How long should they provide software updates for? 3-years? 5-years? 10-years? What would be an acceptable cut off date for providing updates? I wouldn't expect companies to provide updates for their old hardware forever, but what would be an acceptable date that will benefit both consumers and the company itself.

What does "not commercially viable" means? Sounds vague.

I wish this don't turn out like the Ubuntu Phone Convergence dream.

I'm aware that if you buy a game on Windows and play it on Linux, it might be tagged as a Windows game purchase. Wonder if this 0.1% truly tells the whole story.

Not at all, and going with what the article talks about, Apple Maps is a viable option. Although a lot of the users out there don't have Apple products.

Not using Google Maps is difficult, but it can be done. I'm currently using OsmAnd from F-Droid and it works awesome. I would recommend it to anyone trying to live without Google services.

I've tried IF before and was very similar to caloric restriction. Many people point out the point that a diet has to be followed and when you fall thru, you will gain the weight back all over again. Imho, IF is easier to do than conventional diets.

What has Apple invented? As far as I'm aware, they have patents of re-purposing other inventions, or design patents. But cannot think of anything they "invented" that didn't already exist before.

I love the Linux app, and the integration on browser extensions and Android app, but the Android app is very limited on features. I love projects like this, and support them as a paid member, just like ProtonMail.

I'm truly hoping that this phone won't suffer the same fate as the Meizu Pro 5 Ubuntu Edition. I'm also concern about security updates where most phone makers stop providing them after a certain (& short) period.
