re: when you get a new iphone, do you still restore from a backup?
Posted by bengri33 on 2/21/17 at 11:34 am
I've personally seen issues where a phone was restored and the software issue reemerged with using the iCloud backup since an iCloud backup is the OS and data less the applications. It's very rare that there are issues related to this, but it can happen....

re: Can the apple tv(1st gen) have KODI installed on it like the fire stick?
Posted by bengri33 on 6/24/16 at 1:59 am
If it's white and looks like a Mac Mini it's the first gen, second and third gen are almost indistinguishable (the little square black pucks). If it is a second gen, it is technically capable if it hasn't been upgraded past a certain firmware version (I forget which), while the third gen isn't possi...
