Yeah, i just run a very heavily modified android now. Hard to find good phones (with features that i want and need) with enough software support. Couldn’t get lineage os working on my zenfone, it was a horribly buggy experience and I couldn’t get mobile networks working. I needed more reliability and stability, so i manually debloated and stripped almost all telemetry. Rooted this thing and blocked anything that isn’t whitelisted.

Not OP, but when i was running custom ROMs on my main device I carried 2 devices, i had my main phone in my pocket and my secondary in my purse. The secondary ran “Android” so i could use tap pay and the like.

I’ll do ya one better, the Simon Tatham’s puzzle collection. http://chris.boyle.name/projects/android-puzzles/

I do quite appreciate the updates stardew had gotten to improve longevity (esp for modding)

Similar to how certain mods like RSV and the like behave?

Gameboy -> GBC
GBA -> GBA SP

I prefer to read manga and comics on a tablet screen, easy to make text bigger for someone with dyslexia, more portable than a laptop, not to mention cheaper. Smart watch makes it so u don’t have to pull out my phone when i get a notification at work or when my hands are full, and i can glance to see if it’s important. Also helps me reduce my screen time, and lengthens my phone’s battery life. As far as tracking, i have almost all tracking disabled except what is necessary for operation of the “local”(i have precise gps disabled) weather. All health features and telemetry disabled/routed to 0.0.0.0. i understand not everyone has uses for these kinda of devices, but that doesn’t mean no one does. My watch lasts 2+ months on a charge, my phone 1-3 days, tablet, lives connected to a wall unless i wanna read on the go. I don’t worry about battery life.

I believe once win 10 hits eol we’ll see more users jump ship, myself included.

Hopefully the minecart challenge isn’t as impossible to beat as it used to be.
