I remember hearing that it was mostly going to use practical effects. I thought that it would be refreshing, paying homage to the original series... then I saw the film.

Technically, using a modern CPU is a security risk. (Intel's Management Engine & AMD's Platform Security Processor)

If you're on a phone, try Newpipe. If it is AndroidTV, there's only one - SmartTube.

@matcherock, It appears to use microG and some other security focused tools preloaded.

There are user friendly options if you're willing to use them. There's /e/ foundation's Murena phone that you can buy. It's based on LineageOS for microG with a custom launcher much like iOS. It works out of the box, no tinkering. There's also GrapheneOS that has a web interface for installation. It is only for Google Pixel phones and takes a different approach to privacy than LineageOS for microG. They both work in protecting your privacy. As far as computer OSes, there are many "easy to use" options for the novice - PopOS & Linux Mint are the best two that come to mind.

The hate for the "single page" 1040 is now coming into focus.

It's a spy camera trying to catch a glimpse of his messages on Signal.

I personally see this as bad. Look at all the local television stations getting bought up and have become "message deliverers". There are only few companies that own the majority and have decided that delivering local news is secondary to deploying a message. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_fHfgU8oMSo]

I use bone conductors almost all the time. They're great.
