Unless there is a major disruption, in 50 years we will have hit hard the limits of earth natural resources (in terms of metals/minerals/oil) and the consequences of climate change so it's very difficult to predict how the wo

Is it a Google issue or a Qualcomm issue ? (e.g. does it occur when using Calyxos/GrapheneOS/LineageOS instead of the raw Google Android OS ?)

I doubt my Oneplus 5T has UEFI (and I can see for sure that LineageOS still releases device-specific firmwares rather than generic ones...)

Thanks for this ! Just to better understand some of your technical choices : are you using microG ? Do your phones pass SafetyNet ? (there are many apps that do not work out-of-the-box with custom roms, e.g. bank/payment applications,

Good initiative. But (for a topic I know) I can see it's highly incomplete with regards to the telecom sites. In France, we have this site https://www.cartoradio.fr/#/cartographie/stations made for that purpo

The issue has been known and adressed in France for a while (and to my knowledge, France has been pioneer in handling the topic seriously. e.g. see https://www.anfr.fr/liste-actualites/actualite/la-protection... )

Actually my point was not to emphasize on this tragedy, but rather to highlight that the "solution" (to use helium instead of hydrogen) would probably only work at low scale considering how limited helium exist on earth... If we w

If it's filled with helium, I guess it won't scale to replace the thousands of aircrafts in operation due to the finite amount of helium on earth. If it's filled with hydrogen, then people should remember the Hindenburg trage

A 10 (or even 15) years old machine is still perfectly capable, and we only have one planet so it's better to extend their lifetime when they still work.

Yes, but if it was with a toggle switch (and a default value on "off"), then the user could decide and take the risk (and/or only activate it when needed), which would alleviate the risk.

I have a Oneplus 5T (dumpling) and get much less frequent updates (which puzzles me : I though they would have an automated build system i.e. that all supported devices would have exactly the same updates at the same time...)

I wish that LineageOS could accept the "signature spoofing" patch that is needed for microg (possibly with a toggle switch that would be "off" by default), so that we could avoid the need for the less-frequently-updated
