With 38,000 auto fatalities in the US every year, and 1.24 million world wide.  One fender bender (Apple), and one fatality (Uber) doesn't really look that bad.

Am I the only one not grumpy? I think this thing looks awesome. 


No, I pre ordered mine/w adapter this morning.  Hopefully it'll be here by the first of Oct.

  By this criterion Backblaze by itself is not a backup, since it just keeps the current version of all files.  It is really just the offsite component of a backup.

I believe back blaze keeps deleted files for 30 days, if you are using their backup plan.  I have a B2 cloud account using chronosync to to incrementally backup two computers.  Which is less expensive than using the backup plan for two computers.  With the B2 cloud account you set how long deleted files are kept before they are actually deleted.  Initially they are just hidden from view.  At present I have it set for 60 days.

Chronosync will keep deleted files for as long as you would like.  Its selectable from deleting immediately to keeping as many versions as you want.  How long you would like to keep them, or pruning the number of versions after a time (all user selectable).

Am I the only one here who continues to use Apple's AirPort Extreme and find it meets all of my needs?

No I'm pleased with both mine, and intend to use them until forced to replace.  Since its now a "legacy" device abandon by its manufacture the thought does go through my mind  "when the time comes would this be a suitable replacement?".  Many things may happen overtime.  Un patched security flaws, new standards/features added to wi-fi etc....  Eventually they will have to go.

I've been keeping my eye open for a replacements. I have two Airport Extreme units that I use in bridge mode as AP's.  Unfortunately not having a bridge mode makes these units a non-starter.  I use a very secure router in front of my cable mode.  In order to be able to provide the max security it needs to assign the IP address. I can provide the router with a device mac address and have it assign a specific IP address, thus simulating a static address.  The impression I get is that this will not work on these units.
