Yeah, I've heard that's a concern. I also heard that there hasn't been enough failures to know when you should expect batteries to fail. I've heard numbers like 300k-500k miles, since the cells inside the batteries are rated for thousands and thousands of cycles. I guess one way to hedge your bets would be to buy one that has modular battery replacements, so you only pay 4k vs 20k
I actually emailed their support asking about the lifetime licensing, and they did mention they calculate/ limit the lifetime licenses to be sustainable. I hope they are able to succeed and be around for a while with their price modeling. Maybe lifetime won't be for sale for much longer
I've noticed this too. I have to open the app for sync to start happening. I raised this concern to their customer support and they quickly responded saying they'll pass it to the dev team. Fingers crossed they add a fix soon.
I've read that quite a few EVs have batteries where you can swap individual modules, and don't need to replace the entire battery arrangement if something fails. That seems to bring the price down significantly, especially considering you won't be spending money on oil changes, timing belts etc
I recently found out about Circles and was hoping to migrate friends and family to it, but it's just too much of a learning curve to get things set up.
I have a beefed up Intel NUC running Proxmox (and my self hosted services within those VMs) and a stand alone NAS that I mount on the necessary VMs via fstab.
I really like this approach, as it decouples my storage and compute servers.
Very disappointing. Does Apple sell Air Tag data to 3rd parties?
