Fish, I have an old MacBook I'm disposing of. Is the time machine app in the cloud or will that be destroyed when I destroy the hard drive? Thank you!

It’s almost certainly local. I use a USB hard drive to take Time Machine backups occasionally.

If you need to move to a new Mac, migrate to the new one before wiping the old. However, all you may really need are documents that are likely in your user folder / desktop, docs, pictures etc and those can be moved manually if you have to.

Correct, Time Machine isn’t in the cloud. iCloud Drive is though

like

Time machine can be remote if you have an airport or configure it to use a NAS drive, but it would not be in the cloud.

The time machine settings would show what disk it is set up to use. If it was never set up then you probably don’t have any time machine backups.

Why is no one asking what is stored on said timemachine?

Time machine typically does set and forget, relatively complete backups. Why would I care what is in this person’s laptop backups?

Ladies in their 30s (or anyone) help me out. When on a great first date with a guy in his late 30s, we totally clicked. When he dropped me off, he asked to come inside and I politely said no, since I don't invite anyone inside after the first time we've met date or not. Everything seemed fine but this morning he texts me "I'm sorry it just seems like we aren't looking for the same things." What did I do wrong here? Should I have let him come inside?
