theres also nebula and netbird

if theft is a concern. record IMEI number and they(carriers etc) will probably blacklist the phone from mobile networks and maybe aid the tracking(investigation…if any). which, afterwards, lowers resale value

good point. i did not realize that

yet another google “proxy” : https://www.lukol.com/

looks cool. but it uses wolfram… https://www.wolfram.com/legal/privacy/wolfram and also collects analytics by default.
regardless of what a privacy policy says… it’s too tempting for AI companies not to use user input in non-direct ways. i wouldn’t trust any AI company and probably not even the host.

it could raise rent prices if you live in an attractive city. college educate people may use the available data to inform the confidence of their relocation decisions. also realestate speculators, but mostly there are better sources.

environmentalists might not like it for obvious reasons.

And cache

You really trust a company(google) who warns users about malware from apks(non-google)… and then hosts plenty of unchecked malware in their own store. Im sick of this shit. I have my own friends distrusting me because of what google is telling them.

Google is corrupt

Too late.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ReactOS already exists

you can run tor on it

thats kinda true. (even excluding gemini lynx user like myself) comps and phones have reached overkill for most users. therefore sff is totally fine for most users.
truth is… only reason i dont have a bigger pc is that i want flexibility to move apt if my landlord raises rent. thats literally the only reason.
otherwise i would have dual socket, 8 sticks memory, full sized gpu, etc.
i dont mind not having all that. although, it could be used for something… currently it would be used for nothing.

i dont think alot of ppl need a super small comp. it comes with disadvantages. harder or more limited upgrades.

my guess is: quadrennial lenovo usff/sff . the intel nuc is nice&easy to uprade the limited set of parts for ultra longterm use.

basically no, because all existing modern software requires either wayland and/or Xwayland(xorg)
