The best things to boycott are Services.
If everyone cancels their Netflix, Amazon Prime, AppleTV/Music and YouTube Premium for an extended period it would definitely send a message.
I’m currently looking at an alternative to iCloud Drive for my family’s backups.
The Apple One Family subscription is still the most cost-effective solution for backing up everyone’s Phones and iPads, but a Roll-Your-Own solution is on my project sheet, especially after what happens in the UK!
I’ve just cancelled Disney+ this morning after finding out about their most recent price increase. I’ve still got nearly a year left before it runs out, but I’m not spending $200+ a year for a product that started <$100 a few years ago.
Nextcloud? I was looking for a friend and there was a German company that was offering 1TB for €5. The friend wanted something in Germany, but I suspect you can find similar deals elsewhere.
The probably meant to say “happened”. A few weeks ago it leaked that Apple in the UK had been pressured to provide a backdoor to allow authorities to access users who had set their iCloud data to be “ADP”—which basically makes all your iCloud data & backups fully encrypted so not even Apple can access it.
But worse: the UK authorities asked Apple to ensure that the backdoor would let them get into all users’ data. Worldwide. It’s suspected other companies also received this request, and that only Apple leaked to the public.
Apple refused to do this, and instead disabled ADP in the UK. Which means that for UK users it’s much like Apple actually did cave and put in the backdoor…only it’s less like a backdoor and more like they took away the walls of the entire building. But at least it means users elsewhere in the world are safe, for now.
They were manufactured in China.
