    Writing. As in paid to do it, with briefs, deadlines and editors. From this comment I probably look like a crap writer! I do need to focus alot to write well. I don't use AI except…

    Yeah get your PR and citizenship to your desired country ASAP (wouldn't help in this case as they did anyway). Generally the world gets less friendlier to migration over time. Be i…

    It's one of two backups. The software is great. Dropbox level of just works. iDrive by comparison is cheaper but always errors and files it couldn't touch.

    Thanks! I suspect that for my use case (actual backup no meed for cloud access) s3 glacier is statistically cheaper.
