Totally agree, and will use a real computer once I find pants with wide enough pocket for it :)

  My everyday solution is pretty simple. I don't carry a computing device with me. If I do carry a cell phone it's turned off. If I'm in my car I use an old thinkpad laptop and my own 900 MHz wireless network using ubiquiti transceivers and a 30ft pole on my house at home with a custom antenna sticking up out of my vehicle's sunroof. The car's kit re-serves this IP link to my home network over wifi to any devices in the vicinity of my car. ie, I park it in front of my friend's house.

    Hmm, have you thought about Intel Firmware Support Package (FSP) and Intel ME, that is like baseband on mobiles, and can too read/write to your entire OS installed on your Thinkpad? https://libreboot.org/faq.html#intel https://libreboot.org/faq.html#intel Point is, there is no pure platforms today, except probably some Marvell ARM boards with full open source firmware.

      I have, quite a bit. Luckily a lot of the intel chipsets can be mitigated with me_cleaner. Additionally, they don't have raw network access since they have to go through my network (and firewalls, transparent and edge) before getting access to anything that's not mine. The problem with modem baseband cpu and their insecurity is they are the connection and you literally can't watch or mitigate them.

  Here you go: https://pyra-handheld.com/boards/pages/pyra/ https://pyra-handheld.com/boards/pages/pyra/ Real computer with 4G voice and data, open source, isolated baseband, runs Debian, qwerty keyboard, size of an original Gameboy. Only catch is some drivers require blobs. And it's not out yet. Any month now...
