Quote from: AustinPowers on February 18, 2024, 09:52:16 PMDo you need to  backup your photos before doing an iPhone update?

Will photos , podcasts or apps be lost  after updating?

It's been so long  since I did an update, I can't remember

Depends how long since your last update? If you're jumping up major releases of iOS then I would say yes.

Is it not all backed up to iCloud account anyway? If not, pay for any additional non-free space required, backup and update. You can remove the iCloud storage after but unless you've a massive photo/video library it's so cheap why bother.

People really need to keep devices up to date. The amount of security patches you are potentially missing would be a concern.


I don't use iCloud.  The iPhone says I've used 3 GB on the cloud , but I e no idea how that happened , as I just use the phone memory  to store  photos/videos.

I remember  once moving photos  to my laptop a via windows explorer . So was hoping to do that again , but the windows explorer won't  recognise the iPhone when connected.

Any  way to sort this?

What's be sorted? You can upgrade iOS without deleting the data but it's wise to have a backup in case something goes wrong.

Otherwise just pay for enough additional iCloud storage for a month to cover the backup. Do your upgrade and if successful, cancel the iCloud storage. I wouldn't bother trying to fcuk around manually backing up, you'll waste the 3 quid worth of time which cloud pay for the iCloud storage.

what about him?

Just saw a clip with him and Carragher doing a bit of tactical talk. It didnt seem any worse than having Neville on tbh.

Christ it was nonsense. Neville does analysis on other managers tactics and you don't have to agree with him.

March was analysing himself and espousing his football philosophy, it was delusional grifting at its highest. Not helped either by his over animated leaping around.

Quote from: Armagh18 on February 16, 2024, 11:33:29 AMI think 30-45 minutes is reasonable to have to travel tbh.

That's nonsense, you've just pulled an arbitrary number out of your ass.

Population density is not equal across the north, so you can't guarantee everyone is 45 mins away from a service. By making that a requirement you end up with services that are under/over utilised per catchment area. Marty is right, where health is concerned (rational) people are more than willing to accept a bit of travel for a higher class of treatment.

This is why politician in the north will never do anything radical because of these sort of unrealistic expectations from voters. They'll alway role in behind populist nonsense.

Yes, but they need to ensure that there is public transport to reach the location and that patients are not given appointments at 08:30 that they cannot reach. This type of joined up thinking does not exist.

It would cost less to provide a car to collect and drop off every patient than build/operate a hospital just because public transport is non existent.

Yes it does need joined up thinking and proper logistics planning but now you're into the realms of building out "some unsustainable public transport routes" just in case people may need to access a service. By your logic they still need to be with 30-45mins door to door, which is just not realistic on public transport.

Also trying to predict suitable appointment times based upon their location, transport requirements and service they are availing would be a logistical nightmare. It's unlikely you could easily build interconnected systems to do it due to data privacy/security concerns.

The big problem I see is trying to solve logistics problem equally for everyone at the expense of the health service quality. The person who has a bus route outside their front door which drops off at the hospital 10 mins away is different than the person with no public transport routes (or private transport option) living 1 hour away. Yet if you offer a driver service for the person that requires it, the person who is 10 mins away will expect the same regardless of their circumstances. Blah blah, I pay national insurance ect.... You can't win.

No one resents her apart from a few angry middle aged white male twats. Sure they resent everything at the moment.

She is arguably one of the most recognisable people on the planet at this moment. I for one am a fan. She should wind trump up more by announcing she is standing for president.

Now the dust has settled and whether you believe it or not, everyone needs to subtly maintain the narrative that the DUP sold out and there still is an Irish Sea border. Time to twist the knife  ;D

As I said, there are loads of hidden costs and risks if dealing with cash, and when not evading tax. I'd like someone to do a realistic comparison, and not just the usual hyperbole about how a the payment providers are screwing them.

Yes I want a cash discount if you are going to avoid putting its through the books as one you are not paying VAT and should not be collecting it etc....

Quote from: tiempo on January 22, 2024, 01:04:51 PMCaught a quick video on Rory Beggan moving to NFL, great opportunity hope he gets a break and makes a stack of cash

Got me wondering, in all honesty, you'd have Beggan over Onana right?
Not even a question.
Not even a question because it's nonsense. I'm looking forward to his Ireland call up during the next international break.
I don't know, Beggan be a lot better under a high ball!

Beggan ten times the keeper, first of all he doesn't shit his cacks at sight of a ball
Fair play to him for turning down all the multi million contracts. Legend.
he wouldn't have made 90% of the mistakes that Onana clown has this year!

I love this delusional sh1te. He wouldn't have a chance to make mistakes as he wouldn't be anywhere near starting a match.

If he was anywhere near good enough, he'd have been scouted and playing lower league stuff.

He's literally gone from GAA to NFL following a combine, hasn't even played a game as far as anyone knows, no need for minor leagues

Don't recall Kevin Moran playing lower league in England prior to Utd

Its hardly much of a leap to say he'd fare better than the other buck eejit

And to think Onana has at least 2 understudies, the must be sort a couple of limbs to be benched for thon

FFS because he can kick a ball far ::)

So now NFL players are better than professional footballers. It is a massive leap, especially considering the Onana's previous season with Inter.

Beggan, like the vast majority of GAA players, would not be good enough. I don't agree his shot stopping would be good enough as he wouldn't have the same ability to read the game and anticipate the danger, especially at the pace modern football is played at.

What's the comparison with the transaction fees vs all the other hidden costs with dealing with cash?

Having to have use 2 staff at a time to lodge cash into a bank account, storing cash until it's lodged, insurance premiums for holding cash on premises and transporting to bank, transport etc.... are all hidden costs that amount up.

No doubt the "payment providers" are making money but then again they are accruing a portion of the risk from electronic payment processing. With cash until it's lodged, then risk is all on the business.

Quote from: AustinPowers on January 24, 2024, 06:27:26 PMSo Jeffrey was  threatened , by  an unnamed person(s).  Very convenient  ::)

So now he's  reduced the heat on himself and Colm  Eastwood even coming  out in support of him.

He should have  turned on the tears as well. That  would have  put the tin hat on it

Threatened by an unknown person who, when he checked hadn't voted!
How can he check if someone voted? I thought that was anonymous?
Can't be an unknown person if he knows them!

Whole thing is a deflection....ironic give  he said he wouldn't be deflected.

No sympathy for him, I don't condone threats, I mean the situation he and the dup are in. Its self made and we are all suffering for their party politics.

The person who didn't vote is wee Seamie I suspect. On the day of the election is was gurning as there was a Rangers game on that day and he was not able to vote,  according to him,  as he was away at the game. The references by wee Jeff and CCH to people on twitter is a clear shot at Bryson.

While I have little sympathy for Donaldson maybe he has grown a pair and publicly now has stood up to the back room bullies. Very pointed sitting in the HoC with all the DUP members in a row expect Junior sitting directly behind wee Jeff in the eye of the camera.

That's it. He's saying the exact thing we've all been saying, Bryson (and the rest) doesn't have a mandate so why are people giving any sort of credence to his incitement. Something he should have called out long ago and called the media out on over the disproportionate amount of coverage afforded to him.

No sympathy, and I suspect whatever happens it's the end of the DUP or any unionist party ever being the biggest party in the North as this will split the unionist/loyalist voting. Cue Stormont up and down while they come to terms with this.
