Many red flags that this has been completely AI-generated slop.

Just use Linux bro.
It may be faster for this particular benchmark, yet it feels slow and sluggish for interactive use.
This feels way slower than https://bellard.org/jslinux/

> Beware, messing out with your clocks via sysfs without knowing what you are doing may permanently damage your device at the hardware level, so if you're clueless, don't mess around.

Anyway, very nice and informative article, thanks !

And on the same day, what a coincidence, a Syrian illegal "migrant" stabs 8 children in a park...
I guess one answer could be to add a physical switch to disconnect microphone, or use a removable microphone.
I run 6.3 and the incriminated files were not compiled in my kernel thanks to CONFIG_NF_TABLES=n during make config.

If I understand correctly, your device will have to contact its manufacturer everytime you visit a site requiring the token ?
