Backups?

Does it even matter at this point? Any phone that costs more than $1000 is too much regardless.

Show her it works, set boundaries, and enforce them. She cannot use you as a crutch for her inability.

If all else fails, fix it one last time, and tell her she needs to go to best buy (or whatever tech store offers tech support) for the next time and when she asks for you to fix it, just stand your ground and make her pay for someone else to deal with her shit.

Yeah Good point. the storage is the most expensive part. I did find these SSDs at a good price and with high reviews on Amazon which would cost $356 for 4 before taxes (a little better that 480€, but not by much).

Edit: Another thought would be to use the sata hat on the pi and get some sort of adapter to work with the platter drives but that would just add in the complexity and would likely require a PC power supply for the drives which would also add costs.

Haven’t read the article, but unlockable bootloaders are on the rise.

Buy second hand, don’t buy new unless you know that the company is trying to solve climate change.

It’s good, but I prefer my filtered water from the fridge

Not gonna lie, I use it in development, but can I do my job without it? Yes

So my answer is “no”

Right, but the ask in the response is help, not money

Not sure why no more upvotes, but I also feel this is a crucial one if not the most crucial one.

A little bit of water releases the burbon flavors and males it taste better. Also, ice waters it down after a while and tastes lile shit.

Not sure what is going on with your setup, but Signal should work with any internet connection.

Well, with RCS everyone already has a baked in app that supports the protocol, but still doesn’t do anything better other the alternatives (I mean other apps, not sms).

I’m slowly moving all my friends and family over to Signal
