i got a phone just sitting in a drawer for a year already, still works, just doing nothing.
never thought it could do anything, then i saw
@Acurast and it clicked.
no data center, no big server, just phones doing the work.
my daily phone can run lite, plug it in at night and it works while i sleep, apps still mine, nothing gets wiped.
got a spare android? that one can go core, reset it, leave it on, done.
i am starting with the phone i already have, if yours is sitting in a drawer too, start there.
