Can't vs won't. I have no doubt that they could do it, but apple didn't get to be one of the most powerful companies in the world by doing the thing that is cheaper for the user.

What service do you use? Been thinking about doing the same sort of thing.

Are we talking $10 M pre or post tax?

Post tax, $10M 100%. Not having to work and retiring immediately would be amazing.

I do like the recursive option of the red pill. Do a few loops and find the optimal path.

My use case is that I grab house hunters for background tv. Do I need that at high quality? No definitely not. For most shows I'm at 1080p, then for shows/movies I really like I'll grab higher quality.

I use Privacy on a rare basis. It doesn't require a browser plugin, you can just log into their site and copy/paste the information.

It is worth it for me as I use it to sign up for "free" trials that require credit cards and then I don't have to worry about getting charged.

A note about credit cards, if you have a history of payments with a company, that company can ask the issuer for an updated number after you get a new card number. If it works then they just store the updated number and keep up the subscription.

They won't use it until they are forced to 100%. iMessage has become a reason people get iphones. Peer pressure at its finest.

You should also put your efforts towards getting apple on RCS. Then you wouldn't need to have multiple apps.

Do you have any old hardware that doesn't have a job? That is a great place to start. Take some time try out different solutions (proxmox, unraid, casa OS). Then as you nail down your needs you can better pick hardware.

I would keep with what you have. If you don't have a compelling reason to get something new it's not really worth it. That is how I try to look at it. Helps me save money and the planet

I saw the grass was greener on the other side. I can't say it is or isn't. Just different problems.

What I have done is follow my interest and curiosity. It has served me well in the technology industry

A few years old prebuilt for the office can work well, I have an HP 290 and HP S01 that work great as servers.
