I don’t quite understand why you are dismissing this person’s concerns like this. The codes are available for a very short period so there is a chance that if there is a WiFi or other network outage they genuinely could not get to the code.

Because this isn't the case. They're pretending that they can only get a code when they land in the UK and there's a very real risk that they will be without internet when they've reached the immigration desk. This is BS.

The code is valid for 30-90 days. You're telling me that within 30-90 days of travelling to the UK you can't generate a code and save it or write it down? Seriously?

Here's some googling you might not have done (or OP for that matter).

https://www.gov.uk/check-immigration-status

https://www.citizensadvice.org.uk/immigration/applying-to-the-eu-settlement-scheme/viewing-your-pre-settled-or-settled-status/

https://www.york.ac.uk/students/support/international/immigration/immigration-status/

And it's not like they are complicated codes that is difficult to write down. They look similar to this: S4WADTYWF.

I agree that it is hard to put faith in a system like this where your immigration status relies on the availability of a network

When faced with new facts would you change your mind? I didn't think so.

Like the first time you compiled the Linux kernel without instructions.

If border control pulls me aside and demands my proof of residency, and I can't access the internet, I may be stuck in a small room for hours or days,

How likely are you to not be able to access the internet at a UK border you might be traveling through? Seriously.

Also, have you heard of a download for offline usage?

Killed four of them. Then was captured in the South Pacific. They took my shins. But I escaped. Hid under a pile of bodies for two weeks. When I got back they sewn my feet back to my knees so I could walk again.

What this doesn't tell you is that he was shot six times not by Nazis.... but by friendly fire πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ.

I dunno, I use Bitwarden and Firefox on Android so pretty none mainstream and don't have any of the issues this clown does. Seems like a click bait article for the sake of it.

Surely at this point you'd make your own Google Drive and sync your notes to there? Clearly relying on a third party API isn't working for them financially so stop doing it. Some S3 storage and a backend isn't that difficult and could be run for pennies.

I'm not sure from this blog post why they can't do that?
