  1. If I make a local account to replace my Microsoft account on my laptop, will I need to re-do all my settings again? Will it sign me out of the Xbox app, OneDrive and other Microsoft services or any other applications? How much safer is local compared to it?
  2. How can I remove my google account from my Android phone? I can’t unlock the bootloader on ASUS phones because they disabled that ability. If I can remove my account, will that disable certain apps or require a factory reset?
  3. How feasible is it to make calls/texts on a SIM-less phone? I’d like to switch from AT&T to the Calyx hotspot primarily due to the recent data breach. What are your experiences doing this? What should I do with my SIM afterwards - crush it?
