That would be perfect, I might chase down this path again. It's been a while since I've tried to directly mount the iphone as a drive on linux.

That looks like it might do the trick. I feel like this should be something possible only using first party apps but I'll take it! Thanks.

My current process for offloading photos off the iPhone is to copy them in subsequent batches of '0-9999' from the 'Image Capture' app.

This is because I usually have far more than 10K photos and apple starts renaming the files after 9999 as 00001(1) for the rest. This is pretty undesirable.

Is there a way for me to export unmodified raw/jpeg/live/videos off the iphone to an external drive without a macbook with a large enough ssd, and wanting to use icloud as an intermediate bottleneck?

A pretty reductionist and a poor take.

Oh wow, it's you! Thank you so much for writing what is probably my top 3 software of all time (over a long period).

That makes for poor communication by increasing the friction to read someone's thoughts.

As an author, you should care about reducing friction and decreasing the cost to the reader.

Ironically, at least for me, your comment applies far more to your comment than the grandparent's.

Your comment makes me want to re-read the hitchhiker's guide.

Apart from a few other factors, the biggest one that stands out is not stringing you along in a click-baity way, instead just asking a question and giving a direct answer right after the question and in simple direct words.

No dark patterns to make you spend a longer time on the webpage for ad metrics.

AMIE?

I think they mean 'Mon Ami'

This is quite a valuable comment that I agree with 100% and from what I understand, a highly unpopular opinion. I hope more people see this.

Or they could launch some much lower hanging fruit and wait for stock price to appreciate by that much or more. A car company, no matter how small, is very, very hard.

This is why open source and/or self-hosting tools are important.
