I recently switched to an iphone, the state of PWAs on iOS is just pathetic. While I don‘t care about web push, I‘m really glad they‘re trying to make some progress in this area.

You expect resistance from Apple? To me it sounds exactly like what they are trying to push.

That's not at all what I think of when I hear the words 'replaceable battery'. Too bad.

Depends on the country, where I live there is no direct debit (Banks have just now begun to replace the old cards ) so most people use credit cards to buy stuff online.

That's the thing which keeps me from buying a new notebook. :( Everything else I care about is on par with intel macbooks but the touchpad is too important.

The only way of MAYBE having a consistent experience on linux is to only use applications written for the DE of your choice isn't it? Use firefox on KDE and the consistency is already gone.
