It would lead to a whistle and restart the same way you can't just sit on a ball to waste time. Not sure what the rule is called but yeah it's covered in the rules

That's a good suggestion, I'll try some kind of temporary bits of padding first to try and work out what is going on. It is a plausible explanation of how the problem appeared, because I can't see anything wrong

The problem with finding where and how to make adjustments is I can't work out the physics/engineering of what is causing it, or what the original design was meant to be like. But the other comment does sound useful in this way

I haven't tried that, sounds like it's worth a check

I thought the pope was talking about Defenestration, sorely disappointed

Do you need to remember to open it regularly? Or is it sending you notifications? You mention that you open it and then it does a sync, how often do you need to do this?

Do you need to interact with it regularly for it to work in the background?

The more I have to deal with them the less interesting they become.. they work best for people who want to just do what apple tell them

Interesting, is that through a particular app, or from cable-based syncing?

.. Interesting idea. But immich doesn't work as a drop in, the default images collection includes a lot of rubbish so for it to be useful you have to manually tag photos to include with immich

It's kind of necessary for family members who still need it to be backing up and may take a bit of time to get used to using it. If it's not backing up pics then it won't be useful when they do open it

Yep the unreliable background tasks are a major hurdle here
