    Free apps were already pretty unsustainable in iOS to begin with given the $99 yearly developer fee :/

        Maybe it is just me, but I paid only 50€ for late 16 macbook and got late 13 for free. Ssd and memory upgrades were about 100€ (dumpster ram) and both run ventura and sonoma (OCLP) without a hitch. And both work perfectly for programming and such.

      Is that what they charge? I always wondered why the Apollo guy charged a subscription for premium services, while RiF was like $4.99 one time. Guess that’s why.
