My Series 2 is worried. 

As is my Series 3, being a keen cyclist!

I'm glad that I'm still on version 2.4.1 - one advantage of being on an old MacBook Pro running macOS Catalina - there's no pressure to update!!

Have been thinking to switch my main email account to iCloud, mainly for security/privacy reasons - would appreciate any recommendations, pros/cons, dislikes, etc.  (I’ve given up on online reviews of just about everything.)

I made the switch from using Outlook as one of my email accounts a few months ago and apart from today with this outage, I cannot recall any problems.

In October 2020, advertisers and publishers filed a complaint with competition regulator ADLC over ATTT, claiming users would effectively be asked about tracking twice due to following GDPR data protection rules.

It'll make virtually no difference - I seem to get asked nearly every other visit on some sites to confirm my GDPR preferences - its almost as if they think that I will eventually give up saying no to advertising cookies etc if they ask often enough. More likely I'll just stop using the site!

Hmmm - might be enough for me to upgrade from my 15’ mid 2012 rMBP - 14’ might be an acceptable compromise between screen size & cost!
