No it isn't? ARM11 are ARMv6 CPUs, Raspberry Pi4 are ARMv8, two generations of difference, and that's just the instruction set. ARM11/ARMv6 says nothing about power management, it's up to the SoC. (ARMv8 does say a few t

Fun, I guess this is just a question of habit. Nowadays I use OSMAnd mostly, and when I have to use Google's Maps (OSMAnd's search isn't great, and public transportation isn't there), I'm lost, and the app never sho

The 8 sockets are opened only towards speedify "VPN" server. Once you're out of speedify network, you only have one standard TCP connection, so destination server only sees one connection as expected.

AFAIK multi-path is not too common, though most people who do multipath are using MPTCP. Last I checked, It's part of LTE standard, but used exclusively in South Korea. Some providers across the world provide multi-path gateways: in Fr

Yup. Considering my Android ROM can reach thousands of various phone models, from 30$ devices to 1000$ deviecs, and I can upgrade devices stuck on 3 years-old Android to latest Android versions, I believe I have a good basis to monetize it.

An additional note: Android is natively much more private (1) and secure (2) than GNU/Linux. This is the reason /e/ is considered okay privacy-wise, by simply removing Google and OEM apps, you make Android much more private.
