That's the case with Self-hosting anything. It is the privacy that matters.

Balanced on interconnects. JDS Labs ATOM/DAC.

Sound is subjective.

Loving my focal clears and DCA Aeon Noire 2s

HD6XX was too harsh in the highs for me. I think HD600s are tuned ever so slightly better.

Also base DACs from a MBP M1 (max) were fine to drive it for me. Both HD600/XX

Wireless:

- Top tier general: sennheiser Hbd 630

- good enough: sennheiser momentum 4 (affordable)

- good ANC and “bassy”: Sony xm5/xm6 (‘muddy’ for some)

- I like the Bose ANC profile: Bose QC2

All of them have bad microphones (worse than wired ear pods)

All of them have good to great ANC

All of them are wireless

If you need a good mic then get dedicated headset for calls. Otherwise settle for “ok”

I didn’t include bathys/marklevin cause the new senn 630 outplay them on all fronts.

4 clicks from control centre on stock settings. Two if you add the Bluetooth widget into control centre. Swipe down control centre > Bluetooth > hey presto

As for ATV, yeah that thing is deep

Nagging for OneDrive? Nagging for sign in? Nagging for edge-as-default? Nagging for copilot with edge? Nagging for sync your bookmarks and let copilot handle it?

I’m a local account user. I don’t use any of the above.

'Plenty' vs an atrocious amount that constantly nags.

MacOS's ads whilst I still detest, is a one-off prompt. Window's ads can sometimes only be removed with registry key configs OR deployment of management policies...

Just wait til she jumps on a windows 11 device!

But I do agree with you. Thankfully it is minimal relative to windows.

Base m4 Mac mini. Only beach balling is when I saturate 16GB with compiles and builds. That thing of yours is a lemon.

Obsidian is amazing on my desktop environments but I shared the same sentiment with you, on mobile I use Apple Notes and transpose to Obsidian if its worth doing so...

Would matmul acceleration in m5 do much to improve token Generation? I’m planning to upgrade when the new studio updates to m5 but if it’s not much of a shift I’ll probably look at a second hand 256+ ram m3 studio.

Edit: of course the software would need to leverage the neural accelerators which is another variable if the software supports it in the first place

Considering there was a whole hubbub starting from late Aug 2025 RE: Certification of ALL Android apps/.apks: https://android-developers.googleblog.com/2025/08/elevating-...

Followed by a partial walk-back from Google in mid Nov 2025: https://android-developers.googleblog.com/2025/11/android-de...

I would say there is a substantial amount of users willing to install off-play Store .APKs. Substantial enough they're also willing to take a 'jump' and accept the risks/errors displayed

I have the M1 Max. It’s still going hard. Not planning to replace it anytime soon.

I think one can still build a product that has a level of guard rails without impacting usability.

I also think iOS is more of an opinionated 'set of shears'. E.g. 'Right Hand only Scissors made from proprietary parts, made to only cut objects that 80% of scissor users need to cut' if we were to go down the road of analogies.

Funnily enough Google Android is removing the ability for unsigned non-adb APKs. I would suggest your 'regular' scissors will be slightly bluntened in the upcoming Android 16 OS release.
