Or you can buy a fairphone!
"Features and services provided by OS are there by the will of the provider." - So you're effectively saying that the Fruity Ones are the gatekeepers of their walled garden.
The problem I see is that the EU law was introduced to specifically counter that position. So I see your excuse for their compliance as being a good argument for 'malicious compliance'.
.... Hamner-Brown but technically it would have to be a comet rather than a minor planet.

The packaging mimics a Farady cage in that the packaging is conductive to allow charge to flow around the sensitive contents rather than jumping into and through them.
If bits of the packaging are touching bits of the circuit board then it is possible for batteries with exposed terminals to discharge themselves via the packaging.
I don't believe you can do the memory usage logging thing with SQL Server, as the process will take the maximum amount of memory assigned to it, and then use that in the most optimal way to increase the speed of queries run against the database.
When you restart the server it effectively flushes the data that has been cached as previous queries were run. So immediately after the reboot SQL Server will (on average) run a bit slower until it builds up a cache of the most used data again.
I believe there are ways to check how SQL Server is using it's reserved memory, but you would have to ask a production DBA about that. I'm merely a development DBA.
"he weaselled his way out of it"
Once upon a time I was a member of a small IT team (5 strong) supporting a large number of engineers on a contract.
I'm doing my normal day-to-day work when a chance comment to one of the other team members led to me finding out that one of our systems had suffered a production database deletion, and the other members of the team (and many of the engineers) were working flat out to rebuild the database ...... and the months of data lost because 'the Oracle backups had been failing due to an Oracle bug that a fix had not been published for'!
I found it so strange that I hadn't been asked to help with the recovery. In fact I hadn't even been told there was a problem.
I deduced that this was actually deliberate as I was the one person in the team that would have stood up in meetings and pointed out the plot holes in the explanation that was given as to what went wrong, and why it wasn't the fault of the mangler that ran the team. "The Emperor has no clothes!"
I have a very short list of people who I will never work with again, and that particular mangler is top of the list!
.... a badly designed 10base2 network that I had the misfortune to support.
Some bright spark had extended the segment that all the servers (in the server room) were connected to into the office outside. The sockets used were a weird (IIRC German) make before break connector. Anyway, one afternoon the whole network started glitching and everyone went into headless chicken mode. I managed to trace the fault to the office portion of the network segment, and informed my boss that it would be necessary to unplug it to find the cause of the issue.
I was told that I was not allowed to do that during office hours, and then my boss disappeared into a meeting. So I sat around doing nothing for 2 hours while the network ran at about 10% speed.
Returning to the area after a comfort break I spotted the rear end of my boss exiting the office as he finished his day, without even bothering to check with my on the current emergency situation.
Finally after everyone else had finished I was allowed to do the 5 minutes of work to identify which of the make before break sockets had failed, replace it, and everything came back up.
.
Within a week I had isolated the server room with a router (or bridge) that meant that office network issues only affected that segment rather than the whole network.
That was one of the few jobs I've ever walked away from because I needed to save my sanity.
..... it seems that they are preaching to the choir.
Those of us that take notice of the reports produced by Mozilla are also those of us that already aware of the lengths that M$ (& Goggle & The Fruity Ones & Spamazon & FaecesBook & Xitter & Ariston & on & on & on) go to to try to make us use their products, and also the ones that tend to avoid those products where possible.
I think there might be a number of Commentards that auto-down-vote any mention of 'Fake News'.
I did consider "Any mention of GPS spoofing is just news of Fake" but felt it didn't have the same punch, and was pretty much like explaining the joke.
If it 'Whooshed!' a few people and they down voted me then I just have to accept that not everyone has my sense of humour ..... Thank <diety>!
How will LISA measure the flatness of the Universe, when it is not measuring the angle between the three satellites but rather the distance between them.
The Universe is flat. Here’s what that teaches us. - Courtesy of Starts With A Bang
How will three satellites a few million km apart measure the curvature when it is already pretty certain that any curvature is on the scale of 250 times the expanse of the visible (92 billion LY) Universe?
I'm afraid it would take a different design of mission, and much larger scales.
That was always my thought about Dilbert.
I could split each cartoon into one of two categories. Either it was so insane that I thought it could never happen, or I could remember when it (or something very similar) happened to me. And the split was about 50%/50%!
I'm sure that others had the same experience, but would drop some of the cartoons into the opposite category to me!
