This month I got two new devices that lay at extreme ends of a certain spectrum:
1. Netgear switch (GS110TPv3)
2. PinePhone (1.2 beta)
The switch welcomes me with: "Skip Registration and Temporarily Access All Features" - limited to 3 times! Otherwise requires Andorid app install to register and cloud manage.
PinePhone allows me to try 17+ different distros out of the box - just flash an SD card.
I hope for OpenWrt support for the Netgear...

All the risk of working for an intelligence agency without any protection whatsoever.
Obviously the owner of the website can "track" its users and identify them after they tell them who they are... problem is that you tell them who you are for the purpose of getting billed and items to be shipped to you and not for them to be now able to optimise their ad spent by attributing HTTP requests to your now known identity.
So you want to know about how starships work, huh? Well you came to the right place.
