I’m afraid you’re right.
My comment was meant to sound tongue-in-cheek.

Wen consumer mainboards with HBM?

So many parallels with the dot-com bubble and so much FOMO.
But the computer hardware shortage / price skyrocketing caused by the AI bros is a really bad extra.

Sounds like you’re letting ‘perfect’ be the enemy ‘good’.
An OS not being abused by Google or Apple to corral users is good enough for me.
I couldn’t care less whether it’s proprietary in this case.

Give me a fully open source phone, that’s capable of being a daily driver without funneling data to Google or Apple and we’re talking!
How nice that people can have different requirements for their phones 😉

I know how to reverse that ‘irreversible’ price spike…

I wish I could cancel my subscription, alas I have none.

It doesn’t.
The difference is that it’s easier to spot a phone in the hands of people where they shouldn’t have it in their hands pointed at you (say public toilet, sauna, changeingroom) than glasses in recording mode pointed at you.
I can magine scenarios that escalate more easily with glasses than phones.

Supposing the glasses are set to filming at inappropriate situations and the wearer of the glasses doesn’t respond to friendly requests - what then?

Protect yourself from what and at what price?
Oh, the price (privacy violation) will be paid by others - how convenient!
If anything Meta glasses endanger those who wear them…

Bluetooth devices have MAC addresses which can help tell Meta glasses apart from other BT devices.

Apparently in this case it’s a bit more complicated and you have to rely on https://www.bluetooth.com/specifications/assigned-numbers/ to identify glassholes.

At average each of the 4,000 people was creating close to $200,000 revenue.
What a nice way to say thank you.
Leeches…

Cultists live in a world that is sufficiently disjoint from the world others live in to make it make sense for them.

Bobby tables strikes again.
Just in case: https://xkcd.com/327/

What type of atom bombs?
There should be a difference in heat generation depending on the blasting power.
Well, well…

Some of the hardware sold under their name is/was quite ok.
I’m not sure who designed and created that stuff, though.

SailfishOS seems to run quite nicely, but has the limitations listed by you.
PostmarketOS seems to run a tad worse, but is fully open source.
Wouldn’t it make sense to support both, because otherwise there’s some danger of a chicken and egg situation:
people don’t use PostmarketOS, because it doesn’t work well enough. People don’t support PostmarketOS, because they don’t use it.
SailfishOS could pave the way for people using Linux phones and developing the need for completely open source ones after they realize the limitations of SailfishOS.
I can see that happening to me at least, because I ordered a Jolla phone with SailfishOS, which will hopefully be delivered in a few months (batch #3). I chose SailfishOS over PostmarketOS because of their Android app compatibility layer being fully aware this part isn’t open source and that I will eventually trying to get rid of that situation.
The demand for having a Linux phone soon that may be able to become my daily driver was more pressing than facing the risk of getting frustrated by PostmarketOS.

Gotta be on reddit to get banned there 🤓

How is a phone not compromised if it hosts apps that play into the hands of evil actors?

Sounds like a compromised phone in the sense that it doesn’t protect (and instead transmit) the private key.

But the key exchange is not the issue then.
Access to private keys is.
If the host system, on which the key exchange runs, is compromised, you’re toast.
