In Portland, Ore., Brittany Trahan started buying DVDs rather than paying for Netflix and Apple TV, while Lisa Shannon has been relying on public transit instead of taking an Uber. And in McDonough, Ga., Brian Seymour II has been embracing the cold to shop locally instead of buying through Amazon.

My semi-long-term goal is pocket Linux and just a cellular AP. There’s just nothing Linux-wise that’s not ancient and expensive AF.
