i had an app on my phone. i backed up my phone. i got a new phone. i restored my phone. all my apps and data reappeared except one. it turns out your apps aren’t in the backup, they get redownloaded fresh as current versions, not the versions you had. one app is no longer in the store so i can’t have it on my new phone.
fucked by drm on a brand new $2000 device. thanks apple.
icloud in china is run by a chinese company, not apple, and their privacy policy is very very clear about what privacy you can expect when using icloud in china.

Looks like Nextcloud's synchronization program said everything was synced but actually dozens and dozens of my photos from the last few years are zero length files.
When attempting to download my nextcloud files on a different machine, I installed the client app and it says sync is done/finished/ok, but it's only synced down 40GB from the server which claims to have 300GB of data, also.
Don't use Nextcloud, don't trust PHP developers, don't trust Euro data hippies.
You open up a Commodore 64, and the box says "welcome to the world of friendly computing."
You turn on a modern PC, and it immediately threatens your data unless you agree to save your data to *their* cloud service.
That right there is why we talk about vintage computers. Folks need to be reminded of what's possible.
