Data hoard enough shit to get you through however many decades you have left and get off grid.
That's literally the only solution that's going to be left.
Not sure that is going to be a solution either. Have you seen HDD prices lately?
In the end, corporate buyers are cornering the market for self-use technology. Once the consumer market is gone, and habits change, there may be no going back since a new subscription market will be built and self-perpetuating. So I hope the AI bubble pops before that happens.
Have you seen the capacity of a phone with cracked screen, lately? Slap Syncthing on it, if you can't be bothered with PostmarketOS, for a cheap, low-power, solar compatible backup solution or a Kiwix server or something. I ran an email server on one for years. People toss out amazing things these times.

Can I just have a dumbphone and an offline computer that can run eu4? Id be pretty set. If I could get podcasts somehow though, I'd miss my podcasts, but I could live without.
