What you’re saying is technically true but do you know what was a horrible experience?
A few weeks ago when I, in Japan, needed to download many 5+ Gb project files I had backed up on my home server in the US after a hard drive failure and I was hamstrung by my shitty domestic up speed limit.
At least with large web file hosts like Google, iCloud, and mega you’re not restricted by your inferior domestic upload speeds. Being able to access the server from anywhere is only half the battle
I was just in Japan for about 4 months, mostly Tokyo. Id say somewhere around a quarter of public men’s rooms I used didn’t have soap dispensers. Taiwan was worse though - most baffling was the lack of soap on my plane to and from Taipei
