I dropped my £20 Nokia 105 down a 5-storey fire-escape onto solid concrete a few months ago. Still works fine. I reckon it could do 15 fire-escape drops. It laughs at 1-metre drops.
Your idea of cheap is not Ugandan idea of cheap. The Ugandans are turning to VPNs to avoid a $0.05 per day tax because the average wage is $1 per day. A 'cheap' VPS is about $5 per month.
I have absolutely no knowledge of these affairs but collecting and re-distributing funds could easily be money laundering
It's easy to obtain that knowledge. Riseup clearly state that:
the police looked at Riseup’s donate page and found we accept donations in Europe through a non-profit organization (“Verein”) based in Germany called Zwiebelfreunde. They decided this meant that Riseup was run by this organization (it is not), and so aggressively targeted this organization.
it has implications for a variety of other tasks that deep learning has struggled with, including... problems like prime number factorization
If it could help with finding the prime factorization of large semi-prime numbers – ie two or more prime numbers that multiplied together result in a target original number - then that would be quite useful.
Monero is also untraceable, which makes it ideal for criminal activities.
It's untraceable for the same reason it's fungable, like gold.
5% of a bar of gold might be originally mined using slave labour, or even comprised of tooth fillings from Polish concentration camps, but that gold bar is valued the as any other on the world market.

why Apple never got a serious foot hold in the enterprise market
But Apple did, and does, have a serious foothold in the creative industries, and deprecating OpenGL breaks display acceleration in After Effects and Premiere.
The opportunity to install a custom OS does not equate to full control over the the software and firmware running on a laptop. For example, since about 2008, ring -3 has been entirely inaccessible on Intel chipset laptops.
A few years ago I accidently dropped a Nokia 100 burner phone 5 floors down a fire escape onto a concrete basement floor (approx 15 meters). Apart from a broken latch on the plastic back (fixed with gaffa tape), the phone was in perfect condition and continued to work for years afterwards.
Because Edison only invented wax cylinders in 1885. Before that, way back in 1877, he was using tin foil cylinders and, as every Slashdot reader knows, tin foil is the answer to every problem.
Who controls the past controls the future: who controls the present controls the past
George Orwell, 1984
One of the issues raised in 1984 is the idea that history is mutable or changeable, that truth is what the Party deems it to be, and that the truths found in history are the bases of the principles of the future. Some Fascist German leaders of the time boasted that if you tell a lie loud enough and often enough, people will accept it as truth. The Stalinists perfected this modus operandi by re-writing people and events in and out of history or distorting historical facts to suit the Party's purposes.

So if I rent a random small-time cheap VPS

In Germany accepting donations through a non-profit third-party is not considered money laundering.
I'm going to advance the hypothesis that Uganda will soon see a massive boom in VPN network use.
The Ugandan government is way ahead of you and already blocking VPNs.

North Korea agreed to stop hacking Sony since the Singapore summit, so now Sony have to hack themselves.

The analogy would need to relate to its creation process. Not its usage. Like a blood-diamond.

Never has this been more relevant.
