GrapheneOS still does more for security:

• Even if an attacker disassembles a Graphene phone and reads everything off the memory chip, all data will be encrypted with your unlocking passcode. Then it’s just up to how long it takes to brute force it open on a server farm. I’m not aware how exacly /e/OS is encrypted.
  On the other hand, Google Pixel phones have suspicious hardware:

Hardware-level components like Titan M can execute processes that users cannot audit or disable, raising concerns about opaque data collection.

• Graphene installs security updates against online attacks the fastest of all. /e/OS promises “typical relaxed vendor pace”.

Here’s the founder of Murena claiming he never claimed it was about security, it’s for privacy via blocking all mass surveillance.

Apart from fixing the small privacy leaks in Lineage, ∕e∕OS doesn’t seem to offer much extra in the way of security hardening.

With /e/OS, the bootloader can be relocked on Fairphone, Shiftphone, Teracube, and Google Pixel, and they are sold locked by Murena.  https://community.e.foundation/t/list-devices-where-bootloader-can-be-relocked/48424

This means a pickpocket or airport security control can’t take a copy of your system image via USB and brute force your few-digit passcode in a virtual machine without guess rate limiting. If they crack it, they can start using your user accounts and whatever information is on the phone.

With LineageOS, relocking is not so rosy:  https://wiki.lineageos.org/faq#canshould-i-relock-my-bootloader 

Few devices allow for it and even less work properly after that. Relocking can result in actual unusable devices, so be warned!

If you plan on installing LOS and want to lock your bootloader you’ll have to build your own images, that’s not supported by default.

Thanks. I installed SMPlayer for mouse control.

The solution has been, for decades, to dump the WWW and continue the Memex-Dynabook-Xanadu line of development where everything related is webbed together by default.

MPV lacks a graphical user interface so I have to keep the hotkey list open to use it. Normally I use VLC but it can’t play some files right.

About that title…

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matrix_(mathematics)

Matrix theory is the branch of mathematics that focuses on the study of matrices.

In mathematics, a matrix is a rectangular array of numbers or other mathematical objects with elements or entries arranged in rows and columns

It could overcharge and overheat the battery, leading to explosion or at least fire.

Also heavy metals:

Increased blood lead level in children has been correlated with decreases in intelligence, nonverbal reasoning, short-term memory, attention, reading and arithmetic ability, fine motor skills, emotional regulation, and social engagement. … The effect of lead on children’s cognitive abilities takes place at very low levels.

High blood lead levels in adults are also associated with decreases in cognitive performance and with psychiatric symptoms such as depression and anxiety.

We should, it’s a factor:

She came in too late for that. The people responsible hire people like her.

It would require replacing the money system with a value production estimation and reward system.

I don’t support an upper limit for income. I want wealth tax and inheritance tax to prevent excessive accumulation.

Artificial scarcity is a crime against humanity. Piracy is the first aid. The solution would be a system that pays for the value produced anywhere in society, including when a copy is used to have fun or make profit. Movie makers would get paid more if they received good ratings from consumers. News Corp would get fined for destroying value.

A hacker may have replaced the authentic video in the phone. The edit must be unnoticeable to the eyewitness who shot it.

Not the light bulbs. They improved light quality and reduced energy consumption per unit of light by increasing filament temperature, which reduced bulb life. Net win for the consumer.

You can still make an incandescent bulb last long by undervolting it orange, but it’ll be bad at illuminating, and it’ll consume almost as much electricity as when glowing yellowish white (standard).

Quora had heckloads of users before the well-working topic system was destroyed with the excuse of tag spamming (real reason: cost-cutting), which us tedium-loving “Topic Gnomes” had always corrected quickly. So it’s not impossible. Now the tagging is done badly by “AI” and my feed content went to shit, even worse than on PieFed with a leaky keyword mute list.

Missing features were a trust system for topic editors (new user = 0 trust, etc.) and answer topic tagging - only the questions were tagged, which didn’t work when the question was general, like “What should you know in 2025?” and the specific answers were all over the place.

Keywords would never have worked for the infinite questions about perpetual motion machines, because the askers never knew the correct term. Similarly, I have failed to craft a keyword block list to filter out all U.S. politics.

I’m hoping for EU-run social media that requires secure ID like a bank. I liked Quora before enshittification when it had real name policy and strict moderation.
