Not as I see it - this is a generally undocumented API surface not meant to be called programmatically like this, unfortunately. Every iCloud photos sync tool does/will hit this same restriction (icloudpd, rclone, etc). The only possib

I continue to be working on kei, my cloud->local photo/video sync engine. iCloud Photos is fully baked along with implementing their completely undocumented SyncToken. I’m doing some QoL work in the next few weeks, tightening up som

iCloud-photos-downloader is unmaintained and starting to crack due to Apple API changes so I’m working on my own fork/rewrite/take on iCloud sync, with ambitions to add Google Takeout, Immich, and other services too. https:/

Live photos are just .mov sidecar files. There are a variety of iCloud export tools you can use to move to self hosting, including mine (shameless plug) - http://www.github.com/rhoopr/icloudpd-rs

A surveillance tech company asserting that they know better, based on 'big data'. Shocking. The family has proof of residence (which is its own absurdity we won't discuss), and this third party can arbitrarily override that b

All of the things ChatGPT, allegedly, emergently said to her sound like modern romantasy tropes. This is obviously a result of her use as a writing tool and I’d be willing to bet she’s not being honest about her prompting and context histor
