Tjaaaa, wenn man das eine Passwort für den Passwort-Safe nicht mehr weiß, hat man ein Problem.
Eine nette ältere Dame, für die ich den Rechner warte, hat das eine wichtige Passwort leider vergessen und nicht sonstwo aufgeschrieben.
Nun sind alle Accounts weg: E-Mail, Internet-Provider, Handy-Provider, Programme, Backups, ...
Das Apple-Account fürs Handy ist noch wackelig: PW-Reset am iPhone funktionierte aber am neuen iPhone wird das neue PW nicht akzeptiert. 🤷

A study estimates the iPhone's diffusion explains 33%-52% of the decline in US births from 2007 to 2011, with the most pronounced effects among women aged 15-24 (Sabrina Tavernise/New York Times)

"J.P. Morgan, modeling what the buildout would need to earn to clear a ten percent return on current capital expenditure, arrived at roughly six hundred fifty billion dollars per year in AI-sector revenue — the equivalent of thirty-five dollars per month, in perpetuity, from every iPhone user on earth. The current run-rate is about twenty-five billion. The gap is twenty-six-fold. "

I regularly drag my feet on some upgrades, but this is getting a bit ridiculous. I'm using an iPhone 13 Mini because my tiny hands can't hold the giant phablets. And iOS 18.7.2, because I hate the AI junk crammed into everything and don't want nauseating translucent UI effects. But there's a lot of security bugs lately that might demand something to change. Uggghh.
I wish portable pocket computers were less capable and had more battery life.

I mean the things like "when's my next [event] again?" [Response] "oh, please set up a reminder for two days before that telling me to buy [stuff]"
I use ("dumb") Siri on Home Pod (and on my iPhone before I migrated away from iOS, like to set reminders for the next day without getting distracted or getting light im my face while on bed trying to sleep) to set timers and stuff when I don't have a device at hand, as well as for turning off my living room lights via the Home Assistant integration when going to bed (since the switch is far from the hallway), so these extra features would be really cool specially if it was something local, open source and with integration with stuff in my NAS.

But of course this hope is not emperically founded and, well, just an unrealistic hope. And this ties in with the greater picture of technology. "Tech" has become a slur.
Find a tech CEO who is an inspiring personality on the Steve Jobs level.
Find a current technology that inspires people to do great things and to be the best version of themselves?
There are these things in niches, but not on the scale of the iPhone, say.

This isn’t even the first time I get a “full storage” error due to this on this iPhone, a few weeks ago I had to enable that awful “automatically offload unused apps” setting (that offloads a bunch of not-unused apps) in order to open up storage. And now all storage that freed up is filled with “System Data” too. Awesome software, trillion dollar company.
Ugh I couldn’t be more excited to migrate to postmarketOS next month.
