I understand a reasonable amount about exploits, but I’ll keep your comment in mind.

@rook @BlueMonday1984 Android has asked me daily to update to v.14 for about 7 months.
I’ve said no every day, and it seems it’s a very small price to pay :-)
@V0ldek Well I lent my phone to a friend, who accidentally clicked to agree an update. Expensive mistake, for me. It downloads updates (at my expense using mobile data, potentially, disregarding restrictions).
The charging limit at 80% is now broken and so there is no way to start the day with a nearly-full battery, without waking to a battery that’s been simmering at 100%. The battery will probably be knackered within less than a year.
So it’s now my spare phone, replaced by a Fairphone without foistware and with the ability to control my own updates.
