What I mean is: You can type an entire novel on a computer, and oopsie a random cosmic bitflip and system crashes and now its all gone. Or you do a lot of filming and the digital file can get corrupted. Where as stuff like, a typewriter, it’s less likely to just be all gone due to some malfunctions. Same with film, a cosmic bitflip can’t delete all your footage.
Know what I’m sayin’?
True, until its illegal to use your own hardware and you are required to log into bezosnet from your Amazon issued mandatory dumb terminal (which must always be on and internet connected with camera, basically like alexa that idiots have in their homes).
OP has a right to be un trusting. Im damn glad im not any younger. If I were id be learning everything I can about using open source software and cyber security. Also its proven already that we are being recorded and monitored 24/7 from our smartphones, unless you have a graphene phone.
