I’d do it

Worth a shot. The question is whether the modem has its own fuse and isn’t integrated into the head unit

eSIM. Gotta gut the modem and hopefully not break anything

You can tell the author hasn’t spent much time in the Linux world.

I use premium and even then it’s getting shitty. The UI sucks now and I get so many crap gen AI videos that aren’t my subscriptions. I keep intending to run invidious, I should do that today

Don’t use or trust avg

You’re missing one major step. It’ll be 100 up front plus a monthly fee to your cloud gaming access to be able to play the game until they decide you don’t get the license to play it anymore and they take it away. You will own nothing and like it.

As a us citiczen I’m more and more looking at my phone as a hostile device. I have Graphene on one phone and an iPhone, but with how things are going these days who knows how secure these devices really are. Apple iOS is a black box. Android is not much better, and they’re now faster than laptops and most desktops. They can be running and recording and reporting anything and still sip battery life. I’ve since deleted social media apps outside of lemmy and HN. I use my little e-reader more than my phone. All my personal stuff is in encrypted cloud that is not iCloud, I don’t use biometrics to unlock it. But I still don’t trust it. I’m beginning to think carrying it in a foil bag until I need it is a good idea.
