the use case where you don't use icloud for whatever reason and then A Thing Happens to the phone and now you want your stuff back but you also don't feel like clicking the little cloud download in Purchased, because there's 12,595 lovely apps in it now and 20 good ones

when you need to restore your phone (in the instance of, oh say an ios update) so it only takes about 20 minutes rather than 90+ with multiple device wipes plus the additional time of redownloading every app

it would be cool if it at least saved a list of the apps you had installed when you backed up your phone so it could redownload them if it had to. the whole app syncing thing just seems like a holdover from the ipod

i forget how PC backup+restore works but icloud you just tell it "yeah restore this image" and over the next 30/45mins you can start using your phone while apps are downloaded and you just have to re-enter passwords for various things

South Hills Village used to have a barber shop calls My Father's Mustache. Then Dick's Sporting Goods moved in next door. They had to close the barber shop because it was unseemly to have Dicks by My Father's Mustache.

i still don't understand what motivates people to wait in line for hours or even full days for the sake of buying something you could have ordered online like two weeks ago.

it's bizarre. it's clearly not even instant gratification, since they're waiting in goddamn line for the thing.

i guess if you were trying to buy the phone cash or something, but who even does that?

maybe it's just something people are used to

hell they stand in a couple hours long lines for donuts in portland

people do a lot of stupid poo poo in portland.

i'm talking about people who aren't from the hipster capital of the universe

it's somewhat understandable, if not really any less stupid, when people camp out for black friday sales or whatever the gently caress. it makes a certin amount of sense at least, in that you have to be physically present to buy the stuff that's on sale and the sooner you get in, the better the selection will be.

but none of that is even remotely comparable here. you'd have it sooner and without spending 16 hours in a line at the loving mall by just pre-ordering it off the apple site. there is no conceivable reason why you would wait in line for multiple hours to buy the thing in person.

As the audience reluctantly began to applaud during the silence, Biden tried to fix his remarks.

"Wealthy kids, black kids, Asian kids -- no, I really mean it." Biden said.

it works really well. If you restart your phone you have to roll back your date a day then launch it, but you can set it right back and it works until you power your phone down again
