@pomagarnet@chaos.social if any component of my computer dies other than the SSD itself, I can move the SSD to another computer and transfer the data (and depending on what died there's a chance I can relatively easily replace it and get it working again). if any component of my phone dies, I have no idea how I'd get the data off of the eMMC (and I can't even open it up to replace any components because it's all glued together)

@noisytoot@berkeley.edu.pl I agree with you and I'm all for replaceable interoperable parts it's about expectations: I expect a phone to die (via river, being stolen, sniffed by cops) so I backup often, but the threat never comes. vs: I expect computers to be safe, so I chill out, but they betray me and randomly die without cause (as famfo is dealing with rn)
