I don't know anything about cellphones. I just ordered a Pixel 7 off Swappa so I'll get it next week. At the last minute I decided not to get an iPhone because I wanted the simplest, smoothest emulation possible. I'm also getting a new Windows 11 PC.

Long story short - I hate cellphones.

  • What are good emulators?

  • What are bad emulators I should avoid? They have spyware, bloatware, etc.

  • What are good resources to learn about emulators? I'm starting from zero.

  • What questions am I forgetting to ask? It's hard to know which end is up because I don't have any of the hardware now.

Once I have my phone and new PC - my first goal is to order food off Instacart via my PC. I've never used Instacart directly before. Instead I've used Smith's "powered by Instacart" via my PC with no cellphone stuff at all. In fact - my phone listed with them was disconnected many years ago and I've left "updates" unchecked. Smith's never nagged me to update my phone number so I never updated it.
