I rely pretty heavily on manual focus and focus peaking. Primarily because my main lens I find myself using is my 70-180 AF Macro with the FTZ adapter, which doesn't autofocus with the Z bodies. When using Z lenses (like the 24-120 S) then I'll use autofocus along with peaking.

I was in your situation recently.
10+ years ago, I had sold all my Canon kit including a 5DMkII and some EF L lenses and I wanted to pick up photography again. I was luckily not committed to a specific brand since I didn't have any of my kit left so I was free to look at other platforms. I had a few friends with cameras and tested some different platforms out but ultimately settled on Nikon.
I currently have a full frame Z6II mirrorless and I like it very much. It's lighter and more compact than my Canon setup was, and I also feel like the lens selection and price (both Z and F) are better than it was when I had Canon. My favorite part of mirrorless is the focus peaking. I find myself using it along with manual focusing for about half my shots.
Look around at other platforms like Nikon, Sony, OM, etc. before you commit because it would be a good time to switch of you did want to. If you stay with Canon, I definitely recommend looking at mirrorless.
There shouldn't be any back end beeper servers with this implementation if they really do what they say and interface directly with Apple servers.
So if the app will be open source like they say, can't we just build it ourselves and not pay $2/mo?
Looks like Microsoft Pluton is a newly implemented security chip in some 2022+ processors. Definitely not ideal, but I imagine there are already people working to bypass arising issues.
It's concerning to me, but I've yet to see it. I stream from my NAS to a plex client though, so maybe it's only windows playback.
I don't see it available on the proton page, deals, or in my account. Thoughts?
If you download from the github it has swipe.
