What really grinds my gears is that metadata on pictures you have in iCloud gets stripped when downloading to Windows. I take pictures of stuff for work and label them to know what the hell I’m looking at, but the descriptions disappear on file transfer.

So I gotta either:

• Re-add in the description in the metadata

• Label something else, like a sheet of paper or something and put it in the frame

• Manually name each individual file after transfer, which is just as laborious as adding back in the metadata.

The Son of Eric must have been really good phonesmith.

I’m sure they won’t notice a few rolls of toilet paper going missing.

I’ve got a book that has been out of print for decades that I’ve painstakingly scanned in page by page. Is there a way I can donate it to the archive?

Perhaps. But by then it certainly would be the year of the Linux desktop by then. What other operating system can handle years that long, starting from Jan 1, 1970 to Jan 1, 6.460263446E+5814. Linux, that’s what.
