The number of transistors does not affect the privacy. It's how they are used. Try free software, which respects users. Works for me (by increasing the cost to spy, which is enough for the goal I stated).

>What there is is keeping a low profile and avoiding emphasis on what you don't want amplified and repeated. Working the system.

How is this helping anyone? If you have no privacy, your own emphasis doesn't matter.

OK, you changed my mind about one particular thing and I'm thankful you did: free software. It's beginning to look like the relationship between software cost and quality is inverted, cheaper is higher quality. For sure the contracts are better, more favorable. Free means no DRM. But it's not fully there yet, you still get better software usually, by paying for it in some roundabout way. The cost-quality curve is becoming flatter over time and in many cases is in some specific items negative-sloping, like Linux being the best for servers for a long time.

It happens whenever someone makes perfect work for free.
