As time goes on you'll be exposed to more and more security vulnerabilities with no patches.
Nothing wrong with running an old phone but you should unlock it and put Lineage OS on or similar.
Anyone in a 14 eyes country is essentially impossible to achieve zero footprint, but assuming they're not actively looking into your network packets or searching for you on CCTV its feasible to have a relatively low footprint. I'm essentially trying to eliminate as far as practical, any data points I'm just giving away for free for no reason, especially to corporations and advertisers.
Plenty of cash only businesses in the UK that engage in this, although of course just because a business is cash only, doesn't mean they're a tax dodge.
IMO the two things are separate: it should be the tax office that does audits to catch this. It's not very hard to see a vape shop that makes £500 a month with two top model BMWs outside might be dodgy.
Then they enforce the chipmakers to put backdoors in the chips themselves
Looking forward to cargo bikes being more in demand and prices coming down. There's no way they should cost £4-5k. Decathlon make a longtail for £2.5k which is much more reasonable
I had a 2023 hire VW Caddy while mine was getting repaired and it had real buttons on the steering wheel thankfully. The climate control was all on a touchscreen though which was awful. At least they had a button next to the wheel that would set it to demist the windscreen (change the blowers, heat and fan to Max) so you could do that without crashing.
Was so glad to get mine back with actual controls.
There are some data centres in the UK that use the waste heat to heat the local swimming pool. Seems a good idea, we need compute and we need heat, why not do both at once?
Surely it's not too much of a stretch to have datacentres contributing to local district heating systems either?
Also no one ever mentions that the industries are building products for the public. They don't just release CO2 and use electricity for fun lol
No, mobile coverage is exceptionally good in the UK.

Original Zip link is dead but someone in the comments recreated it. No idea if they're any good, hopefully I'll never look at them
That's an unconventional way of sharing source. How do we know the built apk is built from that source?
