The cylindrical lithium cells can go off like a rocket, but the pouch cells in a phone just burn and are very difficult to extinguish.
Apart from the Galaxy Note 7 which had a design flaw in the battery, it's incredibly rare for a phone battery to catch fire without physical damage though.
That's why it's a good idea to take a btrfs snapshot before updating or changing things. Snapshots are almost instant and sure save a lot of work if you break something.
Cameras don't cryptographically sign the images they take. Even if that was added, there are billions of cameras in use that don't support signing the images. Also, any sort of editing, resizing, or reencoding would make that signature invalid. Almost no one is going to post pictures to the web without any sort of editing. Embedding 10+ MB images in a web page is not practical.
Just buy a small, industrial CT scanner and scan your device. Compare the results to a device that you know hasn't been tampered with.
Firefox plus uBlock Origin is what you can do about it. I hardly ever see any ads. SponsorBlock is great if you watch youtube too.
SLC drives have around 100,000 write cycles. Most consumer SSDs are QLC now and those have less than 1,000 write cycles. They also tend to write slower than a mechanical hard drive when the write cache gets full. Some of those drives can be modified to run in pseudo SLC mode. That trades capacity for speed and write endurance.
You can get rid of the certificate errors by adding your CA to Firefox. Just make sure you keep the private key secure.
Set browser.fixup.fallback-to-https to false to stop Firefox from trying https if http doesn't work.
You don't need root access to steal all of the data that your user account has access to.
AI image upscaleing isn't something I would associate with being energy efficient or fast. I wonder how that's supposed to work?
Downloading those "Linux ISOs" via torrent will absolutely saturate any residential internet connection if it's well seeded.
