@baxaphobia @coboldragon The hardware will not be different. At the NFB Convention, they told me that the battery life would be exactly the same, and the processor would be the same too. Its possible the thermal characteristics might be different, like it might not get hot as quickly, but I'm not sure about that. Speaking of collecting notetakers, I now have the NLS eReader, BT Speak, BT Braille 40, SensePlayer, Orbit Player, Orbit Speak Plus, and Monarch, and I should be getting the BrailleSense 7 very soon, and I will be buying the Orbit Strata 20 Pro when it comes out. So I might have pretty much all the modern ones except for the Evolve and Victor Reader Stream, neither of which I'm really interested in. lol

@menelion @kaveinthran I use Mullvad through Tailscale. The Tailscale app is very accessible on all operating systems I use (Windows, MacOS, iOS, and Android have GUIs, Linux is CLI only). And you are able to get the benefits of Tailscale where all your devices are on the same private network, and use Mullvad for external internet traffic at the same time. iCloud Private Relay is also very good, and perhaps the most secure of all since it uses an architecture where no party ever even knows both your IP address and the one you are connecting to, but it is only in iOS and MacOS Safari, and no other apps or operating systems.
