Doesn't suit OPs demands as power only, but moved most my USB-C power cables to Anker Nano recently. They sound like described, lovely. Super flexible, don't tangle, nice weight to them - very well built. Nicest cables I've ever owned and an upgrade from prior Anker ones.

You can, Homekit call it "Adaptive Lighting". It's not as flexible though, you just turn it on and Apple does what it wants - there's no variables you can fiddle with if you don't like what its doing.

I don't use Android anymore but when I did I found the GitJournal app worked well to sync with git, then you could open the files with Obsidian.

That predates plugins being native on mobile apps however, so the built in Obsidian Git plugin might be better now.

You honestly don't need one in the UK, filing small claims via the governments site is very easy. They'll auto send a demand letter for you etc. https://www.gov.uk/make-court-claim-for-money

You can subscribe to youTube channel pages via RSS. I do this when I don't want to miss a channels videos.

Edit: Removed initial comment, confused my iOS faults.

Keychain its current configuration is risky, given its coupled to your iPhone password which many people frequently enter in a public setting. One shoulder surf followed by a phone theft and they've unlocked everything - including your iCloud account (which you can change the password on using iPhone password only).

I disabled that as it has some very confusing and undesired behaviour. For example if you're listening to Spotify on your Mac, then get a call on your iPhone you hit pause on your keyboard media keys so you can pick up the call - and it hangs up.

I use Paypal a fair bit to pay via Amex in the UK, where the underlying store doesn't take Amex but does Paypal. No complaints there.

Check LoseIt or Litesum, much more polished app than MFP. Lots in the US seem to rate Cronometer but in the UK its database is terrible.

Good to know thanks, I'm in London so might give them a go sometime.

Where do you find places with specific lenses? Basically nowhere in the UK seems to call out their lense quality from what I've seen - perhaps I'm just looking in the wrong places. Are you ringing each optician up individually and asking them?

That's a poor characterisation, I'm not convinced any developer can say with 100% certainty they've never missed anything in the release notes of their dependencies or had any unexpected behaviour in changes that made it to production. Mistakes happen.

They're great, been paying them since Google Reader shutdown. Can't fault, great service.
