As far as I‘m aware, Time Machine is a local backup which means the data never even reaches Apple‘s servers.

Additionally, you can and should encrypt your data which Apple allows to do using FileVault.

Again, the encryption key never even reaches Apple‘s servers except if you use the iCloud Keychain. And even if you do and you store your key there, Apple wouldn’t have the key for your iCloud Keychain and thus couldn’t do anything with that data.

Interestingly, as a German who lives in a bubble where people take their jobs very seriously, I was equally surprised when I experienced pretty much what you described while visiting the US.

It hasn’t changed though, has it?

Have a look at Hotelling’s law: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hotelling%27s_law

> The device, starting at $499, is more expensive than its predecessor by $200

Wow, that’s quite a steep increase.

> I am not working on it at the moment. But I would like to return to the project when I have more free time ;)

Berkeley Mono does look great. Thanks for pointing me to this!

I'll have an inner debate on the price tag, though.. $75 for the Developer Package seems quite steep.
