The Sophisticated Man's life and technological setup
What is the ideal gear for a Sophisticated Man?
What is the ideal technological setup for a Sophisticated Man?
What does the Sophisticated Man eat?
What are his hobbies and interests?
We must discuss and form Cyberix's role model that we may live by.
My ideas:
All mobile technology have greyscale color correction to make reality more appealing than the mobile device
No social media or gimmicks. Your "phone" is a tool, not a toy. Being a phone is it's primary function. Connecting to IRC/XMPP/Mumble is appreciated, but ultimately secondary. Be grateful that you have the ability to see the weather forecast from such a small device.
Sonim XP8 or XP5 smart/dumbphone hybrid
^ Alternatives? Aim for similar phones made before 2019-2020. Replaceable battery and rugged frame recommended for longevity. SD card and all of those other goodies
Computer:
Legacy software just works. You don't NEED to upgrade.
Try not to use software or hardware that isn't built to last. You should be able to self host or bypass any Internet reliant components of the software easily and without extra cost. It's okay to compile a 17 year old version of a program in order to achieve perfect native performance. It worked for people back when it was the latest version and it'll work for you now.
Consider deliberately older hardware that is most commonly documented and discussed on the Internet for better troubleshooting
Consider small square monitors. Wide screens aren't cognitively healthy. Something like the Dell 1908FW for example is small and square. Avoid Internet connected monitors or smart TVs for your screen. Also more desk space for other gear.
The Sophisticated Man could forego computers and phones entirely, but then we would probably not know of Cy-X overall. The Sophisticated Man limits the majority of his time online to interacting with Cyberix and using it's services, for the community serves to be a obscure tightknit club where other sophisticated men are present.
Also music. Modern music is a mess and is psychological warfare through frequencies and idea plants. The Sophisticated Man limits when he listens to music, how long he listens to music, and the genres of music that he listens to.
Consider Classical and its sister genres.
Consider avoiding negative music like the plague. Negative music WILL have negative effects on your psyche and how you perceive reality and thoughts. You must abandon it or risk attracting negative experiences.
No porn or masturbation. It's not that special and only drains your energy. It is also psychological warfare funded by shady interests. Consider installing the Wingman Jr Firefox extension if you have a Computer or Android device in order to avoid porn sucker punches.
I have not listened to any music in two weeks. I no longer suffer from mental overstimulation and "ear worms". I am less tense. Not a lot of Americans can say that they've went at least three days without hearing music. I do not masturbate. I act without ego.
Other gear could be:
Wallet (RFID resistant, rugged?)
Dedicated camera, doesn't need to output super high quality imagery. Rugged forms are best.
Portable pocket size hard disk drive to transport Computer system around if necessary. Encrypted with LUKS2. MBR BIOS partition table for compatibility.
Vehicle - We need to Avoid "smart" vehicles. No satellite / cell tower bullshit. Also avoid remote control. Something that's boxy and can fit lots of things inside without problem? Thinking something around 90s-2008. Low maintenance. Haven't figured out yet
Consider searching for rugged forms of everything. They are always better than generic civilian equipment
Thats a start..

any particular reason why? I have always found them useful because of the additional screen space to sort things, especially whilst reading and writing several documents.

Is this the new fastman?
The Sophisticated Man jerks off up to 8 times a day to the finest pornographic material
He uses the latest and greatest iPhone and Macbook for his computing needs and replaces them every year
He has multiple 8K monitors for his setup
He listens to music 24/7 with his Airpods, if they run out of battery he uses another pair
He doesn't need a wallet, after all he can just use his iPhone to pay for shit
He looks at social media up to 10 hours a day
He also drives a Tesla
Now that's Sophisticated.
