Seems like an interesting project, I think I will keep an eye out for a secondhand machine and give this a go. There are a couple of videos comparing the features like pressure profiling and temperature control to a much more expensive machine. Impressive.

With the shopping cart example, I'm not sure I understand how session identity can be preserved if I clear my local storage/cookies?

This is fantastic -

In the UK there has been a rise in 'cookery boxes' companies who send boxes of ingredients which you can use to cook a few different recipes.

However there is not many options in the market for a service where you can simply subscribe to the recipes (and generated shopping list) and then cook yourself. This could be based from an index of already available recipes online. Minimising the necessary ingredients (and therefore potential waste, and shop complexity), whilst maximising recipe variety is hard to do without a lot of planning. Combining this with the ability to favour and remove certain ingredients for example for preference, or intolerance would be really something indeed!

Do any consumer phones already have support for Galileo?

I ditched Signal in favour of WhatsApp given I believe the tech behind it was the same and the fact that a lot of my contacts are already on WhatsApp. The NYT article indicates that WhatsApp is still able to collect more information than Signal does collect.

This is an interesting point - If Apple decided that the requirements set out by the UK Government were at odds with its ethos and chose not to comply -

Would this result in a sales/import ban?

How would this effect devices already in circulation?

This would certainly educate the populous that the conversations happening in parliament and the media do/are having a direct impact into their daily lives - especially if it means someone is considering banning their favorite phone.
