Ah, a new Invention in the Asshole-Technology Department. Satan has a very special place in hell for the Managers who decided on this and he will place an order on this exact technology just for them to enjoy it non-stop. Forever.

So if an average phone user charges his phone daily for 3 years, he’ll reach 1000 cycles or so. Doing 100-25% as the worst possible daily every time, that battery would have 90% of its original capacity. So 5 Years should be something like 1800 cycles, which should be 85% capacity on a 5 year old phone. I’d probably use those 15% up within 2 hours, and my phone can do about 1,5 days on average on a 100% charge. 5 years is IMHO good enough for a daily phone.

I think I can live with charge whenever however long. But I keep an eye on keeping it cool during charging, which I think is more important for battery life.

Best underrated combo.

I-dont-care-about-cookies is my favorite variant of this, since it also rejects the Cookies itself on top automatically where possible. Exceptions can be made if wanted.

Give ADBAppControl a try. It’s like a GUI for adb debloating and then a bit.

Would be a shame if Android disabled sideloading entirely like apple.

This. Go ahead and tell everyone that you are worried about your mother and would like to see her anytime and check on her for your own peace of mind. Post a clear, preferably large, sign up front that there’s an active camera in the room. But do not insist on it. That’ll tell you all you need to know about the staff very quickly.

For the camera, use a regular old wifi-enabled baby monitor (App-controlled for best results) and connect it to a mobile Internet router. These routers have internal logs - learn how to access them, then check them (remotely, after setting up security in them) at intervals for suspicious reboot events.
