I need to think about converting back to a non smart phone. Once you have experienced smartphones it is hard to go back though especially because most phone manufactures only do smart phones today. What phone would you recommend that has a good camera and does not rely on Google, Apple or Microsoft?
I haven't found one yet with a decent camera. I use the
Punkt as it offers me connectivity via WiFi or BT to my other devices like notebook but it has no cam. So far I use small dedicated cam with USB only (no WiFi) like the Sony DSC-W810B or the Canon Ixus 185.
Unfortunately convenience and OpSec are always indirectly proportional.

Not a problem if you drive a 1992 Volvo 940.
My words, but at some time these vintage cars (including my 2001 Opel Caravan) will be EOL and I fear the day I have to buy one of these rolling fondleslabs.
Wrt to 'intelligent', self-driving cars, today a autonomous BMW iX caused an accident with 1 dead, 9 heavily injured in Germany. Though it is not clear yet if the vehicle was driving autonomous or was controlled by a human.
