perhaps the many, many people who are trying to update and secure their existing systems or install new software or packages on them? the many others wanting to upgrade or install a new ubuntu? perhaps anyone who maintains or uses a ppa archive or other launchpad resource? there are millions of people outside of your sphere that are affected by this ongoing incident.
as long as you’re still a mac user the icloud space and sub isn’t really going to waste. can you do what you want to do on your android phone by just using a browser? i know you can’t do ‘everything’ that way, but basic file and email access should be accessible from pretty much any device’s browser.
we were looking awhile back for one, but none of the tplink models at walmart (the only retailer with routers within 50 miles) supported flashing with a third-party firmware and i didn’t want to shop online for one.
we sorta lucked-out, though… ended up just using the one from our old provider since they never asked for it back or charged us for it. it’s dual band, has wpa3, guest ssid and vlan. enough for us for now. all we had to do is flip a setting from dsl uplink to wan uplink.

he bought land in scotland for a golf course in 2006… near where an offshore wind farm had been in planning for several years.
he either doesn’t know what due diligence is, or him being himself thought he could muscle the local and national government into nixing the wind farm (or both).
he objected to the project’s formal application. he lost.
he sued. he lost.
he appealed. he lost again.
the wind farm was built, not completed until 2016.
he’s been on an extra salty vendetta against wind power, and basically all renewables, ever since.
