You forgot one perk that I really like.

The snow is sound dampening, everything is just much quieter in winter (as an added benefit to there just being less noise generating things going on)

Someone needs to make a game like StreetComplete using openstreetmaps data and Airbnb data, gameify taking down illegal airbnbs

If you happen to torrent a fair bit (especially public trackers) then ipv6 can make a huge difference, there’s loads of ipv6 only seeders and leechers I’m suddenly reaching.

I switched when a Windows update for the third time in a month forcibly changed the default pdf and html file association to edge.

That was like 5 years ago, and I’ve never looked back.

Work gave me an iPhone, it has been pestering me with “ACTIVATE YOUR FREE 3 MONTHS OF APPLE TV PLUS” once a week since new, and the same for iCloud storage, and the games service, and apple music.

I got 4 notifications a week at random times of the day from the system itself telling me to make sure I signed up for their free trial with my credit card before the 3 month period where the deal was available is over.

This has never happened on a Pixel for me, sure they pester you about Google One plans etc on first setup, but they shut the fuck up after you say no.

Probably meant in the context of hiding your piracy activities.
