I would probably hold off on buying a phone specifically for the purposes of installing a custom ROM on it... Custom ROM installation is generally extremely simple...
Hahaha, nice joke:

Summary for people who don't like to read for 10 minutes:
Only Google Pixels are currently affected
from Calyx's post:
- Google did not publish any device-specific source code for supported, modern Pixel devices.
- In previous years, Google released full device trees alongside new Android versions. This allowed developers to build and boot AOSP on Pixel hardware relatively easily.
- With Android 16, only the platform/framework code has been released. The device trees are missing, at least for now.
So let's don't panic and just wait a few days until more information is available...
So I just had a look at your robots.txt:

You explicitly allow searching your content by bots... That's likely one of the reasons why you get bot traffic.
A yes, a public dns resolver funded by taxpayers money and nothing of it is open source...
Sounds like a massive waste of money to me. Just give someone like Mullvad (they already have a DNS service that is open source) that money instead of trying to be another shitty DNS Resolver.
Also the company behind this looks incredibly scummy and their products are mostly buzzword-bullshit. The whole company is based on selling a DNS blocklist for as much money as possible.

People want to be safe online. They are even willing to pay for it. They just want their telco to offer them a smooth way to get there. Common cybersecurity products struggle with low adoption rates due to the need for downloads. Whalebone Aura requires no installation or updates and activates with a single click.
That's sounds a lot like the ISP is implementing some kind of deep network inspection "to protect you from the internet"... aka censoring.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_airship_accidents
Apart from the 80% of the entries that are basically "Crashed during bad weather" - my personal highlights:
... breaks loose from its mooring during a storm and is blown over the English Channel; after sightings in Wales and Ireland and a brief touchdown in Belfast, the airship was blown out over the Atlantic Ocean and is never seen again.
Zeppelin LZ 8 Deutschland II (brand new) is caught by a wind gust while being walked out of its hangar and damaged beyond repair after it smashes on the roof of the hangar.
... the airship, weighed down with gold and burgundy paint, reached 600 feet altitude before beginning an unplanned right descending turn, making a "controlled descent" into a garbage dump, impaling the blimp on a pine tree, coming down just a quarter-mile from the site of the Hindenburg's 1937 demise.
... suffers an intentional mid-air collision with a radio-controlled airplane.

Lemmy is open source, so feel free to go back to Reddit
I did this because it looked better this way... and it was totally 100% intentional :D
What do you mean? An african or european owl?
Last month I tried to unlock a Motorola phone. Guess what: There is no option to unlock the bootloader because it's one of the models that can't.
The year before a Huawei phone: I had to disassemble half the device to shortcircut something while running a custom made software on the PC.
Yeah now try to get an average user doing this... good luck.
And I'm not even scratching the part where some of your devices hardware is not working properly because the closed source firmware is not available.
A quick look at which recent phones (since 2022) can install LineageOS: https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/ Just 35 phones (Pixels exluded), including only a single Samsung phone!
Now compare that to installing Windows/Linux on a PC where you literally plugin a USB and hit install...
