Spoilers: what you outline there is more or less what I have done. You could go further by going for Linux machines and open source sync etc., but the falloff in quality is *severe*. I find the tradeoff of "Basically use Apple stuff" to be a pretty decent one at present: hardware and software is best in class, the ecosystem smaller but * higher quality than what you find for almost everything on Windows, and the privacy setup is *much* better for an average person. (You *can* better on privacy with Linux and Android, but the effort level is high and the costs to <abbr title="user experience">UX</abbr> even higher, and they don't matter unless you work for the <abbr>CIA</abbr> or are a missionary in an *extremely* closed country or something like that.)

On Amazon: we swore it off almost a decade ago, and we haven't missed it much, to be honest. The more so as it has turned into a giant pile of junk from third-party vendors over time. Amazon <abbr>TV</abbr> is the one *sort of* useful thing, mostly for *The Expanse*... which is now over. (I think I will watch S2 of *The Wheel of Time* and *The Rings of Power*, but "think" tells you how strong my endorsement is not.[^s2s])
