One of the advantages of the Cloud is you can have multiple devices use it for a source of data, so you don't need to sync your devices anymore for that data, as each device will just pull it from the Cloud.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

(Though actually I take that back - I forgot his Gmail was hacked too. If someone got into my Gmail account they'd basically have everything because I store all the "Welcome to Extremely Secure Internet Thingy That Will Never Be Hacked! Here is your username!" emails there. So backing up to a 3rd party wouldn't have helped him here.)
I still maintain that there's nothing inherently unsafe about online backups. I back up to an external hard drive at home, but all that means is that I'm more protected from hacking and less protected from fires.

I butter the bread.

Nobody here butters the bread, right? You just put butter in the pan!
It depends on whether or not the butter is soft enough to spread. Room temperature butter directly on the bread makes a more evenly browned sandwich.

I butter the bread. When I just butter the pan, it doesn't brown as nicely and evenly.

Oh my God, I've been doing it wrong!
No, wait, you people are all crazy. Plus my butter is always frigid.

Because books.
I butter the inside of the bread, but I let the butter in the pan brown the outside.

Jessica,
but that's why I said he needed to turn on 2-factor auth with gmail. Regardless, he had the perfect storm: no backup, easy access to gmail and that his amazon and apple accounts were hacked.
Others,
he has a cool twitter handle, but they did more than hack his twitter account. They tried to (did?) decimate all of his online files.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Thank you, Jessica and ita ! and tommyrot. I am elucidated.
I butter the bread, on the rare and glorious occasions I make a grilled cheese sandwich. I also keep a stick of butter in a butterdish on the counter, so it's always spreadable.
