Well, shit...

In truth, it's a new highest end product, and presumably you can keep buying the lower end ones, but still.

TL/DR:

WhatsApp

• Yes, the content of your conversations is fully encrypted
• Meta (aka Facebook) still has access to the metadata: who you chat with, how long you chat, your phone's battery level, stuff like that
• You could use Signal to have even better privacy, but your contacts might not use Signal

Apple

• Focusing on health information specifically (their recent marketing campaign), it's true that Apple end-to-end encrypts your health data
• However, other apps may not
• Third party apps can request (from you) access to your health data
• Be skeptical of them

This is exactly what I'd wanted for a while. I did get an M1 MacBook Pro 16" when it came out, but I didn't really need all the extra power; I just wanted a bigger screen.

This would be the sweet spot for me if I didn't already have a MBP.

Some might suggest this makes it more human. Or at least more like my father-in-law.

Congrats to the Debian team which looks like a fine release that will carry us for the next 5-years. Although I do not directly use Debian anymore its worth calling out that they have been a influence, driver and overall force of nature in the Linux distro ecosystem.

For those who dont know.....all Debian releases are code-named after Toy Story characters. Bookworm being a minor character in Toy Story 3.
