>tails os usb wristband
I don't like Tails because it includes too much 3rd party software which allows it to be exploited (see that operation where a feds deaninymised a drug dealer by exploiting a 0-day in the gnome video player). Also, includes proprietary firmware. However, it's still significantly better than any distro (You) likely have installed, so it's not the worst advice. I'm not sure why you need the wristband just carry the usb like a normal person
>flipper zero
Not sure how you'd use that to "vanish online". It's fine to have one if you have a use for it but it's a toy, if you're serious you're better off using something like a hackrf +proxmark3 (for device cloning).
>travel router
Seems good if you have firmqare such as openwrt on librecmc installed, which you ahould have on all routers you use.
>programmable smartwatch
I still do not understand why anyone would never need a smartwatch. Better than proprietary alternatives I suppose but still unnecessary.
>kiwix+offline wikipedia
Good, it allows you to archive not only wikipedia but also other mediawiki wikis, programming docs etc. i myself use this program (https://github.com/birros/web-archives) instead of Kiwix because the Kiwix app is bloated, including the entirety of qt6 webengine (chromium), whike web-archives relies on the lighter gtk webkit.
>ipod classic
Definitely better to listen to your music that way rather than spotify but i personally opted for a more mininalistic mp3 player.
>pi-hole and unbound
Good, nothing to complain about here.
>framework laptop
Dogshit, ships with intel boot guard which means you cannot install libreboot/canoeboot on it, therefore making you forever cucked.

>>40104
I appreciate your effortpost

>>40104
yeah, no fucking idea why the framework team didnt go with coreboot considering they heccin talk about muh open source bullshit
>archive mediawikis
do dis to the sharty

>>40099 (OP)
i use a glinet router and this guys clearly fucking larping some shit hes never done before except as a "hobby"

>Be Framework
>Close source the UEFI
>Solder the CPU, but its OK because you can just swap the entire motherboard. A socket costs 1mm Z height, goyim
>Make new PCIe connection standard #1000 that no one will use instead of something like Oculink or MCIO + DisplayPort
>Thin and light aluminiumslop that will be demolished on the first drop because a 90lb bipoc latinx needs to be able to carry it to class or so you can fit at least 5 in a backpack
>Overpriced, bespoke dongles except inset to take up chassis space
>"Modular" but nothing but the keyboard is hotswappable. Not the battery or PCIe expansion bay on the 16
Truly Indian design at its finest

>>40158
What other laptop do I get then?

>>40169
look up thinkpads that have features you want? then see if a business is liquidating them on ebay for an insanely low price

like don't even decide on a specific model just go by price

for things like
>T490s
>T490
>X1 carbon 10th gen
etc

i7 is way better than i5, so try to get a post-9th gen i7 for less than $300

>>40186
what about other linux computer manufacturers like system76 and others.

>>40190
i don't see the point, i kind of want to just modify an IBM T60p and put a chinese motherboard with some recent cpu instead of a 2007 pentium, then ill have a titanium chasis and 4:3 formfactor

>>40195
I thought the "X210Ai" is the only modern board for an old 'pad

>>40158
i dont get whats the point of framework when any meaningful upgrade will cost you nearly as much as getting a whole new laptop.

i was quite interested in the framework 16 as a desktop replacement until i learned this

What is this soyboy trying to sell me?

>>40104
yeah i use deadsec os on a usb with tails os in a vm in that live enviroment
