What do they use it for? Just the photos/videos?
I sync all such things to home using either Syncthing (Möbius on iOS) or Resilio Sync. No cloud service required. Then it’s all backed up with my home backup.
Its nearly instant when I take a photo. It means I can manage my photos with my laptop rather than my phone.
They both work by installing the app on your PC and your phone, then configuring a sync job for whatever you want to sync, both have a default photo backup job in them.
What’s a Facebook?
(Yes, /s. I’ve never even been to the website, let alone had an account).
Others have mentioned backup, I’m going to reiterate that.
I have an (old) NAS that frankly I don’t trust to not die. Then again, anything can die, so it’s just one component of my data duplication.
I also have my server which is authoritative for all data, which is then duplicated (on schedules) to the NAS and 2 external drives, so I have 4 local copies.
All mobile devices sync important data to my server.
Power
My NAS idles about 15w. It’s 5 drives, so honestly that’s quite low and tells us it spins down drives.
My server idles at 20w, using NVME as the boot drive, a large data drive, and an SSD for virtual machines. It’s power supply maxes at 80w (which it approaches when I’m converting videos with handbrake).
Before this my server was an old gaming desktop that idled around 100w.
So my server today is a 5 year old Small-Form-Factor Desktop that I picked up for $50. I paid more for the RAM I added. It has enough room internally for one 3.5" drive and the 2.5" SSD…
It’s also quiet - the CPU and power supply fans double as case fans.

Fuck that
2·2 days agofeels like a day should be one daylight period and one night period, but it’s currently a daylight period and two half nights.
Only to you.
In day to day conversation, when someone says “I slept like shit last night”, we all know what that means.
If you say night of the 5th, that will mean the time from sunset to midnight on the fifth.
After that it’s morning/pre-dawn of the 6th.
This isn’t new or controversial.
And Capitalist is a pejorative
Oh, agreed.
There’s some other stuff at play with the minis (shared family photos, backup to each other, etc) that I’m going to use as an enticement to get them to learn to use these tools.
Once they learn that, I can slip in some other things, piecemeal, depending on what each person clicks with.
To be fair, you’re talking about root - which is always tricky.
I run rooted Pixels, and so far updates haven’t been a problem.
So far…

Even then you only needed the Sunday.

My current phone is a Pixel 5, because size, unlockable, and fingerprint on the back.
The BlueFox looks promising, and a decent price! Could be my spare phone, especially since I migrated my phone number to Jmp.chat - they pipe your SMS into XMPP, so it’s no longer SIM/device bound.

Oh, yea, Samsung has had this since like 2015.
Never worked well then, but I’m sure it does now
Since 1985 for me.
All my cars go to 300k, or more.
Color is absolutely part of VIN.
But your point stands.
