Stephen Robles
The exact moment @macsparky regretted inviting me to the show, and sounded like a mob boss all at the same time:

Show threadPeter CohenFeb 23
@stephenrobles @macsparky "Stephen, you're becoming a personal project to me" literally had me LOLing.
Show threadJohn SiracusaFeb 23
@stephenrobles @macsparky Oh nooooooo. iCloud Drive is not a backup!
Show threadStephen RoblesFeb 23
@siracusa Ah, it's fine! Plus, I copy some stuff to a NAS, so there's that 😅
Show threadMichael SolisFeb 24
@stephenrobles @siracusa I’m mean at least do a super duper backup. I have no tech experience and I do that. It’s saved me twice in ten years, well worth it.
Show threadashpoleFeb 24
@stephenrobles @siracusa So bad!
Show threadKevin Patrick Doyle 🍅🥫Feb 24
@siracusa @stephenrobles @macsparky I know I have been listening to @atpfm for a long time because the “noooooooooo” in my head was voiced by John
Show threadRyan AshcraftFeb 23
@stephenrobles @macsparky 🤣
Show threadMacSparkyFeb 23
@stephenrobles Yes .. now that we’re doing video, you actually get to see the expression on my face at that moment. The visual equivalent of WTF?
Show threadChance MillerFeb 23
@stephenrobles @macsparky I’m with Stephen on this one, iCloud Drive is fine
Show threadStephen RoblesFeb 24
@ChanceHMiller That’s right!
Show threadFlorian TaltavullFeb 24
@ChanceHMiller @stephenrobles @macsparky Of course it’s *fine*, but who among us is OK with *fine* in this area‽ 😱🤪
Show threadAaronFeb 25
@ChanceHMiller Haha but it’s a syncing provider, not a backup ❤️🫣
Show threadAdam Garrett-HarrisFeb 23
@stephenrobles You have a beautiful family. It would be a shame if something happened to them. 😆
Show threadDavid JarmanFeb 23
@stephenrobles @macsparky I’ve an old Time Capsule under the spare bed. Will happily mail it from Edinburgh to Florida to get you up and running.
Show threadStephen RoblesFeb 24
@davidjarman haha I got 2x NAS’s! I’ll figure it out 😉

@Cliff538 oh this looks awesome! Thank you!
Show threadcliff538Feb 24
@stephenrobles I've been using it for several months now; my entire iCloud backs up to the local NAS.
(of course, only if the @macsparky Mob boss approves!)
Show threadJason BeckerFeb 23
@stephenrobles @macsparky I, and much of the audience, absolutely started yelling at our desks/in our cars/on our dog walks.

@stephenrobles The exact moment someone who cares about you tried to save you from yourself.

@stephenrobles @macsparky OH NO
Show threadMichael SolisFeb 24
@stephenrobles lol “I’m not satisfied” is just such a funny way of putting it.
Show threadTodd VaziriFeb 24
@stephenrobles @macsparky @imyke STEPHEN WHAT THE F
Show threadStephen RoblesFeb 24
@tvaziri @macsparky @imyke IT'S IN THE CLOUD
Show threadDavid ShenemanFeb 25
@stephenrobles @tvaziri @macsparky @imyke you know clouds dissipate, right? Don't want your data dissipating, too.
Show threadBrent YorkFeb 25
@stephenrobles @macsparky yeah I cringed and could hear @siracusa “iCloud is not a backup!” Very funny though. Take some of that HomeKit money and buy more backup 😎
Show threadGrievous AngelFeb 25
@stephenrobles @macsparky Absolutely superb
