Gold might be a key metal for the future, unless the costs prohibit it. For example Palladium-Gold catalysts (CO2 reduction) or nano particle gold plating (PV solar) or AuNPs (medical)

The phone is a general purpose computer, and you can run LineageOS on it, with a custom bootloader. Then you basically have 3 partitions boot, system, data. encrypting and uploading "data" can be done. It still requires little man

Even at the height of the cold war, the Soviet Union did not shut off gas exports. Even 2009 at the former height of the Ukraine Gas dispute, exports only got a little disrupted, mostly to Ukraine itself.

Looking through the pictures again it suggests those staple holes are smaller than pin holes and might be "filled in" with a single coat of paint.

In the end it's about the same cost (for the same quality). Also prefab houses have a lead time of about 6 month. But once the on site build has started it's fast and those elements come with electrics, water piping and (sometimes

The robotic bricklayers are in the factories. They do construct prefab elements that then get hauled to the building site to be quickly assembled. Usually it's done with wood but there are also factories that build prefab houses with
