It does need other iPhones nearby that have internet connection. We got a handful to test for family during our trips last November even though we both use Android. They didn't report in when we were away from other people, but kept location decently when in crowded places like the airport. Android has ways to detect when they are following you, but don't participate in reporting metrics to the source (maybe that'll change with upcoming Find My Device features in Android 15)

I bought Minecraft a month before Beta came out and man what a deal that was. Only something like $10. I got thousands of hours out of that over the following 5ish years. I don't play it as often any more, but I still think it was worth it

Do you have a link to this? I'm curious

Mail volume is checked once a year for rebalancing mailboxes on routes among an office's employees. The volume on a route during mail count also affects salary, even though it varies throughout the year. So yes, less spam mail does impact the post person, though it'd have to be on a much larger scale to be significant and occur during mail count season (spring time iirc). I doubt it's specifically because of less postage being collected from less mail, but it does match proportionally how much mail a mail carrier delivers and how many units are on their route.

I assume it's supposed to be menopause

Laptops that businesses used are pretty good value for the quality. My SO gets Latitude 5590s from eBay that are in near pristine condition and are workhorses for everything he does. They work great with Linux too.

SPF, DKIM, and DMARC are standards that improve email sender authenticity and should be enforced by every email provider. This is a great next step that basically enforces that the source of the message is pre approved by the domain's owner. There's no downside and any company seriously impacted isn't using bare minimum email sending settings.
You still have to be cautious for lookalike domains, but this should help block lazy spoofing attempts.

Given the Steam Link still gets updates, I wouldn't worry about the Deck for at least a console generation's lifetime

It's very spring here in the south, so I'm outside tending to the yard-wide flower bed we set up last year. I've been battling the grass growing back in it for a while and almost gave up after the brutal summer last year killed off half of my plants. I found that using saved up cardboard and mulch keeps a lot of the grass at bay. So that's been my project for a few weeks now, slowly filling the whole bed and revitalizing the whole thing.
As a small reward for the progress I've made, I picked up a few perennials at the store the other day: salvia, lantana, and some consumables - dill, basil, and peppers. They look really nice in the parts of the bed I've already tended to :)

The order of the comment headers is the other way - above the comment it goes with. If you scroll to the top, you can see it better there. The Microsoft person is Zied Aouina

Chiaki4deck is PS Remote Play for Linux. It's pretty nifty

Most formal cleaning companies will do a deep cleaning to form a clean baseline, or let you add on extras per session to address when you need. Usually it's hourly based with a minimum time requirement. If you don't need them to do something, it might work out to be cheaper if doing it would have put you over the minimum time.
If you find a self employed cleaning person, they are more likely to be more flexible and able to handle the odd tasks like tidying up or handling laundry. Maybe even help organize or do other routine tasks that you don't have the bandwidth for.
