I feel like I have to tell you about the fabulous, most groovy... Bellbottoms (by The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion).
Unfortunately it's just less than 2 minutes on the intro of one song. I wish they had done some more like it, because it's a great combination in my opinion.
I've experienced the same. Contacted them and no solution was given. I quit using it because it's useless to navigate around my city.
I had to contact them 3 times in 3 months to get a reply, and this is what they said:
we've checked and it's a quite difficult case.
There is a roadblock (data coming from our traffic data provider) which refers to a bridge in construction.
OpenStreetMap does not have this bridge. So the roadblock data is decoded as if it was referring to the nearby streets. (check attachment) We cannot disable the roadblock data individually. I'll add the bridge to the OSM data and it should hopefully fix the issue.
Fortunately, they also attached a screenshot showing the closed bridge drawn on top of what I assumed is the software they use, next to Google Maps where the bridge is mapped and marked as closed. I quickly checked OpenStreetMap and... the bridge was mapped and marked as closed. It just seems the software they use doesn't download closed ways and they just mark as closed whatever road is nearby what has been reported by their traffic data provider. I quickly replied to advice against editing the correct data on OpenStreetMap. It's been more than one year and the issue is still there. They don't seem to care.
A great song. Don't forget to check the original version from the 'Nothing Has Changed' compilation to see how the industrial influences change to orchestral and jazz frenzy:
I always thought that MC stood for music cassette (as opposed to the videocassette tapes back in the day), but I never looked it up and you make a very good point...
I have a setup which is not ideal, but I believe improves privacy while preserving convenience: I never connected my TV to the internet, and instead use a MiBox TV S 4K for all my streaming with custom DNS blocking trackers and ads.
I guess there might be other Android TV boxes that allow you to change the DNS server. It might be worth checking a bit around if you decide to go down this route.
In my case, I found this Reddit post and was able to change the DNS server on the MiBox to NextDNS, where I could later activate relevant blocklists (SmartTV, Xiaomi, Google). I also perform monitoring of the domains the MiBox connects to and have blocked a couple manually.
This way I have an AndroidTV experience with the streaming services that I want, and with the domains I don't want blocked.
I guess depending on size and colour rendition of displays it can be easier / harder, but overall I'd still say it's a poor choice.
A choice of different colours is OK, but specifically those 2 are pretty hard to distinguish. Simply changing one of them to black, which looks like no other colour used in the map, would be much better.
I don't think a gradient works for colouring a map like this: we can distinguish gradient colours when they are next to each other, but if 2 countries far away have adjacent values the colours would probably be too similar to tell the difference.
Poor choice of colours: distinguishing between the orange of 2025 and the red of 2040 is very hard, especially considering most people will read this on a small phone screen.
According to that map Mexico is 2040, not 2025. The choice of colours is terrible.
There are several degoogled OS options for the Fairphone models, with different levels of degoogling and privacy: LineageOS, CalyxOS, DivestOS, iodéOS and /e/OS.
Most of these are based on LineageOS (I understand that CalyxOS isn't, but I might be wrong). I personally use iodéOS and I like the helpful developers, the ability to remove / replace any of the apps preinstalled with the system, and the iodé blocker which blocks trackers, adds and any connection you want to at a system level.
The answer is here, you don't need to enable multilingual typing, you just need to add Heliboard as spell checker on your system Settings. Then, of course, choose the right language in Heliboard and have a dictionary for that language too
That's why it's better to download as many apps as possible from F-Droid. All apps are Free Open Source and checked for anti-features (like ads, tracking, etc.). Lots of basic (and not so basic) apps which are ad free, tracker-free and free to advertise that way.
They both do. I have never used that function, so I cannot say how good the Android Auto integration is.
I'm going to paste here the comment I wrote on another post about this same issue:
Organic Maps and OsmAnd are not adding ads during navigation. Nor "promoted pins". Nor ads when browsing the map. Nor tracking your every move.
Seriously, give them a try. And remember that, if the maps are lacking information, you are free (and encouraged) to improve them on OpenStreetMap.

Another vote for HeliBoard, I've been using it for months and it's great and under active development.
May I recommend OSS Document Scanner + Syncthing? Both apps are FOSS and it looks to me like that they might be able to replace what Microsoft Lens does for you with the advantage that you are free of Microsoft software.
