I think this approach works for the newer and more expensive models but not for the SE (which is what I had). The SE's battery is only rated to last 18 hours and does not offer fast charging, so taking it off and sticking it on the cha

I made the switch a few years ago, but I recall the Apple watch taking much longer than 30 mins to charge. The current iteration of the Apple Watch SE (which is what I had) claims that the battery lasts 18 hours and can charge from 0-80% in

Do you actually use the mic and speaker on your watch like Maxwell Smart, or do you need to also carry a bluetooth headset or pair of AirPods to take calls from your watch?

If you'll scroll up to the comment you originally replied to, you'll see that I said Android and iOS have AV capabilities built into the OS and app delivery ecosystem. That's more than enough for most users: mobile OSes have

No, ClamAV doesn't have an iOS version. There are plenty of iOS-specific AV programs available if you need one, though.

The returns might look better if you factor in imputed rent (assuming this is your primary residence). There are definitely investments with higher growth, but the (untaxed!) imputed rent is solid income over the lifetime of the house.
