For total clarity, I’ve never used Porkbun so I can’t vouch. But I like what I see on their website.

They say that you can build one for $13.

They also have on their roadmap that they’re working to see if they can build or engineer out or whatever an all in one, easy to set up voice satellite hardware as one of their next up priorities.

It doesn’t help you if you need something right now, but Home Assistant is looking into building / engineering their own voice satellite device

I would recommend Fastmail. They have a fantastic app that I prefer over the iOS mail app.
I’ve heard lots of recommendations for Porkbun. Personally, I have mine with Cloudflare because they’re cheap.
I’m a water engineer!
Sourcing, recycling, and transporting
I mean if they’re really looking for security, you don’t have to trust GitHub to host it, you can use GitHub Enterprise Server to self host your own GitHub.
Hella expensive like you say, but, if you’re set on GitHub and the enterprise support they provide, there are options.
I need to start doing this more… “Active” starts to get pretty stale.
This feels a lot like the argument of well what if they break TLS? A lot of hypotheticals when I don’t have any reason or proof to believe that they’ve made a back door
I was able to install Linux on my 2015 MBP, but weird stuff didn’t work OOTB like the webcam and while I eventually got it working, it was less than polished because it was all reverse engineered workarounds by the Linux gods who managed to figure out the exact commands that were needed to be run.
Also the hardware support is not great, for example the webcam. I installed Linux on my old MBP but it was a hassle to get the webcam working involving some dubious command line entries with sudo
They can lie about how the advanced data encryption works…. But then they also tell you that you’re shit outta luck if you forget or screw up your decryption code. If they really had a back door, then I would expect them to take a much less hard line on you’re screwed if you lose the key.
I would be surprised if they had a back door too given how they’ve pushed back on back doors from the NSA and EU
Honestly GoDaddy is not a bad choice, if you’re willing to pay extra. I set my mom’s website up on GoDaddy because it’s solid, pretty idiot proof, and she can do it all herself with a staging and a prod site and everything. There are cheaper options of course, but it’s hard to be both cheap and good for beginners.
If you’re less confident with this kind of stuff and are worried about being overwhelmed, then GoDaddy can be a good solution.
I hear you, but also I would be shocked if Apple were to roll this out and it be an absolutely terrible experience. Like their MO is “luxury” products with “premium” experiences, it would not be fitting of the brand to have a piece of crap experience on their flagship announcement.
I’m willing to give them the benefit of the doubt on this one.
I don’t hate them but I do hate the culture and systems that have created them.
At least take comfort that the piece of paper already makes them more secure than 90%+ of people!
And have faith… my mom is not super tech literate, but once she used and experienced the convenience of a password manager, she became an evangelist, she even taught and onboarded my grandma onto Bitwarden without me knowing about it.
I think Washington state has outlawed them except for things like safety signs and I think that’s great.
This is from like 15 years ago, so maybe it’s not true anymore.
