That can be both a bug and a feature. No backups mean that there's no cache of deleted emails. Some users may want the ability to truly delete data, not have it able to "appear" due to legal proceedings 5 years from now.
I'd say it's on the users to back up their email using a client that locally caches IMAP folders or downloads via POP3.
Thankfully, VFEmail was primarily an IMAP/POP3 provider. I suspect that the majority of its users had a local backup in the form of an email client with a local store...
I don't support the technological destruction of the non-technical -- I support the non-technicals' right of access to content without the technical acting as petty scolds and nannies.
It's not "free" to do the legwork and jump through hoops like a trained circus monkey for permission to do something that's permission-free on platforms that don't treat their users like wayward children.
Agreed: Germany should be building more nuclear reactors. The Greens are basically right on everything other than their irrational fear of nuclear power.
That's unkind to dogs... more like "sheep" or "lemming." For the record, I love the idea of electric cars, it's just that Tesla's surveillance-heavy, repair-unfriendly implementation sucks.
Sounds like the car isn't maintained properly/well or you got a lemon. Things like mid-2000s Civic sedans can be had for under $4000 here in good shape, especially if you can drive a real transmission (manual)...
You get a TENANT (aka ATM on the hoof) to pay your mortgage. Duplexes in less posh areas often cost the same (or less) than houses in nicer areas. Live in the 2nd floor apartment, rent out the first floor.
If I end up in the situation you speak of, I'd probably just sell everything I own and move to a developing country or Southern/Eastern Europe and live dirt cheaply till I croak of old age...
I'm not sure that you CAN have passcode lock turned on and the theft-prevention features turned off. I'd rather a code-locked phone simply wipe if the code is entered wrong too many times -- the thief can do what they want with the actual phone. As I said, I'm not a coward.
Why does your kid need a $500 plus phone to bring to school? Get him a used Moto for $50, a voice/text/wifi only plan (no data) and teach him that he doesn't need to be on an e-leash 24/7/365 to be happy.
Erasing a phone should be as easy as erasing a computer -- storage module should be removable, and you should be able to reinstall the OS. Encrypt the thing, of course, to prevent data theft. It's terrible that usage of a device that you own (or possess, anyway) is at Apple, Google, or another company's whim...
Yeah, yeah, thieves. Know what? I'm not a coward. And frankly, if my phone is stolen, I'd still rather have it be useful to someone than end up polluting a landfill somewhere in Africa. Gaia first!
You SHOULD always tip in cash. It puts money into the pockets of the workers, and takes it out of the managers' pockets and the pockets of other grubby people who may want a cut.
Opioid use is the symptom, not the illness. We need to figure out why the US is the #1 consumer of opioids per capita in the world -- why, in a country of such abundance, people feel the need to numb their pain and escape their lives.
Used cars only break if you buy the wrong car. Simple mid-90s to 2010 Japanese econoboxes tend to be more reliable than the bloated, overweight, techboxes of today, loaded with electronic shitware that can't be fixed by anyone without special tools and software. Old Camry or Accord is better than almost anything sold today.
As far as Medicaid/insurance, don't move to a state run by conservative twatwaffles. The literal goal should be to live in a duplex, have someone else paying your mortgage, send your kids to public schools, and generally be able to exist on nearly minimum wage if need be.

Small providers catering to privacy-conscious techies may very well care. M$, Scroogle, and the rest of the big corporate scum won't care, of course.
Also, they may only keep backups for a few days for security reasons -- i.e. they want their users to be able to "truly delete" data.

So if you have a company, you should have to pay Dun & Bradstreet for permission to develop internal apps? Fuck your idea.
So check apps for malware/bad behavior, don't censor them for non-violent content. Papa does NOT know best.
They're unlikely to have died from seeing a picture of the relevant organ, though. Which is what we're talking about :D
No, I'm just not rich -- frankly, I can't imagine spending more than $100 on a phone for myself, let alone for family.
I want EVs to succeed, but I also think his control-freak business model and unfriendliness to right-to-repair makes him a shitty human being.

No, I'd stating facts. Teenagers suck. Putting an easily-stolen or easily messed with $500 device into the mix just invites trouble.

Same to you, son, my blessings right back at you...

The point is, you can still say "fuck it" and essentially drop out of doing what society expects you to do.

Who said anything about women? Stay at home dads exist. So can households with two people working 30 hour weeks.
