(on pixels at least) if you go into your google settings from the settings app, manage your google account, data and privacy, web and app activity, google is tracking literally EVERYTHING you do on your phone if you have this on. this was the most egregious invasions of privacy I've ever seen, baked into android and hidden away for users to disable, and it's even harder to disable if you dont have a pixel. google does not give a fuck about "privacy" on android, they could start by just tearing all that stuff out but thats how the money is made so we're left with alternatives like grapheneos.

bluetooth works out of the box in most distros ive tried, so does my nvidia gpu, you can use office in a browser or one of its foss alternatives, and ive had no issues with steam either thanks to valve giving a fuck about linux. what are you going on about?

i installed win10 in a vm yesterday, opened edge to download librewolf, and not only did i get a notification saying "this file may not be safe! be careful!" but next time i minimized edge there was a floating bing search bar in the middle of the screen. this is getting ridiculous microsoft.

i actually regret getting rid of my wii u. it had a solid library of games and i sold it to gamestop to buy overwatch and a couple other games during a steam sale. only years later did i learn that the wii u is probably the best console for playing the entire nintendo catalogue. rip.
