  Stolen iPhones are locked into a specific Apple account and they tell you the name of that Apple account on the screen that asks for the password.

  You can take that account name and simply iMessage the original owner from another device.

  1. I marvel a bit at the 52 GB blob. Don’t you think you could maybe trim back to the past x thousand messages in your chats? Or delete some media?

  2. I think tge decision is not because they want to hurt iOS users but because the iOS file system is extremely handicapped and the iOS cloud backup is not e2e-encrypted.

  Ah yes. The misunderstanding they are talking about is that content posted on internet platforms still belongs to the author in any way, I guess.

  Granted, SO has always used wiki comments and CC licenses. They were upfront about it, mostly.

  She said: "I think we should be using apostrophes.

  “If you start losing things like that then everything goes downhill doesn’t it?”

  Lol. Brexit is the thing she should be worried about. Not apostrophes on street signs.
