iOS settings has data usage by app, including several “system services.” Do those numbers not add up?

Apple gives you an option for telemetry on first boot. No idea how much that option turns off. Not sure if the phone sends anything to Apple with that option and not using Apple services (that’s pretty hard because of the App Store; if you

iMessage is, as far as anyone knows, end-to-end encrypted.* There is a macOS client, so it seems likely that any backdoor in the encryption would have been found via diassembly by now. * looks like Apple is trusted for key discovery. Abuse

I haven’t used OpenOffice much? But it feels much less polished than Office or iWork. I guess there’s Google Docs, but even that’s limited compared to even iWork. Is there anything actually decent that can be used for “Office” stuff on Linu
