Meet Henry Fisher

I used to be all-in on big tech. Then I went all the way the other direction: under 30 accounts, a nearly 100% open-source stack, no phone at all. Having lived on both ends, I learned what's worth doing and what isn't. That's what I've spent over a decade doing: Techlore hosts videos, podcasts, courses, and free tools that put you back in the driver's seat of your digital life—without turning it into a second job.

You make privacy resonate with everyone. Different limits are okay—80% privacy is better than none.
