Apple hardware chief John Ternus insists parts pairing is not evil

In no way would I wish to buy a phone where they give up security to enable the ultra, ultra micro-niche of people who want to get replacement biometrics for an obsoleted model. Nope, nope. You want that? Go buy a knockoff and knock yourself out.

How to keep your Mac's data safe using Time Machine
Time Capsule was brilliant. I have several 5th generation models which I use without the router feature (NAS); three from around 2013 (10 years old). I've swapped an SSD into one and the other two are getting slower low noise/vibration/heat HDDs to extend the life of the hardware. I would not be surprised to see them last another 10 years.
It's been hard to find anything to replace it, since many Time Machine compatible routers or devices don't have a disk check or repair function, or a notification system to alert you to a disk error. Without these functions it's generally worthless for backup. I once used a NETGEAR router for Time Machine and I found the disk corrupt on more than one occasion.
