@_Omega_ or just get Nokia 3310
 

.....people still use screens savers?
 
I don't think you need to worry about email being outdated, you are well ahead of them in that

Look for a device that supports either LineageOS, which will need an unlocked bootloader, or has ample bootloader unlock support on the website:
https://xda-developers.com
 
This will ensure you can upgrade the android software to use recent programs, or switch out the pre-installed software and put KDE plasma with opensuse Linux o. the device and learn the world's most widely used operating system.
 
For android, my signature (below any of my posts) details some android firewall / domain (website) name service or DNS tools to protect your privacy and prevent tracking and needless network connections.
 
For web browsers, Firefox is open-source.  The main software removed "about:config" so use Fennec instead, same software, same developers, just has about:config re-enabled.  I encourage you to use Firefox instead of Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Brave, or Vivaldi, as all of them have one thing in common:
 
Those browsers are all just using Google's so-called open-source Chromium browser.  If we can see all the code, what's the issue?  It further pushes Google's dominance of website development, similar to how Microsoft's IE6 was the standard for almost a decade.  Now some website's recommend using Google Chrome to be viewed properly.
 
Firefox supports open web standards, and online-privacy, which Google's business model is in stark contrast, at minimum, the privacy side.  Firefox is a great browser to support but has less thab 7% on desktop, and less than 0.5% on mobile platforms.

Why might you want to use a different system on a touch-screen device?  To open the software possibilities, or learn more about computer systems.
 
Never heard of Linux, or think it's too complicated?  Windows Server is so terrible that Microsoft used Linux servers in 2003 and later to host some of their websites and email servers.  Microsoft hosts mostly (over 50%l Linux systems (the software being used by users or developers) on their Azure cloud.  Microsoft even develops their own Linux distribution called CBL-Mariner.  Linux powers over 66% of all online web servers and websites.  This includes Android, Amazon, Cloudflare, Hulu, Netflix, NIH, NOAA, NASA, Steam (game software), and many more I would like to mention but am unaware of.
 
Linux is used by major film studios like Dreamworks and Marvel, and if I actually researched this more, I could add many more examples.  Linux allows connecting computers together to accomplish tasks that would take too long on a single pc.
Lastly, Steam is on Linux which integrates Wine, which allows much easier compatibility for previously Windows-only games to be played on Linux.  This increases system security, somewhat reduce memory requirements with very light and basic "window managers" such as WindowMaker, allowing me to play new games while still only having a single 2GB stick of memory.  I have another stick, but it is stored elsewhere, and so I can just run a lighter graphical interface vs KDE and play games just fine.
 
I encourage you to learn about Linux, as that is the system the makes Android possible.  iOS and Mac OS is using UNIX, or some form of Berkeley Software Distribution, BSD, which Linux is directly related to.  UNIX used to be proprietary, and significantly expensive decades ago, with a UNIX system costing over $50,000 USD, many years ago.
 
I encourage you to learn about device repairability, right-to-repair, open-source, and Linux.  If you want tp get started using Linux, I recommend, because of the beautiful wallpapers of nature:
 
Linux Mint.  I recommend either the Cinnamon desktop, or if you have less than 2GB of system memory (and want to play games of recent time) use the much lighter XFCE desktop for just basic menus and interface.  Window Maker can be installed later on any system and using the "configure" option in its menu, scrolling to the right, and clicking the light blue button which is for editing the theme, you can do quite a lot using a custom amount of color gradients for the user interface.
 
I hope all of this is at least read by someone on the forum that is not already aware or knowledgable in these topics and seeks to dive into the world of open-source that runs so much of our world.

Everyone knows that RGB is the fundamental and essential for anything with 'gaming' tag products (Holy $h!t, there's even a lightbulb in RGB??! This is game changing, it's gonna boost my games from 69 to 420FPS)

I did have an iphone 13 but just got the S23 Ultra today

Doesn't matter what "We" think.
It's his stuff and he can do whatever he wants to do with it, our approval, disproval or otherwise need not apply.
 

As an internet user, can confirm

? I have a note 9 and pay with Samsung pay and every one is always like "oh your using Apple pay?" It's so much less work to just accept it then to stop and explain. I feel your pain.

That's just what Jake does. I have all the love for everyone else on the LTT team but Jake just rubs me the wrong way. 

I don't understand why everybody thinks Linus NEEDS to give back. He bought the parts with his own company money. I don't go into your house and see you have 3 Tv's and tell you to donate them somewhere. Its crazy to think that way. Don't get me wrong, It would be fantastic if he did donate some PC's or other parts but that's his choice. 

I remember the kickstarter campaign and remember how much of a failure it was. I wish I could find one out in the wild because I would totally pick it up. I love weird devices like that! Knockoff Items and weird tech items are my jam.

I agree. Just unplug it from the wall and if you feel like something is going to happen to your PC cover it.  I've never had to worry about that though. 

I don't remember that? I know Scotty keeps saying he wants to release more regular content, but he needs to find more permanent housing before he can do that lol..

I have my phillips hue light bulbs in my living room and then a Merkury smart wifi plug in my bedroom since i legit just turn off and on the lights. All this is hooked up to my google assistant. You could always get a power strip and put a lamp and a fan on it so when you goto bed you can have a routine for sleep that turns off the light and starts the fan.
