This is so true now that I have a kid. . and yes I actually remember this scene from the show.

I know a lot of folks like Robocopy here... I don't know how most of you feel about a gui for it, but I saw this in my news feed today:

I've seen and have used a few of these different options in the past and they've always seemed to cause a bigger headache than just using the CLI.

I have used the File Migration Tool that has a GUI and also others so will see about this one.

Yup... And that they accessorize literally everything.

Oh you want to use corded earbuds, accessory. . . .

And they constantly change their connections from device to device.

Their terrible connectors, constant breakage, and lack of basic core functions were definitely factors pushing me to test out alternatives.

That and my last iPhone had both broken audio (only one channel worked 99% of the time) and had a bad camera (big smudge in the middle from a bad sensor) really made me question their design quality and value.

It was a lot of things, and overall it was still good, but the connectors, and dropping basic headphones and requiring horrific dongles made it an extremely inelegant product that was clunky and sloppy.
