I’ve always stuck to Thinkpads for Linux – especially the T series is incredibly solid. That said, you really shouldn’t have an issue with a 2015 MacBook.
At this point, I’d like to see better regulation about usage of user data for training before this gets approached by the FOSS community. Ideally we should see a regulatory bloodbath where AI training data is concerned (using other people’s data or creation without explicit consent, and ultimately regurgitating that data, as LLMs do).
*I don’t think we’ll ever see sufficient regulation at all – but we should. Use of data in the way needed and quantities needed clearly call for it, in my view
You can’t have an app do this without rooting your phone IIRC. Even if an app like that exists, you can just go to the bootloader and factory reset from there. Some phones allow you to factory reset from the settings too.
Restarting to bootloader takes too long. I need something that you can activate in like 5-10 seconds. And an app that resets your phone is possible, because of the ability to grant an app administrative permissions without rooting. Before Android Device Manager, there used to apps that allow you to remote wipe a device. Granting such permissions to an app is (as far as I know) possible, I’m just trying to find if anyone has built it so that it activates on a set of button clicks rather than remotely.
