I think it’d be a full screen ai client app running on linux, probably on cage. why bother with the nt and win32 and whatever middlewares. linux is externally maintained. saved dev money can be used for power/ram bills instead.

setting up vps requires money which ideally children do not have access to (not even crypto)

modern ssds have on board firmware that executes actual nvme (or sata) commands. so it’s possible a bad dma driver can coincide with a firmware bug to result in unexpected behaviour.

os updates write large amount of data to disk at once. especially a highly bloated os like modern windows. whatever the trigger, it’s still faulty nand controller. you can very well cooy a 20G file and see disk is corrupted.

I don’t understand. writing large amount of data at once breaks nand controller? and how that’s an os issue?

does dial up work over 4/5G voice call? I tested over voip and it doesn’t due to distortions in analog signal (maybe some optimization?).

My US visa officer: what do you mean you did not have ‘social’ media accounts in 5 years? No, these weird sites don’t count. Underground terrorist? Straight to gulag.

Who says any of my stalking OSInt accounts is my real identity?

Edit: /s ofc. Who would use those crappy apps on phone anyway.

wait US is putting surveillance on techno producers?

yes. also your friends, not only mom.

(/s aside, most people of younger generations don’t care as well, not only elderly less tech literate folks)

IMO the only reason tech world can be authoritarian is people’s negligence. Otherwise even if all major brands produce unhackable locked down hardware, people could boycott those and buy the one obscure open device (like pine64) and market force will force big names to revert.

Corporations do not have power by themselves. People refusing to think and understand gives them power. Same applies to mainstream politics.

Why would anyone use the software? Aren’t modern printers plug and play?

Give bhyve a try. Especially on illumos host.

This paired with virtualization features (hopefully with working sommelier) potentially enable running desktop wayland apps on phone.

Yes it is possible to create disposable-isque api keys for different uses. The monetary cost is the cost of privacy and of not having hardware to run things locally.

If you have reliable privacy friendly api vendor suggestions then do share. While I do not need such services now, it can a good future reference.

Nope, these services almost always require user login, eventually tied to cell number (ie non disposable) and associate user content and other data points with account. Nonetheless user prompts are always collected. How they’re used is a good question.
