Apple

i have iCloud as part of my Apple TV sub but no thanks uploading pics and vids to someone else’s cloud

 

You doing regular offsite backups of your own equipment?

 

To the longevity of MacBook’s conversation: it should be noted that I treated mine like absolute garbage. it served as the sole POS for my liquor store for 3+ years. Ran hard and put up wet. Only issue I had was RAM cards popping loose during that time. Pretty amazing machine.

 

much like a pre chilled yeti, I bury a backup in my back yard on a weekly basis

 

I don’t sync pictures to iCloud or anywhere and just start over with zero pictures when I get a new phone.

 

What?

 

What is the first picture you take and why is it a rear glute spread

 

Username checks out.

 

Seriously though all of my computers do weekly incremental backups to my server. All important files on the server are duplicated across two drives. The server itself is backed up to backblaze and I use a private encryption key - I also think it is much less likely that even if back blaze could get through the private encryption key that they would creepily snoop through the files ala a Google.

 

Seems like a lot of work to avoid google seeing my vacation photos

 

Back blaze is sweet

 

sounds like your vacations suck

 

The wait for it to open is annoying every time

 

Giving me an error I’m pisseddddd

 

Same

 

15 ordered

 

Gonna have to log in when I get to work so I can access my troop discount

 

Just a 15

 

got in and got ordered for 9/22.

15 pro max 1 tb in the blue

 

Yep same for AT&T

 

I’ve never met anyone who orders the max capacity

 

Finally got it to work

 

15 Pro in titanium kopped

 

stupid t-mobile, get all the way through to review order, via the app, and then it says "oh, can't verify your identity, please call or order in store."

fuck off

 

there are dozens of us dot gif

 

Took 20-something minutes to clear the wall

 

Pro Max Titanium Blue acquired.

Now the best part begins, case hunting!

 

needing a tb is absurd. I have a 256gb and have like 10 years of photos on my phone and still have 73gb left over. I guess unless you store all music instead of stream it for some reason.

 

who said anything about need

we bask in the free space, we don’t ‘need’

(yes it is a waste of money)

 

I have 512gb because I have a 200+gb music library I like to carry around like a psychopath

 

I have like 450gb on my current 14 pro max​

 

Lotta onlyfans videos saved on device I’m guessing

 

Kinda want an ultra watch cuz more screen is more better

 

I don’t need nor have any desire for all the extras or bigger screen size that comes with the other models

Also only got 128 GB. I’m barely even using half of the 128 GB that’s on my 13

 

Pro max and watch ordered. Phone is mid October delivery

 

That’s impressive.

 

This counts against Google One space now after they combined some services under that umbrella. They pulled a bait and switch on this. At one point they promised unlimited storage of photos at less than full res. I think even unlimited photo storage outright to some of their flagship phones.

After 10+ years of photo backup, my gmail was suddenly held hostage until I paid up or made room. I just deleted them since it was redundant storage for me.

 

I back my photos up to my synology but also use iCloud

 

9to5Mac says no MFi for the USB-C port. JUst good ole regular USB-C, you no longer have to pay the Apple Tax for charging cables.

The only reason I back up to iCloud is so my pics end up on the fappening.

Anyone ever use this site?

I'd rather spend $80 for the one pod I've lost than $200 for a new pair but am hesitant.

 

which watch did you go with? I need a new one.

 

Obligatory making fun of you for using the stock app

 

I've never understood the hate for the Podcast app. I used the premium version of Overcast for years before switching back and don't feel like I'm missing out on anything.

 

I dont really care what app you use, I just feel like it's a silly tmb meme.

Around iPhone 8 the podcast app got really bad imo. I switched to Pocket Casts and havent turned back. It wouldnt surprise if the stock app is useable again.

 

Also got the 256 pro max in natural titanium. I didnt order until the afternoon so now i have to wait until october 16.
