I have no idea how to make beer...
I could see things as simple as...
Last I heard, the McDonalds' app doesn't work, of all things.

Can we work on expanding existing fiber so most places get at least a single gig fiber first?
From what I understand, NewPipe has been abandoned...
That's completely incorrect. From NewPipe's Github:
We are planning to rewrite large chunks of the codebase, to bring about a new, modern and stable NewPipe. Please do not open pull requests for new features now, only bugfix PRs will be accepted.
...and someone else forked it to Tubular which includes SponsorBlock.
polymorphicshade "stopped" development on their fork of NewPipe, which included SponsorBlock (because NewPipe did not want to include it) and started working on their rewrite of their own fork and/or NewPipe, which is now Tubular.
- Mainstream cloud storage providers like Google Drive and iCloud have access to users' files, posing privacy and security risks.
- Nextcloud is the preferred secure cloud storage option, but has drawbacks like the need for technical expertise to self-host and issues with end-to-end encryption.
- Filen is a user-friendly secure cloud storage option, but has some concerns around encryption implementation.
- Mega offers a large free storage plan, but has had past security issues and controversies.
- Proton's secure cloud storage is part of their broader privacy-focused ecosystem, but has some app and feature inconsistencies.
- Cryptomator is a useful tool to add an extra layer of encryption to any cloud storage service.
- Apple's Advanced Data Protection is a proprietary solution that lacks transparency compared to open-source alternatives.
- It's important to weigh the risks versus benefits when choosing a cloud storage provider based on the sensitivity of the data.
- Switching to a more secure and privacy-focused cloud storage option is worthwhile, even for non-sensitive data.
- The article encourages users to take steps to improve their cloud storage privacy and security, rather than relying on mainstream providers by default.

Specifically, the plug-ins are using our services in an unauthorized manner, which is causing significant economic harm to our Company.
How does this cause them "significant economic harm?" My immediate thought is they are losing out on data or ads, hence it being a privacy concern.
GrapheneOS didn't choose Pixels. They chose a set of requirements for current/future devices, which are standards met or exceeded by current Pixel devices. You want GrapheneOS on other phones? Those other phones have to meet the requirements. None currently do.
"There are no seeding rules...if you fall below a 0.5 ratio, your downloads will be disabled."
That there sounds like a seeding rule.
Pixel 8 Pro. Google's current flagship device, arguably the most secure device on the market, and is first to include Memory Tagging Extension (MTE). As such, it is supported by GrapheneOS, which I highly recommend due to the increased security and control over your own phone (starting with sandboxing the Play Store if you use it, and not giving Google full system privileges like stock/OEM OS does).
When fully integrated into the compiler and each heap allocator, MTE enforces a form of memory safety. It detects memory corruption as it happens. 4 bit tags limit it to probabilistic detection for the general case, but deterministic guarantees are possible via reserving tags.
In hardened_malloc, we deterministically prevent sequential overflows by excluding adjacent tags. We exclude a tag reserved for free tag and the previous tag used for the previous allocation in the slot to help with use-after-free detection alongside FIFO and random quarantines.
terms like FUD that originated with Crypto
Just because you first saw it in regards to crypto doesn't mean that's where it originated from.
When did that happened?
Looks like 4 months ago. https://endoflife.date/android
Isn't it currently the most used Android version?
According to this source, as of Jan 23, no. 10 is at 18.01%, which is beat by both 11 (23.15%) and 12 (25.29%). This is why you buy a phone with good support, and update your OS. They can't support everything forever. Progress happens, security changes, and they can't always backport the fixes, which also takes their talent away from evolving the OS. https://www.statista.com/statistics/921152/mobile-android-version-share-worldwide/
Personally, I get Pixels and install GrapheneOS. They get 5 years of support.
CalyxOS is not a hardened OS, and GrapheneOS requires more than than just relocking the bootloader.
