I recently picked up an iPhone as a secondary device, pretty much immediately disabled iCloud and installed Mobius (Syncthing) so the photos get sync’ed over to my fairphone’s SD card.
Now i’m second guessing whether it’s actually disabled, or if I’m going to get an iCloud full warning in a couple of months…
I did this with all my PS1 games a while back, ran into a ton of unreadable ones. Managed to read some scratched ones by trying out four different drives, but some sadly fell victim to disk rot ☹️
o7 thanks for the memories I guess!
