Backup on iOS is comparable to full-disk backups on desktop computers whereas Android "backups" just reinstall previous apps and contacts.

Still no full system backup like iOS

MMS21··on EFF Flew a Plane over Apple's Headquarters
Planes make up a small percentage of fossil fuel emissions, in fact, rice production is closely behind it in pollution statistics.
MMS21··on Don't panic buy, Britain tells consumers as BP shuts gas stations
Saying “don’t panic” has the same affects that “calm down” does when said to an angry person.

> people over on reddit are already planning how they will install Windows on it

Wait until hands on videos show the battery and performance difference between Linux and Windows and see how many Deck purchasers don’t go ahead with their installation.

iirc there are modified Snapchat apks that can screenshot snaps without notifying the sender

Trying to automate these types of systems always runs the risk of targeting innocent players. Because of the TF2 bots I stick to community servers located in my country and add regular players on there to my friends list. That’s the problem with valve owned servers; you cannot visit the same lobby regularly and have a rapport with other players.

MMS21··on The Framework is the most exciting laptop I've used
Check out the DIY Edition; it allows you to do exactly this but you have to install the storage, WiFi adapter and RAM yourself.

I agree with your honeymoon phase comment but if Framework followed what Lenovo did to ThinkPads, there would be no reason to buy them.

The same configuration is $873 without Windows 10. Even with HDMI, MicroSD, USB-A, Type C and a power cable its under $1000!
MMS21··on Leaked Apple Training Videos Show How It Undermines Third-Party Repair
You already cannot use true tone if your screen is not genuine, idk anyone who uses it and if that is really much of a deal breaker, I assume the new iP13 will probably lose refresh rates above 60 when detected as non genuine, only time will tell.

How are the speakers?
MMS21··on The Framework is the most exciting laptop I've used
That's weird. I always see people claiming AMD is superior for Linux due to their opensource drivers (intel and nvidia are not).

btw certain distro devs were provided with Framework laptops a while back

>That tool – a small screwdriver – is also sufficient to upgrade the CPU

CPU isn't up-gradable without switching out the entire mainboard, which I'm fine with, once I get an AMD version that is :)

MMS21··on On YouTube’s recommendation system
Why must we click 3 buttons just so the algo doesn't recommend the same video, couldn't they use the like/ dislike system instead, seriously baffled how those buttons aren't factored in at all.
MMS21··on On YouTube’s recommendation system
I have my watch history turned off so the red bar doesn't appear in thumbnails of videos I left a quarter way through. YouTube still shows me videos that I've watched years ago (Primitive Technology for example a channel which has stopped producing content) and left likes on. How is it that their algorithm doesn't factor in likes/ dislikes at all?!
MMS21··on Trolls convinced journalists they were “abortion bounty hunters”
I love marsey!
MMS21··on Reddit seeks to hire advisers for U.S. IPO – sources
"Leftist communities on Reddit often implore the company to ban The_Donald. So far, Huffman has demurred. “There are arguments on both sides,” he said, “but, ultimately, my view is that their anger comes from feeling like they don’t have a voice, so it won’t solve anything if I take away their voice.” He thought of something else to say, but decided against it. Then he took a swig of beer and said it anyway. “I’m confident that Reddit could sway elections,” he told me. “We wouldn’t do it, of course. And I don’t know how many times we could get away with it. But, if we really wanted to, I’m sure Reddit could have swayed at least this election, this once.” That’s a terrifying thought. It’s also almost certainly true."
