I'm kind of the exact opposite: I don't want a doctor between me and my medical AI. Because he limits my agency to heal myself and his value add should be optional, when I need him, after I explored self-treatment options and real

Yes, it's as easy as that. Or check out Jonathan Blow on precedence. The infamous dragon book convinced people to use the wrong tools and have the wrong mindset. It was a work of incompetence. There were no dragons, but the book itself

In Kenya you can get a Safaricom Smart Neon 4G phone for $22. It's actually not bad at all. It is an operator sponsored phone, but there is no monthly plan. Safaricom sustains its digital payment system (mpesa) with it.

I'd consider using it as Windows replacement. Exclusively Windows, as I don't care for the Linux applications, or anything Linux, at all. I don't enjoy being an admin, and the system is more stable without package management.
