What integrations do you use? I can't really think of what I would miss on the Apple TV if I switched from iPhone. I rarely use AirPlay, disable Photos for in-house privacy reasons, and… oh yeah, the remote control for keyboard, volume, and navigation via iPhone is neat! I think the Apple TV is just a strong product on its own.

Why isn't it the default? :( I'm rarely in control of how a font is used.

Have you explored Focus modes on iPhone? You could place a button for a Shortcut on the lock screen to toggle Focus modes that change which apps show on the Home screen, and which notifications to show (while the others go to Notification center). Could use the Action button or Back Tap to change Focus mode before even seeing the lock screen.

I wonder why XcodeGhost doesn't count as successful, widespread malware attack against iPhone. WeChat was infected. It was before iOS had pasteboard protections.

Why can Microsoft seemingly not commit and stand by decisions in the way Apple does?

I want to build on a piece of land a personal ecosystem that can sustain at least one adult human under extreme weather conditions.

Push notifications in Safari just suck because the discoverability method is a dialogue box that interrupts and blocks all other user actions.

The browser should never let a website interrupt unless allowed by the user. Place a bell icon in the address bar and make it translucently balloon up when triggered for visibility.

Side note: Browser interface should stay outside the untrusted zone of web content. Whenever it can't, interface could have an unobtrusive unimitable background pattern extending from the trusted zone into the untrusted zone. The user should always know what is browser or website.

Exactly. Single absolute numbers are useless for understanding how impactful this change may be. I need to know how much ice there was.

Apple's cables are bad. Never been a problem for me because I take care of them, but people shouldn't have to be as careful as I am.

What would it take to encapsulate an entire home in a faraday cage? Or just a room. Is there faraday paint or wallpaper, or does it require sheets of thick metal?

You can change the shortcut in System Preferences > Keyboard > Shortcuts > Keyboard > Move focus to next window.

Try also using “Move focus to active or next window”. I have that mapped to Option-Command-` (and implicitly Option-Shift-Command-` for reverse order).
