Shared Albums don't count against your iCloud Storage.

This seems to be possible, not entirely sure how though.

Try removing and re-adding the connection. This occasionally happens to me too.
Maybe I'm naive but shouldn't it be enough to encrypt your disk with FileVault? Of course assuming that you don't hand over your password to the technician. Also logging out of iCloud would remove the option to e.g. lock or wipe the device remotely.

It depends. If you've bought your device from Apple, defects will be covered by them in this 2-year period. At least this was my experience in Germany. Two times I encountered a very helpful Genius that issued a repair although my 1-year warranty was up.

Mine got replaced in the store. Online support wasn't as helpful.

I have the same issue(s) on my third set of earpods and second case. It has gotten to a point where I don't want to buy another set of Apple headphones because I'm afraid this will happen again one day or another.

Azure DevOps.
Are you sure about that it is not Windows for ARM?

My local Apple Store replaced my battery in <1h for ~70€. Maybe that's fast enough for you.

Image Capture constantly freezes for me and isn't able to skip duplicates anymore.
Listening to DJ sets (HÖR [0] is great) helped me with programming and other work related tasks quite well. My mind magically switches to focus mode :).

Re:AirPods don't “just work” on Wednesday January 26, 2022 @03:16PM (#30091110)
I regret getting my AirPods Pro. I have them for two years now and went through 2 cases and 4 earbuds. The quality just does not match the expectation and price tag. My Sony headphones work like on the first day after 3 years, however they don't share the same form factor. :) I wonder how the WF-1000XM4 perform especially in combination with iOS.
