  I comment in a different part of this thread how my spouse and just share everything, but I complete get what you are saying.

  I’m in the same place as you with my spouse, but we didn’t start with not trusting each other. I just never worry about my spouse knowing things about me—I cannot imagine what I wouldn’t tell her anyway.

  My spouse has (multiple) physical journals lying around the house. I would never read them—she doesn’t worry about hiding them.

  Remember to think about your backup strategy if you use locally managed password software. I’ve helped (and been unable to help) some non-technical folks who relied on popular magazine/new site articles for software selection without good knowledge of how to properly backup their data.

  This work between certain states. For instance, you can drive into Oregon and shop with no sales tax then return to California or Washington with your goods.

  Liquor is also much cheaper in some states than others—you can really stock up if you are already driving through a state.

  Article says you cannot side load books on Apple Books. That is incorrect. You just send an epub to books via the share menu on Mac or iOS and it loads it. Also syncs it via iCloud if you want it to.

  Perhaps the author meant you cannot download purchased books off of Apple Books.
