That's not the case though, at least for me? I had set Whatsapp to backup to Google Drive, and when I switched to an iPhone it did some automagix and all my stuff was there (and then backed up to iCloud!).

In the Netherlands, was trying to promote Signal. I switched phones and lost all my history. Now I’m fairly careful with these things, and make backups, but even I wasn’t able to get it back. Couldn’t recommend it to anyone since. There’s a

Really? I'll check it out. One of the reasons I'm still in the Apple world is how well my phone works with my computer. It's little things like being able to turn my phone into a scanner from my desktop, and synchronised DnD.

The article keeps making it sound as if it's a problem for humans. e.g.: > Now here the date is more flexible, let's say 2022. But if you're collecting data before 2022 you're fairly confident that it has minimal, if

As an aside, why is the death the only possible result of charging police with a knife in the USA? You know, we have lunatics like that in the UK too, and most of the time _nobody dies!_

Too little, hopefully too late. I can export to another device, _whilst I still have my current device_? That's only half the story, and a little of the anxiety. The real issue is; what happens when my devices are gone? If I get robbed

The marketing bullshit preceding the statement "and so, you can go fuck yourselves because we're dropping support for your laptop" is infuriating.

First of all; fuck I'm so sorry :( Secondly though; in Europe you don't have the potential to make a dumb choice because like it or not, you're getting decent healthcare.

If the judge of your fitness took into account only the amount you could lift, then sure, why not use a forklift. This is what's happened in education. The education system is not concerned with teaching you to learn, or even teaching

No that's not exactly what I meant. It's not that "If AI can do X then X is worthless", but rather in _this_ case it's inappropriate. Homework should be a part of the collaborative process of learning (as others abo

This is the best use of technology I've seen in many years, and it makes me sad that it's getting no attention. Indicative of the general problem in tech these days, I guess.

Yup. I reported what I considered to be a serious security flaw to a _security company's_ product. They wrote back (since I was a paying customer), telling me that it wasn't a security issue. A few weeks later they had patched the
