How exactly is it hashed? There aren't that many possible phone numbers, so it might be viable to just try every valid number until you find one that matches

Blaming Spotify for this is like blaming the company that made your TV for showing you ads that are part of the broadcast. Unless Spotify makes the specific podcast you're listening to, they're just playing you the content someone else made, including the ads they included in that content.

I wouldn't wait that long in the hope that Google release another Pixel tablet and that it then fixes the issues you have with the current one. IMO there's too much risk that either they don't release it, or they don't release it at the time you're expecting, or it doesn't change things you care about, or they change the price/features.

I'd say buy the best (/least worst) thing you can actually get now.

Graphene OS drops support for devices pretty soon after Google does. It's not a good idea to buy anything before Pixel 6 to run Graphene OS right now (see https://grapheneos.org/faq#supported-devices)

This will get better going forward since Google is supporting the Pixel phones for much longer (5 years for the Pixel 6/6a onward, 7 years for the newest devices).

I think you're misunderstanding which ramp I mean. Looking between the wheels of the white car, it looks like there's a ramp the goes from the parking lot up on to the sidewalk. The white car would prevent a person using a wheelchair getting onto the sidewalk.

The white car isn't parked in a disabled spot. Its parked in front of the ramp for a wheelchair, which isn't a space

Changing DNS isn't the same thing as a VPN. Your traffic isn't "tunneled" over DNS, it just changes which server your devices use to look up IP addresses. Your ISP can still see quite a lot, particularly if you're using plain DNS rather than DNS over HTTPS or DNS over TLS.

I've always got them from eBay.

The T and X series are the high-end ones. Between those it mostly depends on what size of laptop you're looking for. Its worth checking a guide for how you replace the SSD/RAM/battery - some of the newer ones have these soldered in place, which means you're stuck with whatever it originally came with.

Personally, I think the sweet spot is around 4 years old. By that point they're pretty cheap (maybe 10% of the original RRP), and going for older ones doesn't save you much more money. I recently got an X390 and it's doing everything I need from a laptop
