For one it’s not a full, real backup strategy. That’s supposed to include multiple tiers.

Also it’s instantly synced, so if I bonk my stuff locally, it could be bonked over there and history might not be able to save me depending on the situation.

And I guess if Dropbox dies my data dies.

Some people take their data seriously enough to worry about that kind of stuff. I don’t.

I like to annoy my IT friends by saying my backup strategy is chucking what little important data I have in my free Dropbox account.

It’s not even that important; I don’t care!

What does debloating entail exactly?

What the hell. I’ve never seen such an issue. Microsoft is so considerate; they provide us with cool little surprises like that from time to time. ♥️

Remembering that show frustrates me. How did they start with such a hilarious premise and end up with a show that’s okay and not one milligram more?

What year is it? Locked devices have been illegal in Quebec for, like, ever.

They mean swords. They must be talking about swords, right?

I do know a few devs who prefer 5 days in the office. But they’re absolutely the minority.

Personally, I try to go once a week, but I usually don’t because I dread having a day with 50% my normal productivity.

It’s just so noisy all the time in there. Open space and really high ceilings for “collaboration”…

Probably doable, but I’m told it would be illegal because of the proximity of water. Also quite a bit of work to arrange in an aesthetically acceptable manner.

Thanks for the details!

If I owned this apartment, I’d get the outlet added in a heartbeat. But since I’m a renter, I’m really hesitant.

As for the outlet… It WOULD be possible to run one along the ceiling or something like that, but it would be so much work to do in an aesthetically acceptable manner (and also I’m not too sure how the building code would like that) that at that point I’d almost rather pay an electrician. Which brings me back to: do I really want to pay to improve this place when I don’t know how long I’ll live here?

Decisions, decisions…

Sorry, I’m not angry at you. I just got a pre-emptively emotional reaction to the prospect of being cold.

Dude I don’t even drink cold water unless it’s a very hot day because I have precious little body heat and it takes a long time to get it back.

The idea of getting frozen by the crotch/butt does not amuse me.

Sadly, that would be even more difficult. My toilet is across from my sink, so there would really be no safe way to hook it up that wouldn’t imply someone who really knows what they’re doing. At that point it’d probably be easier to hire an electrician to add a power plug.

But that sounds expensive, and I’m a renter…

If only I had power next to my toilet 😭

(No I’m not using cold water; I’m cold enough already)

With this arrangement, they probably can’t steal your data. But they can absolutely destroy your phone with a string electric shock, if that’s the sort of malicious plan they have.

I hope you can see a doctor because that doesn’t sound good at all

At 60 years old I’d get it but at 30? That’s worrisome.

Thanks for the recommendations. I’ll give those a try when I have some time. :)

For now. I suspect some evil person will eventually think of baking in default ads for when it can’t connect to the network to get new ones.
