Quote: Why are they deciding to stop [using blockchain]? Enlightened – and thus former – blockchain developer Mark van Cuijk explained: “You could also use a forklift to put a six-pack of beer on your kitchen counter. But it’s just not very efficient.”
I'm sure I replied with this blockchain explanation video before, but it still makes me laugh!

It seems the latest update to the Lightroom app for iPhone and iPad inadvertently wiped users’ photos and presets that were not already synced to the cloud. Adobe has confirmed that there is no way to get them back. I guess the good news is that they weren't scanning them for later use

What is the best way to "convince" people to upload everything to the cloud where they can do whatever they want with it?
To wipe it and say "I am sorry, it was just a tiny error, it won't happen again... I promise" [crossing fingers in the back]

backups, backups, backups!
For home computers, something like AOMEI backupper (recommended by our very own OG) and an external hard disk. For professionals, a proper local backup server. Given the galloping incompetence among software developers these days, these are absolute minimum requirements. 
Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows.

I prefer Macrium because AOMEI didn't create a boot medium last time I checked.
But yes... I agree with you.
