  I’m aware, and that fact only lends credence to what I said to another responder in that humans are the same everywhere you go - it’s only the specific variances that are mostly due to culture that differ. Also keep in mind that in America the Republicans have been working to take over the country since the 1970s - more recent events are just the inevitable result of the dam finally bursting. I wouldn’t be surprised to learn there were similar forces at work in India.

  It doesn’t have to be lithium, nor non-replaceable. I just meant something to hold the memory contents and processor in a suspend mode long enough to allow battery replacement. Could be a capacitor, or something else that gets the job done. That’s why I alternatively listed allowing hibernation (save memory to storage and power off) as an alternative option. The goal was to be able to resume where you left off after swapping batteries.

  Meh. I’d say it’s more variance in method than an actual disparity in quality. Humans are basically the same everywhere you go: some small percentage are truly great, a similar (but seemingly larger) percentage are the truly evil, and the rest are varying degrees in between. The differences are mostly cultural in nature.

  America showed them how.

  Likely expensive AF once you get all the needed accessories. I wonder if they have a minimal onboard battery, or allow hibernating so you can swap batteries and keep going.

  Last I read, it was still available on Edge if you must use a Chromium browser. I’m using Firefox, so I can’t/won’t bother confirming that is still the case.

  There’s so much out there because there’s no one (or even just a few) right way(s) to proceed. Everyone is unique, and so there’s are just as many paths to enlightenment. Just take a stab at whichever intro looks good to you, and if it doesn’t work for you then move on to another - they’ll all contribute to your knowledge even if they don’t fully work for you.

  Yet still cheaper to remove.

  Yes (with some help from hardware expansions).

  Did a quick check, and there are already a handful of (non-official) apps on F-Droid supporting PeerTube. Not much of a video watcher myself, so I’ve no comment on their quality, but the Android options are already there.
