<p>I ended up losing nearly 15 years of my Google Location history during the switch to on-device, so if you're interested in doing analyses like this, be sure to back up your data on Takeout before you enable the on-device setting that nemo1618 mentioned. Once that setting is set, the data is no longer available on Takeout, and if the data didn't fully transfer to your device, which is what happened to me and to some others, it's gone: <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/GoogleMaps/comments/1diivt3/megathread_google_maps_timeline_moving_to/" rel="nofollow">https://www.reddit.com/r/GoogleMaps/comments/1diivt3/megathr...</a></p>

<p>Has anyone done a (hopefully) systematic survey of the processes and software people use to store their stuff, sort of like a usesthis.com but just for storing assets, and how well that's worked over time? My guess is the successful strategies would look a lot like Brajeshwar's comment, a thoughtful plan that uses simple software and formats, some planning for the future, and, probably critically, regularly doing "digital chores".<p>There've been some efforts in the past to store everything and make it searchable, like the ancient Chandler project, and the possibly still alive Parkeep, none that have been more widely adopted than a strategy of put everything in Gmail, Dropbox, etc, and hope for the best, which is what I do, minus the regular diligence that people like Brajeshwar have.<p>Making and using anything more complex looks like it turns into a (very cool looking!) hobby in itself, like these:<p><a href="https://thesephist.com/posts/monocle/" rel="nofollow">https://thesephist.com/posts/monocle/</a><p><a href="https://simonwillison.net/2020/Nov/14/personal-data-warehouses/" rel="nofollow">https://simonwillison.net/2020/Nov/14/personal-data-warehous...</a><p><a href="https://writings.stephenwolfram.com/2019/02/seeking-the-productive-life-some-details-of-my-personal-infrastructure/" rel="nofollow">https://writings.stephenwolfram.com/2019/02/seeking-the-prod...</a><p>And yeah, the latter two also include storing and searching more than say email and photos, but maybe shows one's tendency to want to store and search everything.</p>

Would it then collapse into an introspective black hole, realizing its talents could be put elsewhere and becomes an EA maximalist, or finally conclude its very own power consumption could be put to better use powering ICU ventilators and power down?<p>Also! I sort of question the spirit of these two bots. After solving the problem, neither went on to create elaborate visualizations of the problem!</p>
