One would’ve thought the organization that stands for open source software to be quite democratic. Seems that may not be the case.

I’m not American, but why would a rental agency need a customer’s SSN?

You won’t lose them if you back them up. SMS Backup and Restore can automate the task for you.

1. Don’t go to the United States

If you really have to…

1. Backup phone.
2. Factory reset (make sure you really backed up everything)
3. Install only essential apps (not from backup). Don’t log into anything.
4. Cross border. (you just got a new phone and haven’t set it up yet)
5. Restore backup.

Ah, yes that’d probably be a good idea.

I’m not sure I understand. Whatever machine is hosting the Immich server will be doing all the processing. Uploading to there will go as fast as your internet connection/storage speed can go, and ML processing will be based on the processing power of the server. You can also manage the ML tasks if you want (Administration > Jobs and/or Settings).

The first big import will always take time if you have a lot of photos, as will the associated machine learning processing. I’d say you don’t need a GPU like that for normal use though.

I thought that too, but perhaps it’s meant to be an underline.

I heard a podcast with the author of this book and the conclusion was similar. He recommends no smartphone before 16. Dumb phones for communication can be whenever.

I haven’t read the book yet, but the podcast discussion was fairly informative. I think it was Hidden Brain’s Escaping the Matrix episode.

Yeah I usually just follow the “try another instance” links until one works.
