TBH, for every day computing, I think a 10-15 year old laptop running Linux probably runs better than a current R-V board. Less efficiently probably, but in terms of responsiveness and normal measures of usefulness.

So genuinely, if you really wanted to avoid giving big tech more money there’s no real difference other than being able to say you absolutely don’t even use an x86 chip you hate big tech so much (which is based and I respect)

Personally, I think we have too much data on our own health habits.

Like it’s cool that we can record that data if needed, but smart watches, rings, and things make us track too much info for a none medical professionals. Like I, and most people I know, barely understand what our blood pressure readings mean.

Its good to be mindful of your health, but genuinely, a food journal and a poop journal would be more useful for your more immediate health and asking an LLM to process that data into trends would be easier to do and more useful for you and your doctor.
