    So the new phones arrived yesterday. I got them setup which was a breeze. I was actually impressed. The only thing that pissed me off about it was that after the transfer from the old phone to the new phone, is that all of the saved data from the games I play wasn’t transferred over. Some of them have cloud storage built into the game, but a couple of the games I play don’t have that and I was really far into the game. Well, that data did not copy over and wouldn’t. So I guess I am done playing those games, because I’m not starting over. So that was the only thing that didn’t work.

    Otherwise the phone seems to be working great. It doesn’t have the rounded edges like the old one, which I actually like better. It isn’t quite as tall as the old one, but it seems like there is more screen area. It runs very smooth as well and fast. I haven’t gotten into the AI part of it yet, so once I start playing with that and seeing what it’s capabilities are and if it is actually helpful, I will let you know.

    @Madchatthew Good summary. Pity about the game though. You’d have thought they would have copied over.

    @phenomlab Yeah I agree. Then I went to go play it and all the progress is gone. Not sure why all of that data wouldn’t have transferred over. I told it to transfer all as well. So a little deceiving there, cause it actually doesn’t do all. I was quite disappointed.

    @phenomlab I used the cable to connect the two phones and used smart switch to do the transfer

    @Madchatthew crazy it doesn’t work as it should. I see no real reason as to why it didn’t copy over unless the storage was perhaps encrypted?

    @phenomlab that is possible but I never specifically told it to be encyrpted, but maybe through the apps themselves? I thought it was really weird that it didn’t copy the entirety of the apps over.

    @Madchatthew it’s the only explanation I have aside from configuration.

    @phenomlab yeah and that makes sense. I wish I would have noticed it before i wiped the old phone and packaged it up to send back. Then I could have tried a different method for transferring the data. Oh well, ya live and ya learn I guess 🙂

    @JAC wow. Thanks for the great comments. They are truly appreciated. I tend to agree with the social media comments you’ve made. This is made all the more prominent in relation to recent events in Southport for example, and toxicity is a huge issue. Just look at some of the comments from trolls - they are truly disgusting, and the perpetrators seem to take great delight in the anonymity the Internet affords them. forums in general are much more subject focused, easier to moderate and users are less likely to be banned because they are there for a specific interest or reason, not to cause trouble. Agreed, although discussions can still get out of hand and quite often, these are left to run riot and quickly spiral out of control. A great example of that is here https://sudonix.org/topic/141/how-to-destroy-a-community-before-it-s-even-built there’s something much more calming about coming to a specific page at your fancy, posting and taking part in healthy debates over the real mishmash of social media. Yes, I personally prefer the atmosphere of a forum against the backdrop of unwanted noise via social media.

    @phenomlab yeah you have a good point there. Information over lives just doesn’t seem to be worth it. And being the one to release that info and be the one who first put it out there, you may be on the right track about the notoriety.

    @crazycells hi - no security reason, or anything specific in this case. However, the nginx.conf I posted was from my Dev environment which uses this port as a way of not interfering with production. And yes, I use clustering on this site with three instances.
