most common thing. have to assume it’s the least secure option given the limited information provided — PolitiTweet.org

dan seifert @dcseifert

@PenLlawen right, it's why that information should have been clarified. it's the first immediate question I'd have asked that aide! — PolitiTweet.org

dan seifert @dcseifert

lastly, this whole article is a good example of the reason for reporters to understand tech. if a source told me that the VP preferred text messages over email because of security, my first question back would be to clarify that point because “text messages” is extremely vague. — PolitiTweet.org

dan seifert @dcseifert

@SPalermoNH if she’s using an iPhone (which seems to be the case given photographic evidence) and her staffers are using iPhones etc then mostly likely iMessage, yes. but if anyone on her team has an Android phone then iMessage doesn’t work. — PolitiTweet.org

@rjcc i’m just saying that it’s pretty common for SMS messages to get intercepted by bad actors, this is the whole problem with using SMS for 2FA! — PolitiTweet.org

dan seifert @dcseifert

i get being cautious with email after what happened in 2016 and if she's using iMessage or a service like Telegram or Signal it's a different convo, but the reporting doesn't clarify. point is plain old SMS is not a secure way to communicate at all. — PolitiTweet.org

dan seifert @dcseifert

everyone is (rightfully) dragging that politico piece about the VP's wariness of Bluetooth for security reasons, but nobody has mentioned this, which hmmmm, last i checked text messages were extremely not secure? https://t.co/73kveXxzLb — PolitiTweet.org
