This somewhat makes sense in that ra w media is higher volume in terms of data. But lossy compressed images and video can still be high data-volume even if they are not raw.

The aspect that is missing from this discussion is how much it would actually cost Apple to include high wired data transfer speeds in non pro models and whether non pro models cost enough to justify including this feature even if a small fraction of users use it.

As an addendum I will share my opinion that even pro model users are not gonna use wired transfer 99.99% of the time. I feel Apple is doing this to fabricate a separation between pro and non-pro models plus boosting their bottom line. Sadly there are a bunch of people in this thread that are uncritically defending a trillion dollar corporation for reasons I cannot fathom. This is not really a topic that I'm passionate about so I'm not gonna engage in this any further.

Non pro users don't need to transfer photos?

Why do Pro users need 3 transfer speeds?

Have you tried checking the logs of the lemmy container?

I really need to learn how to make use of quad legs.

You'll have to check again. My guess is though you should not have deleted the pictrs folders. Just its contents. You can recreate the folder again though:

mkdir pictrs
sudo chown 991:991 pictrs

But check the logs first.

pictrs from subscribed communities in other instances

Dont worry about those. Those images are not stored by your pictrs instance. They are directly fetched from the native instances.

pictrs database is completely separate from lemmy database. If you want you just delete everything in the pictrs volume and start afresh. You will lose all images though.

Seems like your pictrs database is corrupted.

You can still see the logs using docker logs container_name>. To get the container name you can use docker ps -a. It should list the pictrs container there. The container name is usually the last column of the output.

What do the logs say?
