Parallels was up for renewal today.
~AU$140/year
Used to use it a lot when I was working in different roles but now only used for a single VM.
Took a bit of effort to get up and running but switched to UTM - open source. Bit embarrassed it took so long for the switch.
While I was at it I also got rid of some other software that I know has heaps of telemetry and could be considered somewhat user-hostile:
- Raycast - I’d already switched back to Alfred recently
- Warp - now using Ghostty
