Good idea. I dont know why that didnt occur to me, i actually have a tablet that i could use for that.

A pocket linux pc would be great. Why do you want to keep the sim in the normie phone? Or is that just in case you get a handheld that doesnt have a sim slot?

Whats the issue with taking (1) and/or (3) in international trips? Is it about those countries that want to search you phone at the airport?

Yea, maybe not a bad idea, depending on the price and how many years of updates it still has.

Ive used Insular, that creates a “work” profile, mainly because the apps become somewhat hidden and it allows for a different password than the main profile. So I can share my main pin for other people to use my phone while still keeping the banking apps out of reach. But some apps just wont work if they detect a custom rom or even unlocked bootloader, even in insular.

To be fair, whats the point of banging you head against the wall again? The co crete wall is a solid choice there

I made up that speed just to give an example. The thing about pausing/resuming is an advantage of torrents in general, for whoever needs it. Besides, when you download a file via DDL the speed also depends on the server thats sending, which is sometimes much slower than your download speed limit.

You download from a bunch of other people at the same time. So if you have a 300mb/s connection and 5 people have the file and are uploading at 20mb/s, it gets a chunk of the file fron each of them, so you would download at 100mb/s.

Besides, you can pause and resume the download as much as you want without corrupting the file. So if youre dowloading a 50gb folder, you can turn your pc off, and continue later. With DDLs, the download link expires and most browsers cant resume downloads properly. Plus if the browser corrupts the download you have to start over. The torrent uses checksums to detect corrupted parts of the file and redownloads just that small part, and in the end you get a clean file.

You have to show the dog loaf now… Ive never seen one

Youtube is part of a larger company that makes money in various ways and does profit a lot despite the high costs of youtube. Its existence serves a purpose to google, otherwise they would have already extinguished it or changed the way it operates. To see if its sustainable or not you need to look broadly into the system in which youtube is inserted.
