An Apple fan who has spent “nearly 30 years as a loyal customer” says they’ve been “permanently” locked out of their Apple Account due to what might be the overzealous actions of Apple’s automated anti-fraud system. It’s left them locked out of “20 years of digital life,” and it all started with the seemingly straightforward purchase of an Apple gift card.

    then people Microsoft go and delete the other copies leaving just the cloud,

    Line Microsoft Onedrive repeatedly forcefully and silently enabling on-demand constantly, then occasionally fucking up and deleting unsynced files

      Yeah stuff like that, but also the locally synced copy I would not trust no matter what as really any sync software can suddenly delete or corrupt files. Best to have at least 2 actual backups in place that are versioned and done daily or every few hours.
