The only play store (google) apps i have on my phone are the play store itself, a banking app, an investment app, and FL Mobile. All nicely sandboxed in their own user profile on grapheneOS.
My main profile has 99 FOSS or not installed via play store apps.
Fuck google. Fuck the surveillance state. Fuck these politicians in glass houses.
Unless you're using 5g NR SA which is the actual 5g - New Radio Stand Alone, which is supposed to be able to function, as the name implies, alone, without any fallback to insecure networks.
If you're using 5g NR NSA it still requires 4g to function.
I am in airplane mode 99.9% of the time, using wifi calling (sms/rcs also work over wifi), so my phone isn't susceptible to imsi catchers and such or location pinging.

If you see your bios/uefi firmware, piece of cake.
fwupdmgr update [device]
However, fwupd generally runs at boot and as a daemon and will check automatically so you don't have to do this.
But, if you don't have it running for whatever reason, use those commands.
If that doesn't work, you might have to use a usb formatted to fat32 and have freedos installed on it along with your bios.exe file and boot to the usb to flash your bios.
I did just that. Wondered if some things were possibke. Read a bunch.
Now, they are trained and respond to verbal and non verbal queues, i can take them for walks without a leash, and i can understand their verbal and non verbal mueues.
If you share the lock and the key with the public and tell them (via AGPL copyleft open source license) they may use, share, modify it (or not), etc with no penalty, and they even give you the secret knock, i can't in any way see how that's breaking a lock.
I use kde connect on my phone for my 3 10+ year old linux pcs that others would have thrown away. And to control 7 devices in total. Imagine trying to do that with a remote.
It's literally as simple as install app on phone and devices and pair.
Done.
You can get a good enough pc on amazon or walmart or a local garage sale for like 100$
You can get a minipc with no fan for a couple hundred bucks.
You control it with a wireless mouse and wireless keyboard.
Or with kde connect using your phone.
Or however you want to control it because it's linux and you can do whatever the fuck you want and use ubkock or pihole or whatever and never see another ad for the rest of your life.
