So how does it work? Do you have to stitch the photos together? Can you vary display time of each frame?

LOL, I have no idea. Mine was already made up by Google when I opened Photos. Up over everthing, there is Googles "1 year ago today", "spotlight on a day" and who knows what google click bait. THis morning it had that .gif playing in the middle of those others. I'd have to google it myself, or ask @Bandit420 how he did it???

I hate giving ANYTHING to Google. I try not to use any of their products where I need to submit identifier information. It's bad enough that they can ID me through my ISP. I know it's great to get free tools but having worked briefly in tech I can say that NOTHING is free. Information is how they ply their trade. Not going to be a part of it if I don't have to.

I couldn't agree more!!!

LOL, I retired from the 'tech' dept at the school district I worked for. We used to laugh at teachers who would put tape over their 'district issued' laptop camera. Like that would be the only way to spy on them, REALLY?. On our (the districts) network, "IF" needed we could seriously follow every click they made. No video needed, Being able to track high schoolers and middle schoolers on our network was a nessesity at times
"Every move you make" to quote old music AND the DuckDuckGo advertizment. So I use DuckDuck on my Chromebook. LOLOLOL!!! Silly old farmer.

Sadly, yes. Keystroke generators are a great way to spy and easy to infiltrate on someones box. Just offer them something free.....

I like to watch those Youtube videos where white hat hackers hack into scammer networks and expose them. As much as it angers me that India, for the most part, doesn't give a shit if scammers are draining Grandmas bank account, it's quite satisfying to hear, and sometimes see, them lose it when they realize the hacker has all their info and has deleted all the files on their computer!!! I don't condone hacking of any kind but at the same time sometimes you have to cut off the hand to save the arm.
