Love homeowners associations. When we told them we removed a tree they wanted to know what we were going to replace it with. Have they seen how many trees we have on our property? And did they have any clue that the tree we removed could have caused property damage if we didn't? ?
The Alcatel OneTouch Flint and the iPhone 6s+ are similarly sized but definitely not similarly priced.
@kdfrawg that's the point of backups: you never want to have to access them, but if you do, they're there.

@nitinkhanna As long as you don't need to access them regularly, yes.
// @kdfrawg
@nitinkhanna Since you're paying for another copy of the file, yes: extra storage.

@nitinkhanna it's a shame. That said, the same thing that enables that creativity also enables hackers to do nefarious things.
@kdfrawg As with anything Amazon, S3 (Glacier) is "do it yourself." It's basically meant for data that doesn't change often and doesn't necessarily need to be accessed regularly. The pricing is designed to reflect this use case.
When you request a restore of specific files, they are not immediately available. Amazon will copy the files over to a regular S3 bucket in several hours. Then you can copy the data wherever it needs to go.

@kdfrawg The other thing you get with S3 Glacier (which I should enable now that I think about it) is file revisions. Really important if you get hit with something like ransomware which encrypts ALL your files.

@nitinkhanna there's two sides to that coin:
- Jailbreaks are harder to come by these days as the OS has gotten significantly more secure
- Apple added most of the reasons for jailbreaking to iOS directly, making the motivation small
The only I reason I did it back in the day was to unlock my iPhone 3GS, this being before Apple and AT&T offered the capability. Because I used a modified iPad bootloader to do it, it made my phone painful to upgrade for almost two years.
