Mobile browser tabs are both too persistent in that they don’t get cleaned up when you close the browser, and too amnesiac in that they can kill a connection if they are placed in background for even a couple of seconds.
Its the worst of both worlds.

I know a few people who have a HDD exchange going. A couple of times a year they drop off a HDD with their current backup at a friends house, then take the old one home to use next time.
It offline, so it can’t be accessed easily but its also protected from device failure,power surges, etc.
Its no good as a daily backup but its fine for static data e.g. videos of the kids as they were growing up.
If its just a HDD in a static proof bag it doesn’t take much room and can be stored easily.
Its got issues but it does offer a cheep offsite backup
It doesn’t look good
https://www.pcloud.com/terms_and_conditions.html
pCloud has a fourteen (14) calendar days money back guarantee, beginning on the day you have submitted your payment for the Paid services. During this period, you are eligible to request for a refund. If you issue an explicit written request for a refund within the fourteen (14) days referenced above, we will process the refund due to you in full within 30 calendar days, counting from the day you have confirmed your request.
We will usually refund any money received from you using the same method originally used by you to pay for your purchase.
In case you have purchased Paid services through a promotional campaign or provided discount, pCloud reserves the right to decline providing a refund.
I just used web archive to check the site on three random days in 2024 and it looks like they always have a promotion and could claim any purchases are ineligable for the money back guarantee.
Termination
We reserve the right not to provide the Site or Services to any user. We also reserve the right to terminate any user’s right to access the Site or Services at any time, in our discretion. If you breach any of these Terms, your permission to use the Site and Services and your account automatically terminate. If pCloud ceases operation, your account will be terminated and pCloud will no longer provide the Site or Services. If your account is terminated in accordance with this section, you will not receive any refund of any fees paid for the account.
And they can decide to stop your service at any time.
There are on going costs with running the service so if new customers stopped signing up they would go broke when they run out of money. (i.e. like a ponzi scheme)
Unless they invest your seed capital and pay for your services from growth. This would work when times are good, but could fall apart during any significant financial crisis.
The current offer for the named service is asking for us$800 for 10TB, if they followed the 5% rule that would leave them with us$40 per year to provide the service.
Agreed, even if you limit yourself to major tentpole content its impossible to keep up.
But if you look at the uploads to major digital distribution platforms its incredible how much content is being produced:
Moderates no longer have a say.
Many view the democrats as being right of centre already and that “moderates” are largely unrepresented because both parties lean right.
As a related phenomenon the Addams Family set was painted in colour so that each element would show distinctly on black and white television.
This probably depends on what you mean by “shut down”.
My share menu default to text with file based share as a secondary option.
For live action TV its probably easier to just use retail units but for animation it allows them to use only the aspects they are interested in while not getting bogged down in the realities of the console/controller design or the actual gameplay scenarios.
Of course it also allows for the title to function as a joke too, and makes for a more timeless product than a current year pop culture reference.

Huh, TIL.
Here in Australia every house I’ve been in that has an electrical connection has had a light of some form mounted on the ceiling of each room of the main structure.
It just shows how any assumptions we might make will be proved wrong at a global scale.
The meme about googling site:Reddit comes out of how deeply shitty Google has let their search engine become.
It was two-part, the other side was that reddit’s own search was so crap people use google search instead.
A single copy of the Internet Archive library collection occupies 145+ Petabytes of server space – and we store at least 2 copies of everything).
People should think of how they can contribute to society
I think that is the discussion that was happening here?
At that point you might as well build another set of roads above the current street level.
Repeat as needed.
Yeah, if you want to have a master list of games available to install then the purchases have to be under one account.
Otherwise each account will see their own list of available titles, if purchases are arbitrary then these lists may appear random.
I have 99% of my family’s games on my account but have placed titles gifted to or purchased by my 8yo on his account. This isn’t important now while we share a loungeroom and set of consoles but as he grows up we will need to separate our libraries at some point.
* technically each account can have one primary ps4 and one primary ps5, in the cross gen period people you use this to lend their ps4 console and library to family/friends but that isn’t so relevant today.
Edit:
For digital purchases the owning account can login to other non-primary consoles and access their library there (for the duration of the login session). This can be used to share the library when visiting other households but does require careful consideration about who should own each title.
Phone numbers are a “legacy system” if they were designed today they would be different.
