@movq It's becoming a bit ludicrous to be frankly honest. I'm not sure I can continue to justify these kinds of prices. But at the same time, I'll probably stick with Apple regardless, even if I hate their exorbitant prices, and just buy their low-end stuff 🤦‍♂️ It is fucking crazy when you consider what these things are actually made for over in China or wherever they're manufactured.

iPhone Duo - Apple Sorry Apple™, I'm really finding it quite hard to justify spending thousands of dollar on your products!

From $1999 or $83.29/mo. for 24 mo.*

Fark me 🤦‍♂️ When it was just me and my wife, maybe, fine, okay. But now I have two young children that also want the same shit™ as we do. This starts becoming a nearly ~$8k expensve just for some fucking whoop-ti-do-da foldable iPhone with a bigger screen.

Who cares? 🤔 I want my ~A$800 iPhone back that fits in my hand. #Apple #Rants #Expensive #Crap

I keep getting this email occadionally:

Your iCloud storage is almost full

Now for various reasons, I don't want my children to be using iCloud to store data, files, photos or any of the sort. They're free to use iMessages, and other Apple services like the App Store, etc, but not storage.

So I've set about blocking iCloud Storage API(s) via AdGuard Home tonight as well as ensuring that my local network (client users) cannot bypass DNS policies and get out other sneaky ways, because some applications will just use other DNS servers, or DOH or DOT.
