Why do you need to automate it and do multiple decoy accounts? Can't you just make a single account and use it to subscribe to a bunch of the biggest communities?

That's filament leaking out, if it's coming through your thermistor that's a sign that your thermistor might be loose or something? You might need to disassemble, clean, and reassemble your whole hot end.

If you're not a power user, then it'll probably work fine for several years. And it will be cheap and easy to replace the battery in 3-5 years when it starts to degrade, or replace the screen if you drop it. Not sure if a full 10 year lifespan is realistic, though.

And you're right, the price is high, but it's not supposed to be an affordable phone. The stated goal of the Fairphone is to be better for the environment and better for people than most other electronics. So, they have to do things like use sustainable materials and source parts from places that treat their workers well. All of that means that Fairphones will NEVER be as cheap as other brands. Because doing things right costs more.

I've been using Flym since they killed Reader.

Again, laptops with that chipset kind of already exist. Steam Deck uses a custom AMD APU, but it's really not that special. The point of the customization is to make it work well in that handheld form factor. If you're putting it in a laptop you might as well just use a more common (and more powerful) laptop chipset because you have more space.

But there are already a hundred laptops with similar specs that will run Linux.... There's not much reason for Valve to release a laptop.

Lots of guides on YouTube to do this: https://youtu.be/KQVQOq0Tpgo?si=sYUEz1CnBPQGQ6Ch

Basically, you need to use SSH to communicate with your Pi. That way you don't need a monitor.

The SIM is just an identifier. There's nothing particularly special on a SIM card, that's why the switch to eSIM has happened so seamlessly. So, you're right; it's totally POSSIBLE that an eSIM could stick around if you delete. But it's also possible that your phone could save the info on a SIM card.

For the record, I don't think that's likely. Your phone's operating system (iPhone or Android) is built by a different company than the carriers that presumably want to track you. I doubt they're secretly colluding with carriers, because Apple and Google (especially Google) have enormous business models built around tracking you, and profiting off your data.
