  • Simplicity in all the good and bad ways. They also claim to be more secure but I’m not sure if that really applies anymore.

    Many security-related things started as an OpenBSD project, like openssh. They don’t shy away from making drastic decisions for the sake of quality. For instance, in 2014 when they noticed their bluetooth stack or bluetooth as a concept sort of sucked, they didn’t rewrite it. They removed it. I don’t think it has been rewritten yet.










  • Apple has recently declared that they’re keeping their DEI programs in contrast to other tech companies, so I suppose Lemmy crowd would approve that? Their CEO being openly gay since 2014 probably works as some sort of a guarantee, at least as long as he keeps being the CEO.

    So I’ll suggest: Apple hardware + icloud. User experience (with apple hardware) 10/10. Pricing: Hardware price + monthly cost. Integrity: who knows, but they seem to deriving their income from their devices more than many other things.

    Monthly cost depends on geographical location and storage size, but in EU area per month:

    • 5GB is free
    • 50GB = 1 euro
    • 200GB = 3 euros
    • 2TB = 10 euros

    That storage and cost can be shared with up to 5 family members.

    I used this for a long time and it worked really really well. But it really does practically depend on having Apple devices, preferably on every level. I recently moved to Proton because I wanted to move to Linux, but I do miss the UX and reliability quite a lot. Icloud’s web service isn’t bad though but wasn’t good enough for me.
