I replaced all of mine with Nvidia shield and Walmart onn streaming pucks. It's a better experience in every way (once projectivy is installed) and costs less too.
I use it. No complaints here. They've recently reduced their rates. The alternatives are more involved and more expensive. I put my remote Borg repos on rsync.net
Because I use Borg I don't really need their zfs snapshots but those are pretty cool too.
I have multiple Borg repos, so rather than add a remote for each I just rclone everything at once to rsync.

Activities I only use for hiking. I don't wear a watch cycling or kayaking. Looking forward to trying the snowboarding activity though.

The one you can keep for at least 5 years and still receive updates. I'm rocking a OnePlus 7 pro with crdroid 10.2 (android 14). No need to change unless it dies or 4g stops performing.
My friend's apartment burned down when his cat knocked over a candle. Make of that what you will.
