Do most motherboards receive long term support updates? I feel like I've only ever gotten a few updates for the ones I've used but maybe that was because I was buying older boards.

I feel like Google Maps is going to be the biggest hurdle. I mentioned in another comment but a minimalist launcher might help.
Beyond that you could always consider getting a case for the Nokia phone off of Ali Express or looking up feature phone operating systems. For example KiaOS is quite popular among feature phones and appears on some Nokia ones.
I looked for this and it sort of doesn't exist. I need it for a technologically challenged family member who gets hopelessly confused by smart phones. I have had the idea of writing an Android dumbify app that runs in kiosk mode (i.e. there is no way to exit it) that just disables everything except phone calls, and keeps the phone keypad permanently on the screen, like an old fashioned phone with physical buttons. It's on my infinite todo list.
A minimalist launcher is probably the easiest possible solution to that. Aster for example is available on F-Droid. The only issue I could see is it not having a lock function that would prevent them from accidentally entering some sort of edit mode.
I get the same reaction from my fellow Americans when i tell them I walk my groceries home so I'm not surprised
Good to know. I'll have to look into it further
Yeah this almost seems like one of those intentionally misleading at first glance kind of graphs. Once you put a second thought into it why would it be surprising that some of the most populated countries produce more waste?
Unfortunate. It's available as a RetroArch core isn't it? I wonder how that will effect things
I think they're aware of your stash of full Family Guy episodes on Youtube featuring random zooms.
Also doesn't the RIAA only cover the music industry?
I have a backpack that uses MOLLE webbing and a closed loop, similar to the one pictured, for the chest strap but I broke it. I've tried searching for terms like MOLLE webbing hooked loop and what not but can't seem to find just the loop. The item pictured was for a strap you can use to compress bags and they seem to be mostly available in packs. I've just been using a carabinier in the meantime.
I don't think that supports desktop games beyond source ports like Quake and Diablo though
The reason of pirating things because you would be offline has mostly disappeared. Partially because mobile data has become more affordable but also because more subscription based apps give you some way to consume content offline.
Where I see this the most is with music. Outside of those who want FLAC quality I don't know of a lot of people who pirate music anymore.
Piracy used to be about providing the best possible quality. With popularity the quality got watered down.
Do you think that has to do with popularity though or a shifting attitude towards piracy?
I feel like there's a lot of people who treat it like they would with streaming. Downloading the newest episode or season of a show and deleting it almost immediately. They don't feel the need to store it for later.
People do keep stuff might be limited by their storage. A 1TB portable HDD can be great but if you are downloading entire shows it can devour it pretty quickly.
Either way I feel like a lot of people aren't concerned about quality. They care about having immediate access to it.

I'm consider getting one for surfing the web on a secondary monitor. Nothing important is occurring but I asked this question for two reasons.
Plenty of people put some level of work into making their PC's OS more secure using YouTube tutorials and tips but they may not think to update their BIOS for example
