Are Ubiquiti devices still the best value for homelabs and small businesses these days?

You’re not entirely wrong but the Pal system itself has a good amount of depth - Pals have traits and skills, and are weaker or stronger against different other types of Pals, so you can be very clever about what skills you teach them and what fights/environments you take them into. The game can get very easy if you exploit this system properly but is quite challenging if you ignore Pal stats and just grind levels and gear.

I trust you have your own threat model and know what’s best for you, but in my opinion privacy necessitates security.

Odd choice to use GrapheneOS if you don’t care about security. More power to you, though.

FreeTube is available on Windows as well.
