And cloud where you data is just used for tracking and advertising (for) you isn't comparable to the local method, as I said. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] kn33@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 child) And cloud where you data is just used for tracking and advertising (for) you isn't comparable to the local method, as I said.

But that's not how almost anyone would do it for normal files. permalink fedilink source parent [–] superkret@feddit.org -2 points 2 years ago (1 child) Yeah, as you said. In your edit that moved the goalpost while I was looking these up. Your initial question was about 10TB for 10€, no disclaimer. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] 30p87@feddit.org -1 points 2 years ago Weil ich dann gemerkt habe, dass ich das spezifizieren muss. Hab dss halt schnell beim warten getippt. permalink fedilink source parent [–] EldritchFeminity@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 2 years ago If we're gonna get nitpicky on this (which we might as well), we should include the cost of bandwidth when talking about the cloud. They offer the storage for free (theoretically), but it still costs you money to upload and download that data. I was just having a similar conversation with some people about the rapidly increasing size demands from video games, and somebody brought up the point of bandwidth as an issue as important as the size on disk. If you have to download multi-gig patches for a 100+ gig game, that's going to very quickly eat through monthly data caps. permalink fedilink source parent
