She’s really reachin’ to find that other ball

Not really, they’ve all had telemetry for probably 20 years.

The cars with satellite radio are even worse (which isn’t saying much, since they put modems in cars about 20 years ago)

Jeep/Chrysler have always been banned from my life.

Garbage. Worse than any other American car company. They even managed to screw up cars made for them by Mitsubishi.

Everyone needs a break, more frequently than most people realize.

I’ve worked in places where I’ve really enjoyed my team - still need a break.

It’s really frustrating there’s no proper backup/restore without root - that’s my primary reason for having root.

Yea, Syncthing-Fork is still maintained, though there hasn’t been an update for a while. The company that makes Möbius Sync for iOS is a big supporter of Syncthing, hopefully they’ll help in some way. Alternatively there’s Resilio Sync, but it’s hard on phone ram - I’d have to manage it a lot more often. Though it has Selective Sync - I can browse a shared folder from my phone and tell it to sync specific files. This is great for my media server - I can grab any movie/music anytime.

I like Syncthing-Fork better because it moves sync conditions to within each folder. So my DCIM folder syncs on any network or battery condition (so I don’t lose photos), but NeoBackup folder only syncs on wifi and while charging.

Pretty much all folders now sync 2-way, and I export the Syncthing config on the phone whenever I change something. That export folder is also synced, so when I switch phones I just install ST, import that config, and after a couple hours the new phone has all the same stuff as the old phone. Then I launch NeoBackup and start restoring.

I mean, really, “bad smell”, and you want to try to “save” it?

No, just no.

it sounds like rivalry to me

No shit? Like that wasn’t patently obvious?

What point are you trying to make? This girl is a psychopath.

I’ve used Folder Sync since about 2011. Killer app.

I run rooted just so I can backup/restore apps, using NeoBackup. It backs up to a local folder.

That folder, along with pretty much every folder on my phone is synced to a server at home using Syncthing-Fork. This way new data (photos, downloaded files, etc) are always replicated, and I can effectively manage the phone file system by moving files around at home. Any changes I make will sync back to the phone.

Yea, this seems pretty obvious.

I take a 10-year-old pocket camera on trips, because it’s just plain easier, faster to use, and produces equal if not better quality pics than any phone.

Plus I don’t worry about charging it. The battery lasts for days. It also has an app to sync the photos to my phone at the end of the day, and my phone uses Syncthing to send those photos to my desktop/server at home.

Lol, I’ll give you the upvote for the entertainment!

Lol, OK, I’ll give you that phrase at least.

But I disagree that vanilla is any kind of simple or plain. It makes chocolate more chocolatey. It adds complexity and depth wherever it goes.

I really do prefer it over chocolate.

I’m pretty sure we have quite a few meteorites that came from Mars.

Chocolate desserts always have vanilla in them, vanilla never has chocolate in it.

Just think about that for a minute…

I like vanilla, some people like chocolate

“too”

Wow, that’s a surprising stat. Users tend to be pretty complacent, though enterprise generally get repetitive warnings and education about this stuff.

SMB is even worse.

I rip my dvd’s to use on my media serve, they then go in a plastic, water-resistant container stored in a dark, cool storage area.

Do you hear how adversarial you are here? You’re actually insulting someone and acting like you have the high moral ground.

At least 50% of your issues is that OM didn’t know slang.
