ha ha ha. you know, for someone who has been seeing internet shutdowns since 2010 if i remember correctly, it has changed my outlook on internet.

I don't use "connected" features any more than email and like. IOT is out of question unless it can be fully operated by home assistant. I don't use "cloud backups" and instead rely on local hardware. I don't use google docs/ office online for the same reason.

Software that is used in my work, it MUST be able to be run fully offline as a primary requirement because of "uncertainty".
