Denmark, and Places on Google Photos
-
Google Photos has a feature which automatically groups photos based on the place where they were taken. In their app and on their website, those places are displayed as albums which contain all photos you've taken at that particular place.
Today, I tried to explore this album:
That didn't seem to work, despite the album's picture being one of my own pictures!
These two didn't work either (despite not containing an ø in their name):
These pictures are my own and were in fact taken at those places. I've had a look at some of the other albums they created and those work fine, so I guess Google has an issue with Denmark.

The harder Google tries to be clever, the harder it fails at simple stuff.
-
Huh, would you look at that...
Heh.
But I don't know if I'm missing any because I don't really take a lot of photos to begin with, much less know them...

I'm sure you're aware of it, but your real name is visible in the link to the video.

@swayde Yeah. @Tsaukpaetra

Yeah, it happens because google was a dick some time ago and tricked me into providing it (around the time of Google+). It's actually not that hard to find it elsewhere, so I don't mind.
It's not really secret, but there's a little trick to what "Tsaukpaetra" even is, when you pay attention. ;)
-
@tsaukpaetra Oh yeah, I remember when Google did that. Now my main account has a "real" name that's a string of insults.

My 13-year-old self thought that was really crafty!
And, it was hella more creative than something like Roxysurfergurl92660.

13-year-old selves think a lot of things are really crafty. But the second sentence is correct.

One of my accounts has my real name, because I had to use Hangouts for an online job interview. The name attached to my other account amounts to a statement that I do not believe they need to know my real name.
