Hi, the IOS and system data are always eating up my storage space, i dont have any games or heavy things installed even, the things i have on my device are personal (family photos groups art memories etc) and for University so i am not going to delete them at all, this is the storage i have left after going over my whole phone to save up as much as i can.

Im going to need the space for university and personal stuff and i checked the latest update’s size (26.6.1) and apparently its 13 gb? Lol i cant afford to have less space than i already do.

So im thinking ill stop updating my phone for a long while, i dont know how long, i just highly doubt that ill be able to get a new phone with bigger storage anytime soon. Im really careful with my activity on the net, the only risky-ish thing i do is going on well known websites to watch things with an ad blocker on, and i dont click on anything or download anything risky.

So is it okay to stop updating my Iphone 16e for a long time to save up space?

(SOLVED) Hi. So recently I’ve taken my laptop to check up on some issues and they told me that they need to wipe my laptop in order to check and work on whatever they have to, so ive been backing up my stuff to prepare for it so i dont lose a single thing on my laptop, that includes my stardew saves.

I haven’t played stardew in a long while to be honest, but I have two saves, one i dont really use and one main save that is my love and joy, i worked really hard on it and i decided to try out mods at some point, but my approach was amateurish cuz im new to the modding world, so ive been using those mods on my main save.

now i have to backup everything, and im thinking of removing the mods i have installed on stardew valley to save myself the headache of downloading everything and all my mods so my save can work once i get my laptop back.

a lot of the mods were just for fun, like adding an npc, polyamorysweet, and other cosmetic and cheat mods, but i now realise that they put my save file at risk for whenever i decide to remove those “heavier” mods.

i havent opened my save file in a while because im honestly too nervous to, but if i remember right i was only married to Alex and had onceler as a boyfriend maybe lol, but i was thinking i could divorce alex and using the cheat mod to adjust his and onceler's relationship with me to be lower, so it looks like as if nothings happened. would that work?

TLDR: is there a safe way to remove all these mods listed in the screenshot from my beloved save so i can ditch smapi and go back to playing normal stardew again? I really dont want to lose my save or glitch it. I just really wanna go back to playing vanilla and not risk going through the headache of mods again, or am i better off backing up my saves the way they are along with the mods and try to download them all again? if so, how do i do that too? Please help! Thank you

lately ive been experiencing a problem, a couple times when i boot up my brave (and even chrome) browser a new tab opens to bitly, and it redirects to a website called buzzy, which i think is some sort of ai website. it doesnt happen every time, but its enough to make me incredibly paranoid.

im really careful with what i choose to download and use on my laptop, i never download any sort of unofficial things and anything that isnt very widely trusted and well known, and i routinely run checkups with Norton (though im not sure how reliable norton really is with detecting things, is it good? sorry off topic lol) id run a quick scan with norton after this happened but there wasnt anything. not sure if its able to check browsers and stuff though.

i dont have many extensions downloaded, only the ones above (the images are for brave + chrome respectively). the only AI related extension i have downloaded is deepseek.

does anyone know what could be causing this and if its something to be really concerned about, like a compromised pc or something? im gonna get my laptop wiped soon and maaaaybe replaced because of unrelated things anyway, but i wanted to check about this.

please help! im a really paranoid person. thank you!

I got my huion kamvas 16 gen 3 around october of 2025, and have been using it quite a lot, maybe practically everyday, i took in mind using light pressure and adjusting the built in pressure for both huion and the program i use, and i clean my tablet screen with the cloth every time before i use it so i could ensure ive taken everything i need to do to protect my screen and nibs into consideration.

I havent replaced my nib since ive gotten my tablet, so i guess its been a little under a year since then maybe, and im not sure when’s the right time to replace it.

I did try a brand new nib a couple times just to see if there is any difference, and while there is some difference i still continued using my normal nib.

I couldnt take a good photo to show the ‘scratches’ on my screen, because the marks are very faint and only show when the screen is turned off and there is light shining on it, so nothing actually affects my drawing, not sure if that is a good or bad thing. does it mean this is normal and there is nothing to be concerned about? Or is it about time i change my nib?

Just want to know if i should be doing something, or if theres anything else i need to take into account, im just a very paranoid person and wanna take good care of my stuff 😭 thank you!

extra question: does the tablet i use already come with a screen protector? If not: do i need to be getting one? If yes: do i need to be replacing it?
