I am still triple checking when I see /dev/sda as a target drive in such utilities. I use NVMe, so nowadays that’s probably a flash drive for me, but it still gives me adrenaline when I notice it.

I don’t know if it should be a bad thing. Inside the tar archive the configs were already organized into their respective dirctories, this way with --preserve-permissions --overwrite I could just quickly add the desired versions of configs.
Some examples of contents:

Keeps permissions, keeps ownership, puts things where they belong (or copies from where they were), and you end up with a single file that can be stored on whatever filesystem.

Eh, the market will adapt.
I’ve been looking at components on AliExpress. Even now, there’s lots of X99-based motherboards with LGA2011-3 sockets that can take both regular DDR4 (with some limitations) and ECC DDR4.
But the descriptions are quite hard to understand, and they are apparently quite picky about which RAM will work with them.

I could get a combo of one of those motherboards with 2 Intel Xeon E5-2680 V4 CPUs (2.4GHz, 3.3GHz turbo, 28 cores, 56 threads in total) (hey, a dual CPU motherboard) for €120. And it’s got 8 RAM slots. So 32GB just with cheap 4GB sticks.

My last 3 phones are just kind of pain software wise.
Moto G5s Plus - the Android 8 update (latest official) made it a slow horrible mess with frequent crashes and high battery drain. PixelExperience 11 fixed that.
Poco X3 Pro - told not to update to MIUI 13 due to instability. Many bugs I had to learn to work around. Left and right microphones reversed in software. Extreme power saving that doesn’t even spare alarms.
Ulefone Armor 24 - UI often crashes (Quickstep) including navigation. In some cases Android version updates don’t show up. The legend has it they sometimes provide updates after you e-mail them, stored on the Google Drive. Those updates do a factory reset, because of course they do. Alarm also has a chance of being killed, but lower than with MIUI. Charging with fast charger kills USB communication until reboot.

I don’t do updates anymore. Check the experiences online, and it’s all just new bugs, often pretty serious ones. So, if it somewhat works, and it isn’t absolutely clear that the next update would certainly fix something important, just keep it as-is.

TWRP could at least give me some peace of mind. I could just back up everything.

I can imagine it being nice for a tablet. They even have programs for calls and SMS if you have a cellular modem.

Wait what? I still remembered it as a recent console…

I feel like my brain is stuck. When I think of most powerful GPU, my brain’s muscle memory replies with 1080 Ti.

I misread that as “psychological damage”. Poor potato.

Same, but also for TrackPoint. I have the touchpad disabled. I don’t need to move my hand away from keyboard, I can endlessly scroll through pages at varying speeds just by finger pressure, and even cooler, I can scroll sideways just as easily. Oh, and I can also scroll both vertically and horizontally combined, to just easily navigate in the 2D space, pretty cool.
Although I also use the touchscreen a lot. I don’t want a regular laptop anymore. Unfortunately the 360 ThinkPads seem a bit rare when trying to find a used one.

Let me check what I could get if I tried to buy it new.
ThinkPad L13. Intel Core Ultra 5 125U, 16GB LPDDR5, 512GB SSD, 1920x1200 IPS, WiFi 6E, plastic body. €1,398.76 with 3% student discount. That seems overpriced, at the very least for my use case.

Is that what was wrong here?

Am I missing something or are you conflating two different issues? Why isn’t anyone saying anything about this.

The issue was choosing a password, which not being a single word, my mom ended up forgetting. That part is security. The privacy part comes with my father arguing that setting a more complicated password is stupid because they have nothing to hide.
Plus he mentioned usage of Google Photos backup system, which in this case wouldn’t really be secured. But he says the photos also aren’t private, because it’s just photos made in public and old photos of me as a kid (which I hoped he lost with his old phone).

I was thinking of Android, and whatever some apps may be doing. They should already be pretty limited in what they can do, so it might be forced to just read the clipboard from time to time and hope you don’t notice (android now shows pop-up when something reads clipboard).

in which case you’ve lost before you even started.

And once I came across even better limitation. “Only English characters and numbers are permitted. Passwords are case-insensitive.”
OK, the last one wasn’t actually mentioned, but I just found out the case didn’t matter either.
