I had been using SmartOS for a long time but finally had to bite the bullet and give up. I ended up deciding on Proxmox on a ZFS root and am quite happy with it.
I once had a manager consistently try to pressure me and a few other developers to work in a "war room" setting to complete a project that was slipping past the deadline. He wanted to be part of it too, despite being non-technical and consistently slowing us down with impossible prescriptive solutions.

I’m pretty sure Apple could figure this out pretty easily by running it on an Android device themselves, considering they control the endpoints it talks to
Unifi is just their name for this series of products that all work together with their (free) controller. So you buy an AP, a switch, a router, all from the Unifi line of products and they all get setup from a single controller and work together pretty effortlessly

Then you have PayPal and CashApp and other things in more of an in-between area. And then you have certain services like iCloud where it might make more sense to use your Real Number for some of their features and exceptions to the rule have to be made
I've used this for a few months to transcribe interviews and it works pretty well. The UI for dealing with multiple speakers is a bit cumbersome, and there are occasional crashes, but overall definitely a great app and worth the money
I'm curious what locale you're in and how popular WhatsApp is there. I feel some sort of way about having to make a WhatsApp account for this sort of communication, over, say, a phone call, text message, or email
