I can easily believe these types of continued enshittification will help drive more users to Linux desktop usage. But that will still be a small percent.
People have to know and care about the problem and then be willing to put in the effort to understand what to do. That combination is pretty limiting.
I’d love to be proven wrong, though.
Unlock origin has cookie banner filters. I didn’t have this problem, I assume that’s why.
I wonder how repairable and maintainable these will be as compared to EV’s from other markets and if replacement batteries will be available as the original ones reach the end of their useful life.
If these concerns end up being valid, and the tariffs are large enough that these cars aren’t priced particularly competively, that’d be enough for this EV consumer to pass it up for his next vehicle. Will be interested to see how it plays out.
Edit: Wanted to say I’m not against Chinese EV’s. If ends up making sense to get one, I will.

Re: cell phone scanning. I’ve seen these camera based book scanners popping up recently. I’ve never used one so I can’t comment on how good they are, but when I read your workflow it occured to me it was worth mentioning. Here’s a search result I arbitrarily picked listing some.

Using entirely reasonable standards that most of the rest of the world has adopted is too hard for us for some reason.
My suggestion just changes your threat model, so may not be a good one based on your wants.
Perhaps consolidate systems? Managing less devices = less points of failure. But adds the risk of any given failure being more severe.
Be proactive about your health.
I got caught up in the vinyl revival, so I enjoy collecting that media. But even then, I consider it more of a novelty.
Generally speaking though, I prefer locally stored digital media without DRM over physical media. It’s just more practical.
That being said, I’m glad that physical media exists and hope it continues to be made. Choice is good.
