What is the equivalent of "Apple removed 3.5mm jack" of your favorite products ?
In x86 days I’d agree with you but what Apple has done with ARM is pretty much universally praised. Other companies are starting to catch up but it’s not close yet. Some are more powerful but none hit the insane efficiency Apple is getting. I’d also say while I personally prefer MacOS to Windows (used to run a hackintosh) Linux is finally becoming a very strong daily driver. I do still have complaints though, like I wish I could still use an external GPU and their increases of RAM and storage are insanely priced. Though the base model Mac Mini is probably the best value computer around for price/performance. They have stellar long term support too. Am I currently working on a Linux x86 build just because I need CUDA for some work stuff. eGPU was great while it lasted.

Why did we accept that security cameras need monthly fees to work properly?
I bought a ReoLink NVR and a Mac Mini The NVR was compatible with my existing Dahua cameras and I’ve since added some ReoLink cams too. The NVR has 24/7 recording to a 2TB drive I run Scrypted and HomeAssistant then got chatGPT to do some clever stuff so that the cameras show up on my Apple Home app as HKSV devices. With iCloud + that I already pay for, I get 10 days recording on each camera. It only records what you tell it to though (motion detection, people/pet/parcel detection and you can set it per camera). I could technically cancel iCloud+ and still access recordings with the reolink app but I prefer to have both and I pay for iCloud+ anyway. HA also talks to my Shelly devices for shutter control, lighting control and it links with my actual alarm via a virtual alarm, and I can hook up the camera’s sensors to the dumb alarm and use them to trigger it. Very smart!

Stopping the phone upgrade cycle—my wallet thanks me
Right now my ipad was bought in 2018 or 19 and I may have to cave and get a new one because the charging port has connection issues and apparently cant be fixed. Absolutely nothing else wrong with it. My iphone mini, 2021, I think, it is also having a little bit of charging port issue, but figure I can get another year out of it, but damn I like the fingerprint scan and HATE the face unlock, hoping I can hold out til fingerprint comes back or I may need to go to a google phone or something. But seriously, the reason I spend on apple is longevity and support foe old operating systems for a reasonable period of time. But I am kind of a use it til it breaks for everything, I mean if I get another 3 years out of something I am saving the price of a replacement every decade (yeah I am old, but a new car, a new laptop, a new ….. adds up.

Need a tablet for my worldtravel need urgent help
Love my iPad Pro and use it most with the Apple keyboard travel and otherwise, should fit your needs; for short day trips, hope and travel, the iPad Mini is a great day-tripper, for a long trip, might consider carrying both for different uses; good luck;
