I agree that privacy is a problem - and yes it is a first world problem.

The specific privacy problem espoused by this post is not just a first world problem, it's an HN problem. I am being disingenuous - this request is pure insanity and I absolutely promise you that this "computer you fully own" will have such a very small market that it doesn't have a chance of breaking even.

Where a right for privacy really matters is not in the part of the world where your google searches are used to pick an etsy ad, but where typing the wrong thing against the wrong person could land you in jail, or at the morgue.

You fail the principle of charity test on several levels.

Agreed, I care about privacy but this is fetishizing privacy, is pathological.
