Apple confirms it will no longer use leather for new Apple accessories, starting today.

Just remember it's always about the profits.

Just like how they stopped selling chargers for the sake of reducing e-waste. Even though they can save on shipping weights and charge extra for 1st party chargers.

Now is it worse for the environment to produce extra chargers and cables? Or the secondary purchases, shipping, and manufacturing? I can't tell you the actual impact.

Oh and remember the absolute trash 1A/5V charging bricks they included for the longest time ever? They hardly even pushed out 18w bricks before they nixed the entire included charger crap.

You Don’t Want to Know How Much You Are Spending on Subscriptions

I know it's the title but I dislike clickbait.

I know it’s not just me who is suddenly living life as a smooth-brained subscriber. The average consumer spends $273 per month on subscriptions, according to a 2021 poll of 2,500 by digital services firm West Monroe, which found this spending was up 15 percent from 2018. Not a single person polled knew what his actual monthly spending was.

I only spend $17.38 a month on subscriptions. But that's because I share many family plans.

Routers

I use Mikrotik RB5009 because it's easy and very powerful. It has zerotier and wireguard built in. I'm slowly getting into OPNSense, but I'm not too familiar with it yet.

I also run ubiquiti wifi, but am planning on changing to another system in the future.

My core switch is a unifi 24 enterprise. It's the only affordable and semi quiet switch that is multigig, POE, and semi layer 3.

I currently run 6 vlans. Users, servers, management, IoT, LAN only, and DMZ.

Add-on: same password, same identity.

That's also assuming they used proper salts and a strong hashing algorithm.

Also MITM and or phishing attacks are not super common but can also depreciate your common password very quickly.

Always layered defense. If it's not 1 thing, it could be another.

Unique passwords are just one facet on a multi-layered security defense.
