I think you and I have vastly different ideas about what "giving" means.
I get 5GB of iCloud storage, unless I pay them £6.99/month for 2TB. No idea what the rate is over 2TB.
Have I missed a trick to getting this 2TB+?
(I have 7 Apple devices in my possession and have owned a further 2 that I've passed on to my kids; given the premium I paid for those I almost expect that I should get 5GB PER DEVICE, but of course that's fairly unreasonable in reality)
Your reaction is derailment because you grabbed the wheel and steered the topic down a road about you and your expectations of discussion standards.
Part of respectable human interaction includes humorous, short and sharp casual responses on occasion. In this case, the post was replying to someone who called Apple's storage limit "pretty useless"... so we're well and truly in the fun zone of casual conversation. Not sure what you're seeking, the equivalent of a formal meeting with diplomats and official representatives?
You then add on hyperbole to end of your reply that I'm expecting some sort of formal discourse. I'm commenting on the "linux distros", which seems irrelevant. Putting a ;)
Just imagine if more people made these sorts of quips out of the blue and how crap it would make the forum over time?
I wasn't aware linux distros would push the limits of 4TB cloud storage, so for me it was micro-informative. I also wasn't insinuating, I was asking you directly how much formality you want in online tech discussions.
All good. I don't want to drown in cheap karma-harvesting reddit posts either, but I don't see that happening here.
When "snark" is measured like spice in cooking, it adds flavour. I'm not suggesting popping the lid and dumping a jar of snark in the broth!
They do make a family plan for Apple Plus ($30/month) fairly compelling: 2TB per family member, Apple TV both has some good original content as well as serving as a quick index into most other stream services, the Arcade Games are fun enough, Fitness+ is something I use about 90 minutes a week, and Apple Music. That is a lot of “stuff.”
Then there are some things that Apple gives away for free. Their podcast app is free and lets you subscribe to a lot of interesting stuff that I might otherwise subscribe to Spotify for. Handoff saves me about 5 minutes a day. Anyway, I don’t much like the walled garden aspect of Apple, but for value and convenience they must be difficult to compete against.
