This image has valid advice but the reality is that people over here overestimate their threat level by a lot. Maybe this is not something so bad because it's better to have more security than less security, but this also adds more layers of complexity that the user needs to consider.
If you want to run a node 24/7 I recommend buying a Raspberry Pi4 with an external hard drive (2 TB should be enough for a few years) and running your node there. Then you can point all of your wallets - PC & mobile - to your own node.
Overall security advice: people should encrypt their hard drives (BitLocker on Windows, LUKS on Linux) and use a Password Manager to store and generate complex, random passwords. Different from post-apocalypse doomers I also think it's ok if you backup your seed in your Password Manager even if it syncs with the cloud. I do believe Bitwarden and LastPass are good enough for 99.9999% of users and will save the lives of a lot of people on the long run, as people usually really suck at remembering and creating passwords.
