If you aren’t paying for it, you aren’t the consumer, you are the product. It is ok if you are cool with that, but quite a few people are not.

If it won’t work in a docker container, I need a real server anyway.

The first thought that came to my mind was internal solid state power storage (good for an hour or so, but will outlive the rest of the phone) with an external MagSafe battery. Call it MC, but that’s definitely a more Apple UX than disassembling your water resistant phone.

More RAM will always give you more longevity than more CPU. It is my policy to never buy the default configuration of any Mac, because they always have too little RAM.

What websites are using passkeys? I understand MacOS supports them, but I have yet to see an option to use them.

That’s not true - I’m seeing 6 different weather sources in Carrot, and while they probably share raw data, they use different models. Dark Sky (which apple bought and re-branded) wasn’t just an app, it was its own hyper local (and accurate) weather model. Apple broke it.

Here’s the thing: Apple is reporting a 30% possibility of rain in an area where no other weather model projects anything over 0%. It sent my kid’s school into a frenzy because they were having an outdoor graduation and there was literally no chance that rain was going to fall. None.

If you are already paying for iCloud+, you might want to invest in your own domain and set up “Custom Email Domain”. That way if you decided to make another move in the future you won’t have to change your e-mail address. I recently switch from Google Apps to iCloud for e-mail, and didn’t have to inform anyone.
