  • Your point is only valid if you trust the government, and you have a right not to trust them. A government you dont trust can use anything on your phone to put some bullshit charge on you, there is no phone, even a minimal phone, that does not have something on there they could use to pin some shit on you. I think you have to plan rules around a possible untrustworthy/fascist government while you have a normal government. Like habeus corpus, right to be forgotten, information requests, etc.

    The current american government seems completely batshit insane of the rails, which is why I am using my privilege to never have to go there, to never go there. Some folk must go there, and they need basic protections against fascist rulers. I think, your point boils down to fascism-light. ’ You shouldn’t have incriminating stuff on there '… the only way to do that is with a burner.

    Using a portable -one hose- AC give me about 5 degrees delta in half my small house during the EU heatwave, in my case improving on passive cooling by multiples, so your last sentence just sound like ’ I’ve never felt the effects of portable AC’ to me. probably pretty common in the US, but EU houses often dont come with AC preinstalled.

    I get that it’s a dumb system, and I even knew before I bought this one hose monstrosity, but it’s what is available to us here right now, and the fact that a split ac or window ac or 2 hose airco system (there was 1 model available to me locally, and it was sold out) is way more efficient doesn’t magically make the one hose version work bad. It still uses the compression cycle for refrigeration, which is very powerful even when used inefficiently.
