I think a significant portion of them are taking the piss out of the true believers.

Like out of 100 of them, there are 10 that actually believe, and 90 that are just fucking with them.

Wind energy does.

It's just that we can't extract sufficient energy from it to have any meaningful impact.

One phone in my family is a ~~2017~~ 2018 flagship, and people are amazed how snappy it is (they don't know it's from 2018).

Its running a fork of Lineage, with 2 or 3gb of ram (I forget). Because it's so optimized, even with a bunch of apps (~200), it's fast and battery does pretty well.

Old phones can run fine, but they have to be managed to do so.

Edit: 2018 flagship.

But the oil is being burnt?

Is there something from the combustion process that causes issues?

Or are you saying some won't immediately combust and would go up the chimney?

Would be interesting to see research into this.

I'd also like the source on back doors with other phones.

Not that I disagree, I don't doubt they're there, but it's quite a sweeping claim.

So because they do it I should trust China?

Indeed.

The primal element of Christianity is that we're all born imperfect. (I like to say we're thrust, painfully, from perfect security in the womb into a harsh environment where we're utterly ignorant and dependent upon "others" which we can't even comprehend).

If we were born perfect, from where would the problems of the world originate?
