    I am in the camp that there is a benefit to the managed store. Since moving family members to iOS devices the number of times they have loaded malware or asked me for help installing ANYTHING dropped to zero.

    Should techies be able to side load if they want? Sure, should that be a primary install method? No.

    Epic isn’t wrong about Apples payment requirements being BS, but Epic also isn’t exactly a hero here.

    Will be interesting to see how this pissing match plays out over time.

    Should you be able to use other payment providers outside of apple pay YES!

    Should you be able to install other APP stores on an iPhone? Not sure.




    • Why? this is important as it will probably eliminate some options.
    • What? What do you expect? Do you have specific clients you want to work (iOS mail app?, Samsung mail app? etc), are you good with a 3rd party app? Web interface only? Do you have or want a custom domain or are you migration to @newcompanyhostingme.com?
    • Price? What is your budget? Outside a hand full of options that sell your info to be free almost everything else has a cost.









  • In my home lab I have them separate the OPNSense box has full performance on its own HW, only needs to be patched once in a while and is super stable.

    I have managed to crash / lockup one of my proxmox hosts at least once while messing around with HW past though or by giving a guest enough cores to slow the whole box down.

    Family never gets interrupted playing games or streaming Netflix with my lab separate from the critical internet service.

    New versions of OPNsense installed with ZFS support snapshots before upgrading natively sort of taking one of the promox vm tricks out of the pro list making it neutral.



  • console = network, game = content… is my argument.

    IE Nintendo was happy to sell more units with Sega content, and sega moving to software / content had no choice but to sell on other platorms.

    I’m not sure if Nintendo would get a percent of a 3rd party devs profits.

    Nintendo makes money on EVERY cart sold and every electronic purchase… it is a major part of their EXPENSIVE model and why Nintendo platform games always seem more expensive. It is also why they still sell cart based systems so they are the ONLY supplier of the media, but now they have their own eStore as well.
