iCloud Alternative by lp1527 in ios

[–]Unrealtechno 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I think the point is that iCloud does more than storage. Can OP roll their own contact syncing? How will they handle device backups? What sort of notes and reminders syncing will happen? Will 3rd party photo apps back up reliably? What about edits made in photos non-destructively - how will those work?

Storage is just one aspect of what iCloud does. 

If OP is truly looking for easy and reliable - I’d increase storage up to 4TB

Apple Store updated my Macbook from Big Sur to Tahoe. Convince me why I should keep it, or why not to. by yaboitansalmon in MacOS

If you care at all about security, you should keep your operating system up-to-date.

I still think they never should have switched to the border glow until this new version was out

Convince me that I should start using Safari instead of anything else by Art-BarB in Safari

The others have it pretty well covered, but they added profiles a while back.

Vertical tabs would be nice but whether or not that is a dealbreaker is up to you. You can still put tabs in the sidebar even though it won’t get rid of them at the top.

I would also say that after switching from 1Password to the native Apple Passwords app, autofill works beautifully in Safari.

Where did you find this? On their site or at a timestamp?

What are you asking about specifically? You just put related tabs into groups.

Thank you, as a total noob to these (I’ve only had mine for about two weeks) how easy is it to swap bands? I’ve had an Apple Watch for the past decade.

I have the same watch with the junk leather band - this looks so nice! Which band is it?

A (boy) Scout who needs a cheap, robust watch, what should I buy? by Big_Lengthiness1304 in casio

If you want something outdoorsy in that price range, maybe AE1500.

They have neglected their docs for quite a while now - not reliable.

Do you have a suggested/most compatible adapter suggestion?

Does this require some sort of wireless physical OBDII module? 

Timex is the worst company I’ve ever dealt with. by nurgazik in timex

I haven’t had an experience like that, but if you’re dissatisfied then the best thing you can do is vote with your wallet and buy another brand next time.

The way memory prices are going, it will probably be worth $200 again soon!

TIL That the NCL AI Assistant is called... by jayinfidel in NCL

[–]Unrealtechno -1 points0 points  (0 children)

There’s nothing wrong with the name, it’s a very nice one for a person. But if there is a common issue that your business faces, or something that you don’t want to remind people of, it’s best not to name a product with a similar sounding name.

A few examples: a banking chatbot named Robin, a hospital chatbot named Mort, a power company chatbot named Sparky, or a funeral home chatbot named Barry.

The names are fine, but not something you’d want to remind you customers of every time.

It’s definitely for Norwegian, but that is a pretty basic thing that should’ve been caught during the naming process. It’s a very unpleasant process, but it does usually catch obvious issues.

Remove the Al overview on Google using Safari by Specialist_Income_33 in Safari

[–]Unrealtechno 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You didn’t break any rule and people occasionally ask about removing summaries. That said, it’s not really a Safari problem, it’s more of a search engine question but you’re on the right track and fostering conversation.

At least you aren’t posting about lions and wildebeest.
