This is post-Apple. Apple died roughly around 2008-2011 when they figured out how to capitalize on douche snobbery. Previously they catered to the outliers. The clevil (clever evil) was when they figured out how to market that you are being an outlier if you own their crap. Which, ironically drove away the outliers.

I remember it from classic ones, had never seen it on the Switch one. Pretty hilarious.

Not sure I completely understand the thought here, apologies. Are you considering just emulating Android for some specific apps that only exist as apps? Seems a probable approach. I suppose extending that, one could even just emulate the apps on a computer at home and remote desktop into the computer from their phone to run them, although that'd be possibly obtuse.

May I ask what country has apps that require government ID to run on their phone for certain things? That seems a bit dystopian.

I don't get why banking apps are such a difficult deal-killer for people. Banks have web sites. But also, what are people doing? Running their bank app to daily transfer money back and forth from/to checking and savings?

Have you ever tried running Android apps on Graphene? Most run just fine without Play Services, many even have smaller degoogled versions. Some Play-only apps may have an error dialog here or there, but very few just flat don't work at all. Graphene + Obtainium config to pull apps in from various sources and manage updating them. Maybe a few sideloads. About as zero Google as one can get on a modern smartphone.

Burying with diesel-powered digging equipment, I'm sure.

How does one piss off that many birds at once in that game?

So thaaat's the island that SeaQuest DSV traveled to 225 (maybe 218 now) years into the future to find out there were two teens on an island battling it out with video games...

They didn't really specify what radio signals. Often satellite communications may be interrupted, HF ham radio bands. Less of an effect on Earth-based radio transmissions as the atmosphere is somewhat a shield.

If news is going to call out radio disruption in their headline, they should probably specify what, how widespread, etc.

Many apps have no reason to ever have network access. Block away until you start seeing feedback in the app logs.

Apps like Android Easter Egg do not need network access. Go from there and hit what needs to be blocked.

We need to stop letting supervillains pollute the sky with garbage. As well as a moratorium against satellite quantity, and satellites that serve any purpose outside of science and some communication. (Starlink should be deorbited as well, if for no other reason than the atmospheric pollution created by the short life cycle of those satellites.)
