I've had an Apple-only home for years, but I got tired of waiting for them to update their aging Airport devices.  So I sold my soul, and as soon as they became available here in Australia I got a 3-pack of Google wifi pucks, and I haven't looked back...not once.

Much better wifi throughout my home.  No dead-spots, no spurious drop-outs requiring reboots, and no grumpy wife and kids - just a fast, reliable signal throughout.

Oh, and Google supplied the KRACK patch within days...

Here's my current fav:

It is surprisingly happy work building a coffin — I do not know why …  I guess: ‘cause if you’re building it — you’re not the customer.

Love my iPhone X, but not nearly as much as I thought that I would.

Face ID. Is. Actually. Magic.

What notch?

Great physical size, and glass surround feels just right.  Less slippy in the hand than the 7's (but strangely slides off fabric easier...).

But, the hype about the wonderful super-sharp bezel-less OLED screen in the media is rubbish.  It isn't bezel-less in the same way as the Samsung Infinity screens are.  Ok, the glass wraps around and there's no mechanical bezel any more, but there is a black band around the edge of the viewing area - so in my book, that's still a bezel.

Also, with my aging eyes I really don't get the OLED 'advantage' over the iPhone 8 screens.  I'm sure it's there, but it's probably wasted on anyone over 30yrs old...and I'm waaay past that.

Dunno if I'd shell out so much for the next iPhone though...unless it's a beauty...
