I ended up having to buy Bluetooth headphones just to listen to music on my iPhone which has its own problems because they have to be charged all the time.
Employing an internal economist might be able to give you an idea of financial things going on in the world, but employing an economist who writes for a prominent media company or is on TV allows you to shape how the public THINKS about economics and financial markets which is much more powerful.
Perhaps the tweet is not an open admission of this, but it doesn’t take a lot of effort to connect the dots.

To answer your question, I have a total of 73 windows open at the moment. 11 of them are from applications with a single window open, 8 are from iTerm, and 54 are from Sublime Text. I am aware that is quite a lot for Sublime, but that is just how I use it.
Regardless, I just quit Sublime Text, and the memory usage only dropped to 8.9GB still absurdly high for having 19 windows open.
Here are a couple sources if you are curious:

You can alternatively look up the IP address using something other than Cloudflare DNS and add entries to your /etc/hosts file for archive.is and archive.today.
Subscription services to me are only justified if they are providing a SERVICE which they are with the web version and ability to sync through their own servers, however, using a local version with your own vault can be done without any service at all.
So to me this looks like them intentionally crippling their own software in order to force people into paying a subscription fee that is not necessary. They already hide the ability to purchase a standalone license for 1Password 7 trying to get people to pay the subscriptions so this is the next logical step.
That said, the idea of trusting a central bank that is completely unaccountable to the public or even to the Government is crazy to me.
