My phone is coupled with my laptop. All my settings are backed up. All my docs, pics, music, random files all are synced with “cloud”. If my laptop or my phone gets hit by a bus I will go to the nearest shop, get a new device and get it set up from backup within an hour.

I delegated the fine tuning and customization to a third party once I realized I don’t have time for it anymore.

I am fine with it although it is not ideal and there is room for improvement. There is always some. Everywhere.

Please ping me from future when Linux (or Fuchsia or whatever is there in the second half of 2020s) is capable of that as well and there are vendors/providers who are honest, dependable and trusted who I can allow to store my data, identity and privacy and have good sleep.

Cheers.
