• iCloud.com Is Down

  The web page itself at https://icloud.com/ comes up, but trying to login renders "Connection error iCloud encountered an error while trying to connect to the server". - Source: Hacker News / 2 months ago

• I’ve been using Apple for six years and switching over to the OnePlus open. Ordered it this morning and it says it will be here on Thursday. I’m stoked! Any suggestions on the first thing I should do when getting it? Also is the transition to android from iPhone challenging?

  I purchased two apps from the Google play store that keep continues to sync my Apple Calendar and sync my Apple Contacts. I have a lot of already shared calendars with family that I didn't want to have to re-share with Google Calendar, and I wanted to be able to sync contact changes easily from Apple devices. I have used them for quite some time and they work great. Only one thing you need to know for setting... Source: 5 months ago

• iOS 17.2 RC: there's now a GUI for "messages in iCloud"

  I meant to say, right now there are services operating on iCloud.com, right? Could it be the case that those services operate without end-to-end encryption? Not sure, but I don't think so. My understanding is, iCloud.com shouldn't be the obstacle for end-to-end encryption. Didn't mean to say to disable it all together. Source: 5 months ago

• iOS 17.2 RC: there's now a GUI for "messages in iCloud"

  I can't believe Apple can't figure it out. How the rest icloud.com services operate right now? Without end to end encryption? Source: 5 months ago

• Roundcube Open-Source Webmail Software Merges with Nextcloud

  You might want to check out ownCloud[0] if you're purely interested in file sharing. Its all open source and you can run your own server. I can't attest to how well it runs currently, as I haven't used it for a few years, but I used it a couple years ago and it was pretty solid [0]: https://owncloud.com/. - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

• What's your web browser based access to file system?

  I am not interested in complex cloud hosting systems like https://www.seafile.com/en/home/, https://nextcloud.com/, https://owncloud.com/. I run some cloud software (forgot the name) in the past and it was very inefficient at synchronizing, Seafile was great with synchronization, but recovery was painful. Source: 10 months ago

• All Ford EV will have access to Tesla Supercharger network

  Also just because something is "free" doesn't mean it is cheaper. I can run a free Owncloud but it might be cheaper to pay someone else to run my server while I focus on my solution. USB-A could be patent free and USB-C may have a small royalty but the UX and cost of manufacture may make USB-C still cheaper. I would be curious what the end agreement money exchange between Ford and Tesla was but I don't think we... Source: 11 months ago

• Transitioning Away from Google Services

  I've been hooked on some Google services since 2010 when I got a Nexus One phone. I liked the calendar and contacts because they were accessible from my other devices. I ported a few of my phone numbers to Google Voice shortly afterward and I liked being able to access voicemail and SMS from my other devices. Sometime last year I noticed that Google Calendar was acting up with Thunderbird so I decided to migrate... - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago
