Did any of you ever fall for the dumbphone meme?

Just wondering. I purchased this Nokia 225 4G nearly two years ago and didn't have a good experience with it. The biggest issue was that texts always got scrambled because the time servers were bugged and messages would show up as being sent a few hours in the past. Eventually I put my SIM card back in my old phone and left the Nokia in a drawer before tossing it in the trash about a year ago.
Now I want to go back to it, but I know I'd still have a shit experience. I don't know if I should research better dumb options or just put a custom operating system like Graphene on my Pixel. Curious if you guys have dealt with anything similar.

it still doesnt completely disable Microsofts data collection

Why is that the case? As far as I know tools like Chris Titus WinUtil disables most or all of the telemetry

There's one on eBay right now for no less than $14,848.20: https://www.ebay.com/itm/405418935984

...along with one on Amazon for $10,000: https://www.amazon.com/MSI-Entertainment-i7-12800HX-16-Core-Personal/dp/B0B6T2T9LB/

It seems to be the most powerful laptop there is, which explains the high price.

This one comes with 16 terabytes of disk space, but it seems to be unavailable right now: https://www.amazon.com/Mavark-Stealth-i9-13900H-GeForce-Resolution/dp/B0BYTC2PFV

Like I said, I'm looking for the laptop that's simply the best of the best.


I've never used Linux before, but I know that you can't run many games (or much of anything else) on it like you can with Windows.

MSI is absolute garbage

there might still be deeply hidden and embedded data collection somewhere i think


I dont think you can truly know as the source code is private as its propertiary

No, but I wish I fell for the no-smartphone meme.
