United Airlines has had the ability to connect Bluetooth earbuds and headphones for several years, and they seem to be adding it to more of their fleet as time goes by.

Apple did NOT earn $90.15B in fourth quarter of 2022.  That is their total revenue.  They earned $20.72B, for a profit margin of 22.99%.

I transferred my U.S. service from a physical SIM to the eSIM on my iPhone a few years ago, before traveling out of the country to a destination where (nearly?) all phones work from prepaid SIM cards.  When you need to refill, you go to a shop (which might be just a counter in someone’s home) to buy a card with a refill code.  Then you effectively text the code to the cellular carrier and your refill amount gets added to your SIM card.

There is NO way that you are going find a way to enable an eSIM card in that country.  (Even here in the U.S., it required a visit to the carrier’s store to move my service from the physical SIM card to the eSIM.)  Completely removing the physical SIM from the iPhone would be a huge step backwards, which would make iPhones completely unusable in certain countries.

I love Macs and have had one at home for 25+ year. But, I rely on Excel a lot at work and Excel just sucks on a Mac, and it's just not worth emulating it when I can just use a cheap W10 machine.

Ummm, no.  Microsoft developed Excel for the Mac, and later ported it to Windows.  It is still a native application in MacOS and “emulating” is not required.  If you really have had a Mac for 25+ years, you would know that Excel on the Mac used to be much more advanced than the Windows version and in more recent years the updates have not always remained in sync.  Given the capabilities of Excel for Mac, you’d have to be doing some rather esoteric edge-case tasks in Excel in order for the Windows version to offer any advantage.
