Old Technology = Better Defence - use mostly older technology as prevention of new tactics and problems... 

The best defence is to use mostly older technology.

Privacy = Using Old

Can be a trade-off but consider New = and they didn't AND COULDN'T embed as much evil hardware and code - so literally they are limited by you protecting yourself when using limited retro hardware (old mobile phones I mean + including old smart phones).

I admit there are exceptions like operating system that have caught up - using Linux Mint - but even old WinXP install would be ok/better for mostly offline use (the trade off is maybe in WinXP's favour for how easy it is to use / manage system than Liinux for newbie). Could be wrong for this but again phones easier example...

Thinking of Android phone MOSTLY here... so less Android version = less problems + less extra overkill hardware (CRAZY 3 camera on phones, triggers for when you move etc).... NOT NEEDED

Happy to hear thoughts, never perfect but seems old is better limited and less mistakes by user that doesn't choose to undo all the settings or find the secrets to dumbing phone down...

📱 Smart phone but basic one...
+ maximising user to use text more intelligently
+ basic imaging even though you can still use old Android for almost everything I've tried!!

APK stores STILL EXIST for old and I saved those I want for next phone!!...

Also old for

New =

Fire up your Amiga! FTW!

Ok not quite but IRC for example will do fine (used by DJ people and gamers for instant 1 room for shouts and comments -
nothing else does that so fast and freely)! So yes IRC ... for those that have fans I mean else XMPP / emails probably !

I use and see many still do.

Old tech is harder to hack on a immediate circumstantial basis, but is also harder to actively access portably.
New tech is the inverse of that, two sides of the same coin, which people usually dismiss the latter for the reason of ease of use being the best choice.
