I think people assume most attackers are targeting a specific person when in reality they cast a large net and take as much as they can find.

Thats why iOS exploits are so valuable because iphones run on such a narrow band that an exploit is likely to work on all iphone users, regardless of model.
I still think building a pc using used last gen parts is probably still the best bang for your buck if your starting fresh but its also a huge hassle compared to just buying a steam deck
Heres my take...
PC are being priced out for people who just want to game. GPU prices have skyrocketed since the pandemic and the quality of prebuilts, in terms of value and build quality, has plummeted.
This makes consoles a much more reliable and better value for the money option. Also handheld gaming has grown exponentially with the steam deck and switch being so good. Which in turn creates more demand for console piracy.
There's hardly any reason to pirate something on PC other than to avoid paying for it.
This is literally the most common reason for any type of piracy.
This is what prompted me to switch to drive+ on proton, had been using google drive with cryptomator.
As others have said, using the cloud should never be your only backup solution.
Just remember there is a balance between security and privacy that these types of communities forget and typically greatly increase the attack surface of their devices for minimal privacy gains.
This is why, in general, giving special access to your phone with privileged apps (Google Play, Micro G) or severely reducing the security of the phone by rooting it is almost always something you should avoid.
I stream them.
Have to say though, live sports streaming feels like its gotten a lot worse over the years so if anyone has an IPTV suggestion for live sports send me a dm.
Turn your vpn off, if transmission keeps downloading it's not setup properly.
