Edit: Changed basically the whole comment, as you’re right. I looked at the Blog, and it does state in his FAQ that he had a backup. Which frankly makes a significant part of the article completely BS - as it makes multiple heavy implications that he didn’t have any backup.

This apparently happened with “no explanation and no recourse,” putting “terabytes of family photos” and their entire message history out of reach, as well as preventing the ability to sync work across devices.

He has copies elsewhere, so why would he be worried about losing access to this data.

Also, the end of the article discusses not storing all your data in one place…

If you store your photos and files in a single place, it’s a good idea to back them up to multiple locations to protect against something going wrong. But with how integrated devices are these days, it’s hard to avoid having all your apps, purchases and media within a single ecosystem. In cases like that, there’s not a lot you can do.

So it wouldn’t be wrong of most people to walk away from this article with the assumption that he didn’t have a proper backup strategy.

Everyone always learns the hard way, just the same as I did - one copy is usually as good as no copies at all.

For data you can’t afford to lose, the 3-2-1 rule is king. Original, cold local, and remote.

Oh I get you. I never said I wouldn’t also be having a panic attack upon finding out what I’d accidentally just done either…

But I can with certainty tell you for damn sure that Kiedis’ reaction was the WRONG reaction to have.

In my work, plenty. And I can fairly confidently say that telling someone’s age by their looks isn’t always easy.

Which is to say that it isn’t an entirely unrealistic scenario, and could be forgiven if one actually tried to remedy the situation upon learning of their mistake, rather than going for a second turn (yuck)

Its forgivable that a 20 year old might accidentally end up in this situation, not having realised that she was only 14 until she said so…

But you know what a normal person does when they realise they just accidentally had sex with someone underage?

They take them back home to their family and apologise profusely. They don’t have sex with them a second time round! That truly is some child predator behaviour right there.

All I can do is pray that my current RAM survives long enough for this stupid AI bubble to burst, like with the Crypto-Bro GPUs.

But it is kind of horrifying how easily consumers have been priced out of the RAM market - at least for newer stuff anyways

Considering everyone I know with a folding phone has had a fault with the folding part of it - I don’t think its the best idea from a durability standpoint to add yet another folding part.

If one screen or fold point breaks, you’re now left with two unusable (but perfectly functioning) screens. Seems like an expensive gimmick to me.

Considering its relevant to the discussion I would say (like OP) that’s a bit uncalled for…

Historically and currently, non-white people are much more likely to be profiled in airports - meaning that it often isn’t as easy as “scan your face here and walk through”.

If anything it’s even more privacy invasive than the “normal” procedure.
