Hrmm. Interesting. Was the drive NTFS?…only ever used on windows machines? If so…you’re praising Apple when macOS didn’t even fully support it. You lost your files because of macOS

Macs use HFS+ or APFS format, whereas Windows computers employ NTFS. FAT32 and exFAT are recognised by both Mac and Windows devices but those aren’t commonly used anymore. You can check the formatting by going to the Apple menu at the top of the screen and following About This Mac → Storage…i think?

Simpler to just ask Apple and see what happens. Support chat exists.

sure. I was asking in case anyone had any experience with a similar thing

Also thank you for the reply and links. Appreciate it. Not many back their responses

This is on their $7 per month plan? It is hard to believe that for $7 monthly you have unlimited cloud storage .

have you checked the in app settings? go to your reddit settings and make sure nothing is turned off or could also be a bug with the new update, i haven’t updated past ios 16

No, not for CarPlay. I don’t want that. But let’s say I’m on Twitter or Reddit, and someone sends me a message, I won’t even know they messaged me until I exit the app and look at the message icon. It never used to be like this until a few weeks ago. I just updated my phone to the latest as well.

oh for car play lol, delete the phone off car play and re-connect it and allow it

We don’t work for Apple, so there’s no way that anyone here can say more than, “try and find out.”

They’re all on but not working unless I’m out of an app

It didn’t work, I have all notifications open except for on apple car play

Settings > notifications > messages > check that “banners” has a check mark.

Thank you, I’ll try it now

settings > notifications > app

or scroll all the way to bottom until you see the app you’re talking about

For backup?

iCloud is really shitty for big and numerous files.

https://www.backblaze.com/company/privacy.html and https://www.backblaze.com/blog/how-to-make-strong-encryption-easy-to-use/ might answer your question.

Also, not related to privacy, they have versioning system. Normal accounts have 30 days of versioning of every backed up file and you can upgrade it to unlimited time versioning. I think it was extra 15-20 USD per year for that

If you think Samsung’s the worst wait until you deal with Google’s.

Scratch that, hopefully you’ll never have to deal with Google’s.

How secure is backblaze? Like last pass secure or actually spends money worth a damn on their security ?

you do that once during the initial setup...

From my experience it depends upon a fairly consistent charging pattern. It works pretty reliably for me, but if I charge during the day that’ll confuse it and I sometimes then won’t get optimized charging that night.

If it really isn’t working for you, try deleting all your Significant locations and start fresh. Took about two weeks for it to learn my pattern and locations and start working.

Our network security director at my place of work recommends backing up with traditional hard drive, secondary backup on flash and if possible and practical, a tertiary backup in the cloud

Awesome, thank you! I'll check it out.

Backblaze has unlimited space, maybe you can use it as backup?
