    Data hoard enough shit to get you through however many decades you have left and get off grid.

    That’s literally the only solution that’s going to be left.

      Can I just have a dumbphone and an offline computer that can run eu4? Id be pretty set. If I could get podcasts somehow though, I’d miss my podcasts, but I could live without.

      Not sure that is going to be a solution either. Have you seen HDD prices lately?

      In the end, corporate buyers are cornering the market for self-use technology. Once the consumer market is gone, and habits change, there may be no going back since a new subscription market will be built and self-perpetuating. So I hope the AI bubble pops before that happens.

        Have you seen the capacity of a phone with cracked screen, lately? Slap Syncthing on it, if you can’t be bothered with PostmarketOS, for a cheap, low-power, solar compatible backup solution or a Kiwix server or something. I ran an email server on one for years. People toss out amazing things these times.
