"Smart" appliances. As if I would ever allow this shit in my house.

Do you have a TV or cell phone?

An old TV, made before smart appliances were a thing, and an old flip phone, which remains powered off most of the time. I even keep my mic disconnected from my computer unless I'm actively using it, and assume it is compromised.

Kudos.

I'm getting ready to switch to a sat phone, now that they're affordable and somewhat reliable. I can use the laptop for anything else a smartphone does. Also, sat phones will still work after an EMP or something similar, at least in theory.

So long as the constellation is still functioning, yup, they are a pretty good option.

Make sure you store it in a properly shielded container if you’re planning to have it work after an EMP as it will fry otherwise.

Irrelevant. Most people aren't that smart.
