not j4k3 but my understanding is that the default keys are expiring soon and need to be rotated, and the rotation is up to your Mobo OEM to push out (?). I am not entirely sure that is correct, but I think it is.
Pros and cons of your own key: Pros: its your key, so youre responsible for your security
Cons: its your key, so youre responsible for your security
No idea but here's some tools you should look into
and this one isnt a tool but more of a tip. When installing Win11, set the region to English (world). This will prevent bloat from being installed by default, then use the OOBE\bypassnro command at the M$ account screen to skip signing up for a M$ account.
the sponge who could fly
IronFox on mobile, LibreWolf (or Mullvad Browser) on desktop.
Google will care if you and your family all start using a custom ROM with MicroG or Graphene and delete your google accounts. If you go for Graphene, buy your Pixel used. Also switching to a Firefox based browser w. StartPage/SearxNG/Mullvad Leta. Ive been starving them of 6 peoples advertising revenue for years, and I'm not the only person doing it.
This also gives you the added benefit of more privacy in your day to day life. One less large corporation tracking your every move.
+1 for LibreWolf. been using it for 3 years.
this is why 404media is the goat
Thr cheapest one I can find is $600, for a phone that is 4 years old. I would prefer not to do that.
Next delete your amazon account.
Google and Fairphone don't. I can't imagine Shift does either being a German company.
