I agree with your attitude. Technology can give false confidence.

Self-rescue, and self-sufficiency are priority, not some sense that someone will come save you if things go wrong.

With Starlink, a smartphone, and a solar charger I’d have access to enough YouTube videos to rebuild civilization. Literally.

There’s enough to go from building any type of housing to building your own steel forge. It’s amazing.

Only if the data centres, ground stations, power supplies, internet exchanges etc have also survived the end of civilization.

I meant rebuild civilization for myself, say lost in Alaska or something. Though maybe there's a market for tablets with all the youtube survivalist, building, and technology re-creation out there. ;)
