[2194.68 --> 2197.18] that's going to drain battery, |
[2197.32 --> 2198.04] unlike Android |
[2198.04 --> 2199.26] that's a lot more permissive. |
[2199.60 --> 2201.16] It means you can't run |
[2201.16 --> 2202.08] stuff like |
[2202.08 --> 2203.50] Resilio Sync |
[2203.50 --> 2204.46] or Sync thing |
[2204.46 --> 2205.48] very effectively, |
[2205.74 --> 2206.46] or there's another one |
[2206.46 --> 2206.84] on Android |
[2206.84 --> 2207.90] called Folder Sync. |
[2207.90 --> 2209.46] And so, |
[2209.92 --> 2211.54] this neat app |
[2211.54 --> 2212.30] is actually called |
[2212.30 --> 2214.34] Gimme-iPhotos, |
[2214.42 --> 2215.64] which is kind of a funny name. |
[2216.20 --> 2217.44] And this sidesteps |
[2217.44 --> 2219.02] all of iOS's problems |
[2219.02 --> 2221.26] with backgrounding APIs |
[2221.26 --> 2222.08] and on-device, |
[2222.42 --> 2222.76] you know, |
[2223.36 --> 2224.10] image management |
[2224.10 --> 2224.98] and stuff like that, |
[2225.10 --> 2226.56] because it hooks |
[2226.56 --> 2228.46] directly into iCloud. |
[2229.02 --> 2229.74] The only caveat being |
[2229.74 --> 2230.40] is you've got to be okay |
[2230.40 --> 2231.20] with putting your photos |
[2231.20 --> 2232.24] up in iCloud. |
[2232.38 --> 2233.06] But I think what Alex |
[2233.06 --> 2233.74] is driving at there, |
[2233.80 --> 2233.98] it's like, |
[2234.04 --> 2234.74] that's the only one |
[2234.74 --> 2235.68] that's really going to work |
[2235.68 --> 2236.66] reliably with the way |
[2236.66 --> 2238.04] the iPhone backgrounding works. |
[2238.36 --> 2239.02] If you want them |
[2239.02 --> 2239.94] off the phone reliably, |
[2240.24 --> 2240.68] automatically, |
[2240.94 --> 2241.64] it's going to have to be |
[2241.64 --> 2242.82] iCloud Photo on an iPhone. |
[2243.18 --> 2244.42] So that's why this is so great. |
[2244.70 --> 2245.76] And because it's Python, |
[2246.34 --> 2247.62] you don't have to be on a Mac. |
[2247.82 --> 2249.24] You could run it on a Linux box |
[2249.24 --> 2250.26] or a Windows box too. |
[2250.82 --> 2251.34] Yeah, I ran this |
[2251.34 --> 2253.02] just on a normal Linux server. |
[2253.14 --> 2254.42] I think I ran it out of a container |
[2254.42 --> 2257.22] because that's just who I am. |
[2257.82 --> 2259.30] The really nice thing about it, |
[2259.34 --> 2260.62] and I didn't expect this at all, |
[2260.72 --> 2262.32] I didn't even think about this |
[2262.32 --> 2263.38] until I tried it, |
[2263.78 --> 2266.12] it uses a Python library underneath, |
[2266.12 --> 2267.82] which actually supports |
[2267.82 --> 2269.54] the iCloud two-factor |
[2269.54 --> 2271.42] authentication mechanisms. |
[2271.96 --> 2273.24] So when I brought this up |
[2273.24 --> 2274.16] for the first time, |
[2274.58 --> 2275.62] a little pop-up appeared |
[2275.62 --> 2276.60] on my Mac to say, |
[2276.94 --> 2278.14] hey, someone's trying to log in |
[2278.14 --> 2279.50] as you back in Raleigh. |
[2279.56 --> 2280.08] Is this you? |
[2280.16 --> 2281.34] And here's your two-factor code. |
[2281.40 --> 2281.90] And I was like, |
[2282.30 --> 2283.94] huh, did not expect that. |
[2284.40 --> 2284.96] Yeah, that made me feel |
[2284.96 --> 2285.62] a little bit better |
[2285.62 --> 2286.80] that it was kind of legit |
[2286.80 --> 2288.10] about how it's authorizing |
[2288.10 --> 2289.20] against the iCloud servers. |
[2289.28 --> 2289.96] It seems to be using |
[2289.96 --> 2291.96] like an official Apple API for that. |
[2292.40 --> 2293.46] And I think it's great |
[2293.46 --> 2294.74] for running on your NAS. |
[2294.74 --> 2295.88] If you've got a NAS box |
[2295.88 --> 2297.14] that you can shell into, |
[2297.70 --> 2299.28] you could go into your directory |
[2299.28 --> 2300.22] of choice on your NAS |
[2300.22 --> 2301.28] and execute this thing, |
[2301.32 --> 2302.14] and it's just going to sit there |
[2302.14 --> 2303.34] and download photos all day long. |
[2304.00 --> 2304.70] And I think for me, |
[2304.78 --> 2307.34] the absolute killer use case |
[2307.34 --> 2309.34] are like my parents' phones. |
[2309.76 --> 2310.92] You know, a couple of parents |
[2310.92 --> 2311.40] use Android, |
[2311.52 --> 2313.14] a couple use iOS. |
[2313.88 --> 2315.12] And the iOS ones, |
[2315.18 --> 2315.86] I've really struggled |
[2315.86 --> 2316.78] to get the photos |
[2316.78 --> 2317.64] out of iCloud |
[2317.64 --> 2319.66] into anything meaningful, |
[2319.82 --> 2320.46] off their phones, |
[2320.56 --> 2321.40] into anything meaningful, |
[2321.52 --> 2322.58] like NextCloud even |
[2322.58 --> 2324.30] is a bit of a crapshoot on iOS. |
[2325.06 --> 2326.26] And this just solves |
