Well, most laptops have removable WiFi cards, but if you want to go the extra mile you could try an early-2000s or late-90s ThinkPad (from back when they were made by IBM).
I tried to use it, but I couldn't get it working (I couldn't receive any messages, and neither could my brother). In the end, I opted for Matrix instead.
Moral of the story: don't read the Daily Heil. On top of mining your data like there's no tomorrow, it's a racist, homophobic, transphobic, fascist, pseudoscientific crock of absolute shit.
Eh, kinda. It's not quite as easy to escape from GApps as it is to install Linux, though, so it's understandable.
My advice is to look into LineageOS, DivestOS, and GrapheneOS and see if your device is supported by anyone. If not, it's possible to remove GApps using ADB, and you can use NextDNS to block tracking.
Moral of the story? Don't read the Express. To quote Dave Gorman, it's a crock of shit.
