Moar randomness… does anyone have a favorite USB keyboard that has USB passthroughs? (As in, has USB plugs of its own to plug other things into, like mouse, headphone dongle, etc.) Ergonomic maybe ok, but I don’t do tons of typing so it isn’t necessary, and actually, I don’t want a giant keyboard and smaller is better. Trying to get more standard USB plugs, because the laptop dock won’t have enough, and I’d rather not buy even more thunderbolt adapters… Work is paying for it, but I don’t want to spend a lot for just a keyboard (they did just send me an expensive monitor).
What methods do people use to backup their phones?
I haven’t backed up my phone since I got it four years ago. Yes, I am living on borrowed time. I have an iPhone SE (one of the old SE’s, not the new one that just came out, obviously).
As I see it my options are:
manually backup to my computer using iTunes
pay $3/mo for iCloud automatic backup
Are there other options I’m missing? I am hesitant to pay for cloud-based backup when there is a perfectly good free way to do it. But clearly I don’t backup enough when left to my own devices. I never use iTunes or connect my phone to my computer, so I just don’t think to do it.
If what I just wrote stressed you out, definitely don't read this
I also have a $1 case on it from the Dollar Tree and no screen protector. I am living dangerously over here!
I only backup my photos, and I use google photo for that. (iPhone). Everything else that matters to me I have offsite copies. I don’t use notes, for example.
I manually move my photos to my computer every so often. There is nothing else stored on my phone that isn’t also somewhere else. Like email is internet based and all the files and attachments on my phone probably originated in an email.
My SE, same general age as yours, is backed up using iCloud and I don’t have to pay for it. It may just be that I have a very small amount of data, I don’t know? Are you sure you have to pay? Or maybe I’m grandfathered in since I started with an iCloud account backing up my first generation iPad?
Anyone have advice on how to buy company branded swag from a union shop? Google brought me to Cafe Press which seems… wrong. Black owned custom printed corporate swag business also welcome but not really represented by the black owned business directories.
I’ve been using runkeeper for 7 or 8 years as my running app, but they have a paywall for seeing your splits + utilizing their half-marathon training program. I’m considering moving to Nike Run Club.
Anyone have a preference? Mapmyrun, Strava, Nike Run Club, Runkeeper?
Dear people who have brains that work differently than mine… I have this “hidden” pile of hollow aluminum rods behind my shed (and access to hundreds more) that I want to turn into the walls for a raised bed garden.
How can I do this using them horizontally?
Weave them together somehow?
Shape them and clamp them at the ends onto a framing somehow?
But maybe that’s my best bet…
