skull723··on A single line of code cost $8000
Not really. I run several web applications on one 15$ VPS. Although the user count is <5. But I think it would need quite a lot of users for the resource usage to go up to a critical level.
skull723··on More annoying macOS 15 Sequoia prompts: Bluetooth
It's on by default because they assume you want to use your airpods and other apple peripherals.

If stuff like this bothers you, don't use apple.

Got my first computer with a modem in my bedroom when I was 14 in 1997. Meaning, I explored the emerging internet unsupervised. Of course, I watched a lot of porn.

Or alternatively use am existing tool that fits him.
