       @doctorow It's so simple:Boycott *all* Apple products for selling over-priced, un-repairable, hippy/hipster, spyware, walled-garden jewellery. They despise you by design.No google. No apple. No facebook/twitter. No microsoft!Use BSD/GNU/Linux.Example free, open hardware:Laptophttps://www.pine64.org/pinebook/Phonehttps://www.pine64.org/pinephone/Tablethttps://www.pine64.org/pinetab/Smartewatch (coming 2nd Q 2020 for $25usd)https://www.pine64.org/pinetime/Just geek out on their other stuff!https://www.pine64.org/devices/single-board-computers/pine-a64/
