what happens when Little Timmy spends $9000 for Nlartbux in a mobile game’s external store?

That's why you don't put your credit card info in a phone or tablet and let kids play with it.

Big tech is our enemy. It doesn't matter if it's facebook or tiktok.

The Steam Deck is the only decent console because it's not locked down.

That lets a USB C port function as a DisplayPort output so you can connect the phone to a monitor without using some laggy wireless streaming crap.

I would love to have a phone that I could just plug into a USB C dock and use as a normal computer. They've got plenty of processing power for that now. Every single program I use except for games could run on a phone if it used normal GNU/Linux.

Yes, they still make USB floppy drives.

I'm sure someone will release an addon or some custom CSS to fix it.

It's not uncommon for a single web page to use 5-10MB. Shopping and social media sites are the some of the worst since they have lots of javascript libraries and pictures. It's not hard to use a couple GB in a day without streaming anything.

Modern websites are excessively bloated. That data goes fast.
