I found the Lorex brand of products that stores footage locally. Internet connection is not required either, as it is either hardwired or paired directly with the NVR wirelessly.
I dropped my niece off at her elementary school the other day. Being newer to the process I parked the car instead of the whole drive thru setup they have in the USA. I saw all the huge SUVs and trucks and I knew I had to walk with her the mere 25 ft (7m?) because they would not see her. Sure enough, one of them was about to take off and braked hard when they realized I was there, but my niece got scared. I'm sure the driver never knew she was even there.
You could probably stretch it to 10-12 hours if you turn all the hardware kill switches to off, which activates "lockdown mode." It turns off every sensor on the device.
I daily drive a Librem 5. First thing to note is do not expect a well polished experience. Battery life is bad, only about 4 hours of light use, and 8 or so hours if left in suspend. It can do VoLTE, send SMS, use web apps and any apps coded with libadwaita or kirigami. Other desktop apps can be forced to scale on the display, but it won't be perfect.
I use Signal desktop as my main means of communication on the Librem 5. I have a spare normie phone for setup, but Waydroid is an option. I do use Waydroid for a few apps that have no web browser equivalent.
Idk, all I can say is, you have to really want it to live with it. I don't do gaming or heavy social media use or anything removed that, so it is just fine for me. But it's definitely not for everyone.
From what I read at the link below that doesn't seem to be the case. They took a baseline of the poverty threshold in 1978 and adjusted for inflation every year. However that line seems to have been set suspiciously low to begin with.
I do the same. Some websites will not work claiming Firefox is not supported, but do some user agent spoofing and suddenly it works just fine. Just goes to show it is not actually the web engine that's the problem.
As someone dailying a Linux phone, I will say that there were no issues getting it to work on T-Mobile. The only thing I did was manually enter the APN details, but that was an OS thing.
From what I have seen on forums Verizon won't let you at all, and AT&T might take a bit of work to get them to whitelist the IMEI on their network.
To answer your question about Android apps, there is an application called Waydroid that can run on Linux phones. This essentially emulates Android and you can install apps on there. Some Play Store apps require access to Google Play Services, and even though MicroG tries to emulate it without being as privacy invasive, it is not perfect and some apps won't run well or even at all.
I only use it for a few things that do not have any way to access through a web browser.
My cousin had mentioned an AI waifu from Grok a couple of times and I brushed it off as joking. He then sent a picture of his waifu, and I am starting to wonder how much of a joke it really is...
just wanted you to know I actually chuckled at that!
