I use the TouchID on my MacBook several times a day because it unlocks the password manager and wallet.
On Mac and iPad it’s option-shift-hyphen.
Also there’s the en-dash (option-hypen on Mac/iPad), which is slightly shorter: –

Apple Podcasts app on any platform. If you subscribe to like more than few dozen podcasts it runs at a snail’s pace even on the latest M1 and M2 devices from my experience. I turned off automatic downloads and it still ran slow. I don’t know why because a podcast app should be little different than an rss reader in theory, no?
