  • How much can you get out of a $4 VPS?
    I rented my first VPS 15 years ago and it was cheap. IIRC the VPS software was called Virtuozzo.

  • 2 hours to update Series 3? Try 2 days.
    You can find the list of compatible watches all the way at the bottom of this page: apple.com/watchos/watchos-7 (it's right above the SDK section) Hope that helps clear up your confusion! Source: almost 3 years ago
