The best solution to these types of issues it to use local NAS, and protect it with WireGuard tunneling with a configuration file for each authorized device to access out side of the network. I use PiVPN on Ubuntu server, and WireGuard clients for reach device.  This way I can also access my home router from anywhere in the world.  I am unaffected by mishaps with WD, QNAP, Synology, or any other commercial solution.

II don't agree with the way Epic Games started this, but I do feel their sentiment.  Taking 30% of someone's business in order to sell on their platform is like doing the same in order to make a MacOS or Windows 11 app.  It does seem unfair.

Let's save the flexible displays for new generation books so we can have the feeling of turning pages with sustainable materials.  Imagine a book with thin OLED display pages. One physical book for many digital books.  A wild idea yes, but more practical than folding laptop screens.

This is the problem with being a publicly traded company with shareholders pressuring engineers to milk the customer.  If Wozniak were CEO and in control of Apple decisions, I'm sure the product lineup would already be several generations ahead.  We still have slow lighting ports on $1k iPhones, cheaply made keyboards for iPad Pro, Macs without touch screen, A Touch Bar instead of every key on the keyboard having an OLED surface, deprecated MacOS Server functions...the list goes on.  Lets not forget how they shunted Ubuntu's efforts with the GTAT sapphire supply chain scandal.  There is a dark side of the Apple giant.

Let me translate:  Windows 10x was obsolete before we could finish it.  So we'll find a way to sell to lower margin economies and put a few of its features in future updates while we figure out how innovate again.
