Thanks for the quick response!๐Ÿฉท Phew... I thought I had been... "Mitigated" or whatever. ๐Ÿคฃ Not that I have misbehaved or whatever, but you never know. ๐Ÿ˜… I wish I could send them my 18TB IronWolf Pro but I need it for my own backups, so. ๐Ÿ˜ถ

    Actually, I'm not really sure why I have my VPN on at all times. I guess I just want all my online traffic to be encrypted, including when I come accross some host that doesn't support https. It's not so much a technical reason at this point. Perhaps a philosophical one? As in, I want my daily conversations to be overheard only by those whom I interact with.

    Sweet! About ten years ago, I did want to mod my 3DS with an HDMI connector. Perhaps that being possible was just an urban legend? It would've been so cool to play Smash Bros 3DS on a big screen, back then.

    Were there any performance benefits that came with modding Nintendo consoles or was it "just" region unlocking?

    I didn't mention it in the OP, but I am not logged in to either a Google or a Samsung account. The only apps I use the Play Store for is USB Audio Player and an electronic ID app that a lot of government related everyday chores require... If and when my threat model requires me to silo it off, I'll get Pixel and bump up my privacy. ๐Ÿ˜Š

    I know this isn't a degoogle community, but just for reference, these are my apps, which I manage with Obtainium:
