Losing Music, Photos, and File sharing, along with reliable backups, is a downgrade enough.

It is pretty clear that you have no idea about the level of seamless integration between iPhone and Windows via iTunes, from Music to Photos and file sharing.

I have no idea how being able to share something right on the iPhone or via browser on Windows has to do with this.

Russia is one of Europe's major trading partner. This issue is also the same for Australia, where they go against their largest trading partner to appease the US Empire.

If you read my first comment carefully beyond "Backups" and respond, I might bother to explain more, until then.

Not patting myself on the back for accepting some kind of notion that "I am too stupid to consider what is this all about and go about my life with that understanding."

The administration is pretty clear that this is about oil. So i am not sure why people are making up other excuses?

Relevance is relative.

In the presence of more similar experiments, only with pure dogma or dishonesty that one can opt to infer the outcome based on far less similar and even less contemporaneous experiments.

Your response and the parent sounds like the comments on DropBox thread. It is detached from reality of consumers and fails to contribute direction that can actually move the needle.

No.

Every sovereign nation should do. The notion that uppercase D "Democracy" is the only valid type of sovereign state is uppercase L liberalism propaganda.

Backups. Copying photos. Sharing files. As a Mac User, you're probably well served with backups integration in Finder, as well as iCloud, AirDrop, iMessage, and friends without realising it.

Do you know the "standard technique of privatization"? Sanctions are the "Defund" aspect of that for American Imperialism. The woes of Venezuelans are largely economic and a product of the sanctions.
