How to buy a cell phone for a low price and avoid carrier lock and advertisements?
Some people use a cell phone only when they are not at home and want to call or do a search. Which low-cost not-locked phones would be best for that?
People who use a cell phone extensively, for watching movies, for example, are often happy to pay more.
The cell phone industry is possibly the most complicated for buyers in the history of the world.
For example, the Samsung Galaxy model A36 cell phone has 7 versions. Other than the A36, there are many other Samsung versions.
Other complications: Cell phones often come with no case, no charger, and no screen shield. Also, the prices given in a search are often low because of being locked to a particular carrier.
The cell phone service providers would be T-Mobile and AT&T.

Amazing! Fusion Energy would change our lives in many very positive ways.
Food would be much cheaper. All cars and trucks would eventually be electric, no pollution.
> Definition
Fusion energy is the process of combining light atomic nuclei (typically deuterium and tritium) to form heavier ones, releasing massive amounts of energy, mimicking the sun's power.

"Fusion energy is arguably the most exciting human discovery since fire. From the way we heat our homes to more water in times of drought, here’s just a glimpse of how fusion power could help change the world."
"Under the fusion-powered grow lights, hydroponically grown strawberries or lettuce or other crops can be grown to maturity without the use of pesticides and other harsh chemicals."

"A pickup truck filled with fusion fuel has the equivalent energy of 2 million metric tons of coal, or 10 million barrels of oil."
> ITER ("The Way" in Latin) is one of the most ambitious energy projects in the world today.

"Some of the advantages of fusion:"
"Abundant energy: Fusing atoms together in a controlled way releases nearly four million times more energy than a chemical reaction such as the burning of coal, oil or gas..."
"No CO. No long-lived radioactive waste. No risk of meltdown."

Engadget writer Richard Lawler revealed that users were now trying to hack the Windows 10 registry to disconnect their local file searches from Microsoft servers (more below) “and I can't say I blame them after this episode. Microsoft owes users a better explanation than this and should make sure it's impossible for offline features to get taken out when the cloud is having an issue.”
“That’s Microsoft’s underlying tactics all along: sneak questionable mechanics into Windows with updates, backtrack only if someone noticed them, reported them and if that creates a big enough public outcry,” commented one user.
[A] Windows 10 registry hack appears to be the only 100% fix for this issue and it also disconnects Bing and Cortana online services from Windows 10 search.

What is the best way to isolate a network from the internet and prevent
intrusion of malware, while allowing carefully examined data transfer
from internet-facing computers?
An example of complete network isolation could be that each user would
have 2 computers with a KVM switch and a monitor and keyboard, or 2
monitors and 2 keyboards. An internet-facing computer could run a very secure version of Linux.
Any data to be transferred to that user's computer on the network would
perhaps go through several Raspberry Pi computers running Linux; the computers
could each use a different method of checking for malware.
Windows computers on the isolated network could be updated using Autopatcher, so that there would never be a direct connection with the internet.
Why not use virtualization? Virtualization does not provide enough separation; there is the possibility of vulnerabilities.
Do you have any ideas about improving the example above?
