this is true, anything requiring constant updates and calling home will probably have an issue eventually

I got several "Nook Simple Touch" a few years ago and they've been able to read whatever I've thrown at them so far.

They're running on android 2.1!

I had to do some digging to find older versions of book apps that'd run on them, but this is the internet, the apks are out there.

Another option is if you have coax installed for tv/cable, and aren't using it, even just in the rooms you want to connect wires through, MoCA might work.

I agree that everyone should stop using windows 10 this year.

Nobara for gamers, Mint for everyone else. Done and done.

Sorry for the confusion, but STL files are usually manifold 3d renders, for printing. No subtitles here unfortunately. I'm not even aware of a paid service/site for subtitles, is that a thing?

Only one I know is materialize.is

I'm still trying to find a way to get an invite...

For Android: learn the hard reset combo for your phone, especially if you encrypt it.

After rebooting, pattern/PIN will be required to decrypt the phone. Biometrics won't work for this step. This is what graphene does for security, tries to keep the phone in a "before first unlock" state by rebooting on a timer. You can't even read anything over USB/ADB, it's scrambled until you unlock the phone.

The only drawback to just keeping your phone in this state is none of your apps are loaded, so no notifications/updates/processing at all.

Reposting as top level comment also: these are PWDIS drives: if you’re not using them somewhere with sata 3.2/3.3, you need to use an adapter for the power plug, or some tape, to block pins 1-3 (3.3v) as supplying it to these causes them to reset. Might be worth doing the taping anyway, if you’re using an enclosure or cage (where you can’t use the adapters) Just be aware.

2nd catch, behind the power on time: PWDIS drives: if you're not using them somewhere with sata 3.2/3.3, you need to use an adapter for the power plug, or some tape, to block pins 1-3 (3.3v) as supplying it to these causes them to reset.

The kicker to this sort of thing, is the pirated versions usually have the checks removed... and don't need internet.
