The link I posted, at the 10 minute mark explains the dangers of an unlocked bootloader. It's an interview with one of the devs of GrapheneOS who know far more than either of us.

7 years for the newer models.

With an out of date phone it will be easier to bypass it's security. Normally, cops and hackers have to use a series of exploits to bypass an Android's security. With a phone not receiving security updates this gets easier.

Installing LineageOS will not fix the security problem because Lineage requires the bootloader to be unlocked. With a locked bootloader, the phone checks to see if the OS has be altered, this is called "verified boot".

This video from TheHatedOne explains verified boot around the 10 minute mark https://invidious.nerdvpn.de/watch?v=WkQ_OCzuLNg

Kevin Conroy died in 2022. I'm not over it.

I never unlock my phone if anyone is nearby. Yes, I look around first before unlocking.

Zipper merge isn't a thing where I live. It's advised in the provincial drivers' handbook to merge early. Some folks from other provinces are trying to change things but it's too ingrained, been this way for as long as I can remember.

I watched a couple of Mike's videos. Seems like good information and he is entertaining. No music, no ads, no goofie sound effects.

Several years ago I watched an interview on tv, bud has Celiac and is annoyed at all the people going anti-gluten. At the time I was thinking this guy is an idiot. The bigger a trend gets, the more options there are.

I can live with getting that important information a half second later.

Every digital clock displays hours:minutes:seconds. Largest to smallest. I see no reason not to follow the same pattern with the date year/month/day.

This is also how my phone time stamps a photo - year/month/day/hours/minutes/seconds.

This seems very logical to me.

Absolutely.

I'm not a history buff but I bet my dad would love this channel.
