i dont think alot of ppl need a super small comp. it comes with disadvantages. harder or more limited upgrades.

my guess is: quadrennial lenovo usff/sff . the intel nuc is nice&easy to uprade the limited set of parts for ultra longterm use.

basically no, because all existing modern software requires either wayland and/or Xwayland(xorg)

you could always write a scraper but javascript makes this a non-trivial task

i had thought that tape was used by big enterprises
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_Tape-Open

"Public information on tape drive sales is not readily available. Unit shipment peaked at about 800,000 units in 2008, but have declined since then to about 400,000 units in 2010,[98] and to less than 250,000 by the end of 2018[99] As HDD prices have dropped, disk has become cheaper relative to tape drives and cartridges. As of 2019, at any capacity, the cost of a new LTO tape drive plus one cartridge is much greater than that of a new HDD of the same or greater storage capacity. However, most new tape cartridges still have a lower price per gigabyte than HDDs, so that at very large subsystem capacities, the total price of tape-based subsystems can be lower than HDD based subsystems, particularly when the higher operating costs of HDDs are included in any calculation.[100]"

its a sensible choice because many potential implementers hae been dissuaded by the anxiety attached to risks of giving out phone number. (harrassment, stalker, spammer, scammer) . the telephone system has paralyzed itself in fear. yet we all keep buying their shit.

if you use textfree, you can probably register on signal with a fake-as-fuck phone number. but i think textfree requires a valid phone number for that.
very sucky to have to do all that.

redreader is similar. no account needed. Tor only mode.

most commonly:

1. people working extra hard with hopes of rising the ranks
2. workers trying to capture more executive style roles as assistants to make bosses work easier
