Let’s, for the sake of argument, say that I did want to jettison thousands of dollars of Apple hardware into an active volcano.

What are equivalent laptops and phones (I’ve seen no watches remotely close, but bonus if you know one) as measured by:

1. Build quality

2. Performance (component integration, speed, battery life, etc.)

3. Warranty and support (a la AppleCare)

4. Just Works™️ OS and applications

Before answering, kindly only chime in if:

1. You own the product(s) in question

2. You hearby acknowledge that, while I’m highly technical, I long ago lost interest in compiling my own kernel or wrestling with bootloaders. I’m a “business user,” not a developer. That’s my use case.

Please and thank you. 🙏🏼 #asknostr

Have you considered running something like Pi-Hole, and using it as the primary DNS for all of your devices?

This would allow you to do DNS level filtering. ie blacklist the mothership, and stop your devices from 'phoning home' ...

This isn’t what I’m up against, but thanks. It’s a great project. Without a lot of backend services, Apple devices are largely expensive bricks.
