Ah ok, same as in Germany then. Though they are getting more and more liberties, to the point of signing you up by themselves and then it's on you to prove you don't own a TV. And since a few years, even a laptop or phone qualifies since you can use those to access public broadcasting channels through their website, making it really hard to prove you got absolutely nothing, unless you can somehow convince them to be both blind and deaf.

What's that about, for the non-Brits casually hanging out in this community?
Years ago, my TV is a screen only. I'm using a Nvidia Shield to display content for privacy purposes. I watch movies and shows from Netflix or pirate whatever isn't on there, and if I need news I'll get them online.
You can bypass this crap, but you'll need to root your phone to achieve that.
Afterwards you'll need to install magisk (superuser app) and a bunch of plugins: play integrity fix and playcurl_next (to simulate that your phone is unrooted), and then FlagSecurePatcher (which is the actual module that's overriding the screenshot block.
Yeah we still had an old 8086 with tape drive and all from my dad's university times around, but I never acutely used that one.
You absolutely can. What really helps is to stop using any kind of digital devices about 2h before you intend to sleep, then workout for a bit, and chase that down with some meditation. Focused breathing exercises are enough, no need to go full guru.
Afterwards take a shower, go go bed, and read a book. You'll have to force yourself to make it through the current chapter, guaranteed.
My 286er had 2MB RAM and no hard drive, just two 5.25" floppy drives. One to boot the OS from, the other for storage and software.
I upgrade it to 4 MB RAM and bought a 20 MB hard drive, moved EVERY piece of software I had onto it, and it was like 20% full. I sincerely thought that should last forever.
Today I casually send my wife a 10 sec video from the supermarket to choose which yoghurt she wants and that takes up about 25 MB.
I don't agree with most of those.
Rubbish, the superuser app will prompt you if an app asks for permissions, and you need to grant it manually. The warning message is distinctively different from regular popups, and there is a 5 second cooldown timer before you can click it, to make sure it's not happening accidentally.
