I have 2 MacBooks, and I network attach 6 Seagate 5TB portable external drives to those Macs (three to each of the 2 Macs). That's about 30TB available directly over my home router.
Seems to work fine, and the Seagates are far less costly than most NAS drives. Though, they do die occasionally. Oops.
Basically, I found a way to make my older Mac useful by simply leaving it on all the time, with the external drives attached.
My concern, beyond giving my phone to another party
There's always a hack, but I'm not clear on what this could entail.
maybe sometimes?
Exactly. Almost never in the history of the world has major power and wealth simply been given away.
Musk is smart and capable and extremely successful.
But that's no guarantee that this prediction will pan out.
In a year's time, or two or three, someone should remind him of this erroneous thought.
Also, please remember this Tweet he posted 3 months ago:

"I stand by my prediction that, if Tesla executes extremely well over the next 5 years, that the long term value could exceed Apple and Aramco combined"
Right, Sure.
And fully autonomous cars, and the rise of twitter (X) as the sole source of Truth.
25 years ago, I wrote a book (published by John Wiley & Sons) predicting this. It was obvious back in 1997 that this was gonna be a sure thing.
On one of the first pages of my book, I wrote: "Television is something that watches you."
i guess Apple is hurting financially,
and needs to move from Trillion dollar valuations to Gazillion dollar
how about fire all executives who don't enforce good security?
I mean, what's wrong with requiring basic security measures? with severe penalties for lax operations and enforcement.
ya know, expect decent levels of management.
"Astronomers Grapple with JWST’s Discovery of Early Galaxies" is an article, this month in Scientific American.
https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/astronomers-grapple-with-jwsts-discovery-of-early-galaxies1/
Here's the gist of it: "Researchers are convinced the James Webb Space Telescope has glimpsed an unexpected population of galaxies in the early universe. Now they’re trying to decide what this means for our understanding of the cosmos."

As the science advances, maybe we'll learn more about this. Right now, any statement of certainty is simply fake BS.

I meant to say that I was a freshman in High School.
I'm old now, and well past my 'Best Used By' date.
Yeah, it wasn't mine. It belonged to IBM Watson Labs at Columbia University, and I was a Freshman in college.
The IBM 650 was a 2,000-word, drum-based machine that I programmed in machine language, SOAP, and Fortransit, feeding punched cards into the beast, and thrilled when any results appeared on the printer.
When new observation(s) don't fit with existing theory, scientists get excited. There's something new to learn.
This is always the way science works. Never quite sure the current theology is correct, and always on the lookout for things that don't fit. Jeepers, they're still looking for things that don't fit Einstein's General Theory of Relativity.
Photoshop was 2 years old when the photo was presumed to have been taken. The technology did not exist, as far as I know, to edit the film negative. But, perhaps, the negative is just a photo of a photo. It'd be good to analyze the negative.
On the other hand, Pitlochry is not all that far from Loch Ness, when traveling at warp speed or faster. So, maybe it was just off course.
U.S.-China Strategic Competition in Technology: Analysis and Prospects.
I have saved a PDF of the Google Translated version of the document (https://uscnpm.org/2022/02/06/pku-iiss-2022-report-tech-competition/). Original link to the Chinese language document was kindly posted earlier by GameboyRMH.
The PDF is here:

It seems like a coherent analysis from the Chinese point of view. In that regard, it's quite illuminating.
The herd instinct among economists makes sheep look like independent thinkers.
