I have had an issue for quite some time, possibly since Ventura, where the dialog asking me to allow the USB device to connect disappearing within a fraction of a second. I miss the dialog altogether. My workaround has been to unplug the device and plug it in again, repeatedly in necessary, until I can okay it. From then on I don’t have a problem with the device.

I would add this on the Con side:

The unit does not have a USB interface. Almost all of the APC units with lead-acid batteries have them. That way, a computer can probe the charge status and determine when to shut itself down, so as not to run down the battery completely. In fact, one of my rack-mounted APC UPSs has an Ethernet interface, which allows my router to send out a notification to me, when the power goes out and comes back on.

What about privacy? Using one of these, will I be selling my whereabouts and habits to Google? Can that be avoided without giving up on essential features?

Will this affect Telegram?

So, uh, what do we use in place of leather? (Plastics) 

Great point! From an even more removed bird’s-eye view, leather is way more sustainable than plastics. It is much more biodegradable.

Is Apple buying into the vegan philosophy, wholesale? That certainly does not reflect the vast majority of Apple’s customers’ views.
