So, my 45-year-old friend died (I’m almost certain from the poison shot). It’s very sad as he was wicked smart, super funny (acerbic sense of humor), and a loyal son, brother, and uncle. He was also a raging liberal, but I adored him.
Anyway, I looked at his number on my phone for past text messages, etc. Everything is TOTALLY BLANK! All our humorous correspondences and funny photos dating from several years ago are GONE! THEY want us BLANK — like we never existed. So the point of this post is to SAVE everything. Save and print anything sentimental —every photo, email, text, and all music that is on your phone and computer. Furthermore, save your books, CDs, albums, etc. I’m shocked, but not so shocked. Sorry for the rant! Love to you and yours!
My condolences to you regarding your friend. It's tough having to experience it.
You are so sweet! ThanQ, fren!
Sorry for your loss. Good advice to change digital to analog.
ThanQ so much, pkripper!
Thank you for thinking of all of us in your time of sadness.
You are so sweet, Nightcereus. My friend was very educated with a JD and MA and he was fluent in 3 or 4 languages. He had tremendous ambition and dreams that weren’t yet realized. Even though he was 45, he still had a lot of living to do!
Again, ThanQ so much for your kind words!
Sorry to hear about your friend.
Earlier this week, someone with an Apple phone (new to Apple) shared that his text images disappeared. He showed me text messages where there was only a placeholder where the images should be. His wife said Apple deletes them after 30 days, so you have to download any pictures you want. Not sure if that's accurate, but there are several websites saying that one of the updates created this bug. Haven't had that problem with Android, but I do generally download pictures I'm sent.
Wow! ThanQ so much for this information, fren. TwistedTrees, I think I will soon convert to an android…and then, eventually, a rotary!
Wicked smart = Maine lingo.
Really? I did not know that! Another reason to love Maine!
