Not sure, if it is a GPU problem only then it will just be FPS drops. But for my case, the game freezes at specific intervals and doesn't do any thing even if I tap anywhere on the screen. It may sometimes be even playing (the graphics) but I can't change items, probably because the CPU cannot handle something somewhere.

    This is fine, finally Avengers was shown in Flat in non-IMAX cinemas in my area because even if the cinema is capable, IMAX got the 1.9 ratio exclusively. IMAX needs competition.

    I understand now and our age gap is probably the reason we have different preferences. And I think it's fine. I understand your perspective and admire your principles. Living in this generation just sucks right now that it is almost required to have accounts on big tech unless you are really set for life. I understand the risks to it and I adjust so that I don't put too much reliance, so for now there is no need to worry about that.

    I really don't know how to move forward with this. The time delay is useful so a clueless user will have enough time to think about something that they would do before actually doing it. Let's say they won't easily install a sketchy app while drunk, etc. Remember that hackers rarely hack, they just socially engineer. For power users, you just need to wait for the 24 hour time frame. If it is a problem, you can set it up now so you no longer have to think about it. Now, if you are scared about Google removing the option, I think you have enough time to prepare yourself so it wouldn't have much of an impact when the time comes as it will not be that soon. It can also be delayed further by increasing pressure from the users just like how I said earlier that people can be loud about it or the minority can spread awareness so the minority becomes a majority. Because other than this, I really don't know what else we can do that is feasible for a regular individual.

    Yes, we can have "alternatives" but do take note there are pros and cons to those alternatives one of which Google and Apple can bring 0-day fixes much faster than the alternatives (in this case, you have to choose between superuser control and security). For an average person, do you think self-custody is worth their time with increasing chances of finding 0-day bugs because of how good AIs have become? I have taken notes of the recent bitcoin hacking and it seems I would rather buy a bitcoin ETF because the self-custody hardware wallets were actually easy to hack. And, if we will talk about this further, I am curious, what superuser functionality is currently hindered right now with the developer verification thing that you really need to use?

    I don't understand how leaving becomes an analogy wherein the goal of being a superuser is not to leave the platform but to customize the platform. So you don't want developer verification because you want people to be able to.. leave?

    Leaving the house is a long shot for a comparison. The average person can close any app they want. Maybe a better comparison is not being allowed to install your air conditioner on your own and being required by your Home Association to install it through their prescribed partner. Not everyone wants to install their air conditioner on their own. In phone speak, most people only care now if they can youtube, FB, instagram, or tiktok.

    We'll see upon release on how the Linux environment works on Android Aluminium OS whether it will finally be good enough for the stuff you mentioned. Part of the reason I read before was that Qualcomm was not enabling a necessary feature on their Snapdragon chips necessary to achieve a secure Linux terminal within Android. Although I am not very knowledgeable about these stuff.
