imagine if this was the update that fixed it though. wouldn’t that be something speaking of weird storage usage, i first noticed this when i started using files.app last year and it's been going on ever since:   i've never been able to figure out why there is a multi-gigabyte discrepancy between the available storage reported by settings.app and files.app. how common is this? e: lmbo this guy's ipad was also reporting ~5.5 GB free in files.app but settings shows ~40 GB free  https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/379425/different-free-storage-space-reported-in-the-files-app-and-in-settings-%E2%86%92-ipad-st Weedle fucked around with this message at 19:26 on Sep 2, 2020 |

They were doing some work on it in 13.6.1 according to the changelog. So I'd expect it to be working in most cases in 13.7 if 13.6.1 didn't quite work.

Rinkles posted:Will have to help her do a backup because of course she can't do the update with a filled up phone I thought they fixed this with the app offload stuff a few versions ago. But maybe not effective if the storage free space is what's buggered. Sadly, doing a backup and restore would probably fix the issue anyway (temporarily), so you probably won't know of the upgrade has worked for a while.

8, 11, and 12 all got to x.4, which were the previous highest. That said, they've changed their update philosophy and leaving out features for point releases until they're ready, so we'll probably see more of this going forward.

sourdough posted:Hasn't it been a thing like forever? It has but 13.6 improved to the point I would say it's semi-fixed. My full-for-years ipad that had gotten almost unusable now has 4gb of space without me doing anything but updating. But yeah it sucks that this is a problem I have been dealing with since like the 4S. Well until I got a phone that had more than double the space I needed and stopped caring, but I am not going to tell someone else they should spend an extra hundred to solve their problems (although I tell myself this all the time, probably why I am in inescapable debt).

Sync and update phone that way. You won't be able to backup phone and update wirelessly. 13.6.1 did fix issue for the most part but you have to be able to update to fix issue

I just moved from an Android phone to an iPhone SE, basically because it was easier and I no longer have the energy to care about the philosophies of companies that don't give a poo poo either way. HOWEVER- I do need to get my whatsapp backup from Google Drive into my new iPhone. It looks like there's no easy way to do this, but if anyone will know, they'll be on our trusty, beloved, stalwart SA (may it respond to ping forever). Anyone have experience with this?

Nope, the best you can do is saving the attachments via android file manager and message history in text format (that cannot be reimported) over whatsapp proper. Moving from android to iOS and losing all whatsapp history is what made me push for all my friends to move to other platforms(like telegram) where platform migration is not that disruptive.

All advertising sucks, but given that most people now believe that iPhone and Android devices are both about the same quality, it makes sense to promote something your competitor does the pure opposite of.

Yeah, I thought there were some good elements in there. I especially liked how the lady in the theater touched the next person to indicate that she was about to tell them the same thing, but they cut away and didn't actually show it.

What, does no one remember the High Sierra root bug? https://www.macrumors.com/2017/11/28/macos-high-sierra-bug-admin-access/ The root cause was pretty amusing ... if I recall, trying to log into root forced it to update the way it was storing the password for root to a more modern secure method, but it inadvertently enabled the account with the password you provided. This is because since it has no way of knowing what your actual password is, it relied on the hash check succeeding, which is where the bug was, they checked the return code (the check did succeed) but not the actual pass/fail (it succeeded checking, but the password was wrong). found it: https://objective-see.com/blog/blog_0x24.html

Well of course they offer ads in the App Store and stuff, but unlike Alphabet the vast majority of their yearly revenue doesn't come from ads. Proteus Jones posted:What's your alternative?
