Even if macOS and iOS are my primary work (and personal) platforms these days, I still like a solution that works great on Windows, Linux, and Android as well.

Exactly, this is why many of the Apple services are useless unless you are 110% in their ecosystem. At least Apple Music is the one app they somehow made available on Android and Windows.

  There's a feature on the AirPods that allows you to enroll them in your iCloud account enabling Find My. All you need to do is connect the AirPods to an iCloud-enrolled Apple device, and it will automatically connect to that iCloud account. Oh, but it's not any iCloud-enrolled device, it must be an iOS device. Connecting them to my MacBook didn't do anything. I went into the Apple Store to ask for a solution to that problem. They legitimately asked me why I'm buying AirPods if I don't have an iPhone -- they're called Air Pods after all... Anyway, their proposed solution was for me to buy a refurbished iPad for $450 to connect the AirPods to my iCloud.

  Apple Music started its life as Beats IIRC, so a good cross-plat UX was part of the acquisition. See also Shazam.

I find 1Password to be sort of a pain when signing up for new accounts on my iphone – the generate secure password & autofill doesn't always work for me – on the web it's great though

I considered 1Password when shopping around for a new password manager, but the pricing of the subscription and the fact that it was an Electron app killed it for me. Currently test-driving a smaller alternative with a one-time payment.

  My passwords are split between iCloud on my Apple stuff and 1Password doing cross-platform duty. I've been paying for 1Password for a while, but boy that electron app they rolled out with v8 is a clunker… will probably keep paying so long as 1Password 7 works but after that I'm gonna have to figure something else out.
