I mean, my true loves are Macs and macOS, too (are we not all on this list?), but Apple seems determined to work on iPhones and iOS to the exclusion of Macs. I only buy a phone when I’m sure it will meaningfully improve my life; hopefully Apple Intelligence will soon become more affordable, just

Ditto, AirPods Pro 2 for me too. They're still current, too; only the software is changing, including the new hearing features when they come out, and already including the "headphone accommodations" features that let you enhance transparency mode. I'd just go Pro, honestly, and do away with the

Yes, that's exactly correct, just tell Strongbox to use the Dropbox integration to directly connect to your Dropbox account, whilst your Windows KeePass operates on the file created in your Dropbox folder. You've got it. And don't worry about the server: as long as you have backups of your datab

Again, I’d like to thank you for such a detailed response. I think it would be better initially to go with dropbox while I’m learning about servers and finding out a way of running one; I guess I’d have to run it on a NAS of some sort. This will take longer. But with Dropbox, I could set thin

Hi all, I’ve made my decision about which phone to get. Thought I’d share, in case it’s helpful to anyone else. For a long time now, it’s seemed that new phones haven’t been all that exciting. Sure, there’s always a better camera, sometimes a better display—which I don’t care about—and a fas

I can’t speak to your skill level but there’s no doubt that Strongbox has many knobs for you to twiddle with. I like options, and although it’s certainly quite approachable (especially with the excellent documentation in hand), I think it’s fair to say that you’ll be investing time into your set
