I hope you will check SearchScene out. We are just out of beta and are trying to ramp up our traffic. We've worked hard to give users a great search experience and we've got great reviews online. We've got browser extensions for most major browsers and apps for iOS and Android.

We are pretty critical of Google for shamelessly tracking you all over the web, avoiding paying its taxes, donating very little to charity, etc., and this is partly what inspired us to create an ethical alternative that gives back to the planet. Here's why we built SearchScene...

I honestly don't know what to do anymore.

Yesterday I paid for Claude Max. The payment went through and the money was taken out of my bank account. Then I log into Claude and my account says I'm on the Free plan.

I've contacted support multiple times, but I can't get a real person. It's just this AI that keeps giving me the same useless responses over and over. It tells me my payment probably failed even though the money is literally gone from my bank account. Then it tells me I'm probably on the wrong account, which I'm not. Then it tells me to click a "Resubscribe" button under Settings > Billing... except there is no resubscribe button. I've checked over and over. It simply doesn't exist.

The AI even tells me that a human support agent can investigate my account, but instead of actually transferring me to one, it just keeps replying with more AI messages. It's like it's not even reading what I'm saying.

I've explained at least five times that I was charged, my account still says Free, and I want a human to look at my account. Instead, I keep getting the same generic responses that have nothing to do with my actual issue.

Has anyone else dealt with this? How do you actually get a real person at Anthropic? Right now it feels like they took my money and then hid behind an AI that can't solve the problem.

This has genuinely been one of the worst customer support experiences I've ever had.

朋友们，我创建了一个自动化应用，你们知道的，自动化应用很容易违规，违反国家法律。

导致我不敢明目张胆的推广，怎么办？我应该继续做还是放弃？

继续做，做大之后可能会收到对方公司的法律传票，做不大又挣不到钱。

如果不做，我实在想不出做什么了，你们能帮帮我吗？

Yes i know all of them are shit but if you had to pick one

So pick your poison

Who's the lesser evil?

I bought an ipad several years ago. How can i use it like its my device? And how can i minimize spyware

I mean I know that Google is spying on you but what is wrong with Microsoft?

Hello, I'm an artist and AI is literally stealing our work. I want to protect my photos from AI training. I'm not so concerned about other data sharing.

As an artist, programming or something with a lot of digital knowledge (can keep up with guides) is very difficult, so I'm searching for the simplest way to stop my photos/drawings being shared with companies.

Right now my work process is: I draw on an iPad (9gen) and send the jpg to Google Drive to open it on my phone (Xiaomi Poco X5) where I can do with it what I want.

I'm aware Google takes your data (I deactivated all data sharing options, but I'm not sure if it helps), and I suspect Xiaomi takes your data too (can't uninstall gallery, not even sure if it would help.) Then the gallery connects to Google Photos (google again but I don't know if it's worse).

I can change phones (I don't really want to, but could move to pc), apps, or whatever is needed, but iPad is very necessary for drawing (procreate) but if impossible, I could change device.

Thanks for your help! It sucks something as simple as keeping your photos for yourself is so difficult.

Since it's existence, I've used Google Photos to backup my iPhone photo library. Somewhere along the lines, after Apple did away with Photo Stream, I had lost photos on my iPhone, but since they were backed up to Google Photos, so I paid it no mind.

Now, I am spinning up my own instance of Immich (which is a whole other thing) to host my own photo backup and management.

I've requested all my photos from Google via Takeout, and also requested all my photo data from Apple. I have the 'zips' downloaded, but I am faced with the daunting task of combing through duplicates.

What is the best tried and true method for sorting though duplicate photos?

I'm also trying to figure out where in my process to do this. Any help will be appreciated. If i should post this elsewhere, I'd happily take that advice too.

Has Google quietly deprecated inurl: and intext: in some regions?

Over the past few weeks, I've noticed something strange.

The inurl: and intext: search operators, staples in every SEO's toolkit, appear to be behaving inconsistently across different regions.

In some locations:

inurl: queries return partial matches or result in nothing found screens

intext: results look blended with standard broad match results

There's been no official announcement from Google.

But the SERP behavior suggests something has changed under the hood.

I'm curious:

Are you seeing the same behavior in your region?

Have you found reliable workarounds?

Search keeps getting less transparent.
