9to5mac.com Zac Hall 2026-02-14 17:56:20

Five years ago, Apple reportedly considered acquiring podcast studio Wondery for around $400 million. At the time, Spotify and other companies were spending millions on putting podcasts behind paywalls to boost their businesses and steal mindshare from Apple. Ultimately, Wondery went to Amazon. For its part, Apple redefined “subscribing” to a podcast to mean paying a monthly fee for member-supported perks. Wondery became one of many podcast studios with paid subscription features inside Apple’s

One of the easiest Linux firewalls is UFW and its GUI sidekick, GUFW. I've been using Linux for nearly 30 years. Over those years, I've experienced only one security issue (a rootkit on a server I inherited). The reason for that is Linux's heightened security.
