What’s the best FREE cloud storage option?
Currently I’m using Google Drive. It’s a bit cumbersome since I use two accounts, 30GB, and I feel I would be needing more space in future.
Not exactly new about Clearview AI. Probably should start a topic on dystopian world that we live in. 
Rather than create a new thread just for Science I’ve amended this thread title from the InfoTech thread to encompass general Science and Technology. Hope that’s ok with everyone.

More methods for Big Brother to performance surveillance.
For @RedOverTheWater. Posted here rather than drifting the Religion thread off track again.
We do know how the stars got there.
Our understanding of the universe is pretty solid up to 1x10-32 seconds after the Big Bang. That has come from simply winding Einsteins theory of General Relativity backwards. And we even have some pretty solid ideas of what happened before that time - Cosmic Inflation.
Stars etc. are all perfectly predicted by simply viewing and understanding the Cosmic Microwave Background. The minuscule differences in temperature as the universe became opaque relate to very small differences in density from which gravity took hold and created all that we see today.
With regard to simplicity, I’d like to think that the universe is fundamentally a very simple place made of a few simple ingredients and laws (theories) that governed how it all comes together. That seems to be the way we’re heading, despite things like String Theory being and complete mind f*** to get your head around.
This a great channel to view by the way

Nefarious use of Deepfake technologies. Most banking institutes do not allow transaction by voice mail, it may have to be extended to not allow via voice call?
Well worth a listen. The one about AI in warfare is chilling:
They’re always excellent, Christmas ones are a real highlight for me.
I didn’t know where else to put this but I figured I can squeeze it under “technology” moniker.
Anyway, I need help from you folks, specifically those who can access this Web page (it is hosted in China and I can’t access it even with VPN, although it is said to be available). I need the drivers for a particular Bluetooth dongle, can anyone download them for me and upload it to a service that is available to me? The link is:

Thank you in advance, folks!
Tried various methods, no joy sorry 
What’s the dongle model number?
Thanks nevertheless, mate. The dongle number is CF-B02 and it allegedly uses Realtek 8761B chipset.
It’s not one that has a built in usb drive with the drivers on is it? That Chinese link is a pain, odd way of doing it too linked through a txt document. Encoding videos so have an hour to kill 
No, unfortunately not… I’ve tried downloading them from the link that was provided in the package (QR code and all) but it’s either dead or simply unreachable to me. I’m also trying the drivers from other manufacturers who use the same chip in their Bluetooth adapters but none have worked for me so far.
Tried a few countries on the VPN, no joy. Looks like you’re buggered. Guessing Windows auto driver update was a dead end? The only way I can get a certain make of touch screen to work is via Win update.
Edit: No luck. Download completely stalled at 9MB, and I am not able to resume the download this time.
Downloading now (very slow trickle). It’s going to take a while. I will check the content once completed and will let you know.
FYI: I am using a download manager (Free Download Manager v5.1) + VPN. Using the Firefox built-in downloader did not work.

Yeah, auto-update generally sucks but I’m desperate. 
Still, thank you very much for helping me, much appreciated!
Thank you, mate. Any help is appreciated. I’ve also contacted their support this morning but there’s still no answer and I doubt they will reply but I thought I should give it a go anyway. If your download makes it to the end, please let me know. I don’t have a clue about where this one is hosted.

Looks like comfast is completely offline for me at this time. I will check again later.
