If you only leech and you're not a hoarder, it really doesn't require much. For most people there's not really any need to store every single piece of media they've ever consumed or hope to consume...some day...maybe. Or setup tools to automate their uncontrollable hoarding.

If you live in a high energy cost area the ROI on going SSD can be as low as 3-4 years

~$800 on two 8tb SSDs

2 x 8tb HDDs is roughly $200USD

I don't know what kind of electricity prices you're paying, but to hit a 3 year ROI on your SSDs, you're paying at least $2.2USD/kWh, assuming the full 15W (232kWh/year total) consumption of the HDDs and assuming negligible power consumption from the SSDs.

Edit: average power consumption for HDDs read/write operation is usually around what you claim them to idle at, with actual idle consumption below.

Edit2: and to be fair I did take refurb HDD price. a refurb SSD is around $300 USD for 8tb, bringing the minimum power cost per kWh down to ~$1.7USD/kWh for a 3 year ROI.

It's also the most unlikely explanation of all, that phones brought in communicated with the ones in custody to reboot them. Even if it was a security feature to reboot phones under certain conditions, which is very likely TBH graphene OS does this, the best implementation isn't going to be relying on other phones randomly passing near by, it's going to be self-managed by the phone that reboots.

IMO battery life is absolutely excellent, I brought it with me on a 2 week holiday last year, read for 30-90min almost every night and didn't need to charge it during the trip or worry about battery life.

I'm using a Boox Leaf 2 myself, it's basically just an android tablet with an eink screen. I can load pretty much any eBook format, and you can put regular android apps from play store (or any other app store) on it as well if you want. And they have a microSD card slot available from the outside to expand storage.

All the hacks and mods people do to their kobo are not needed, because it's supported by default on my Leaf 2.

I tried blocking anything Amazon in my adguard home instance...holy shit that broke a lot of sites, I had to unblock it to have functional internet.

This has some serious "idiocracy" vibes

Oh, I misunderstood and thought you were missing that feature from your android phone, as in it isn't there

Double-press the lock button and the camera opens on android phones (or at least you can configure it that way). Been that way for years.
