No worries, all the best with that.
I wish I could be more help with the calculator app but I get the impression that it’s intended to be built with the ROM and while I’ve compiled ROMs once before I have no idea how to include a different app with the build.
I know it probably wasn’t your intention, but thank you for making my day with this comment, and for doing your part for the fucking birds.
You misinterpreted what I said in that initial comment, asked if I was hallucinating, and when I clarified this misinterpretation, you proceeded to skip over anything I had said beyond the first link.
You are not giving any valid counter arguments to what I said in my original comment (in fact detracting from the original point of this whole thread by speculating you hurt my feelings?), this is why I believe you are acting in bad faith.
It’s clear you’re acting in bad faith at this point - you’ve completely skipped over anything else I said in my original comment.
The first link is evidence that video codecs cost money and, as per that source:
Most video codecs such as H.264, H265/HEVC, MPEG-2, MPEG-4… requires the manufacturer to pay a license fee. The fees are then added to the final product, but the actual codec fees are usually unknown to the end user.
This was in response to the earlier discussion about third party libraries costing money.

The license to use macOS is not free. You must run it on a Macintosh computer and, keeping in terms of the license, cannot be run on non-Macintosh hardware. You must therefore purchase a Macintosh computer to use macOS. See Page 2, Section 2 of the Software License Agreement.
You keep repeating this argument of “show me where I can possibly pay for it” presumably because you know that it is not for sale and this is common knowledge.
What is being omitted here is that because anyone has the ability to put a PC of their own components together, Microsoft has two roads for these people: give Windows away where Microsoft sees none of that money back, or sell you a license to use Windows - they choose the second option. This is why you can buy a license for Windows. If you could only use prebuilt machines and were unable to make your own PC, the license cost would be passed onto the manufacturer and thus amortised in the final sale price, and you would also not have the ability to purchase a Windows license directly
Apple doesn’t need to do these extra steps because they are both the software vendor and manufacturer, thus the development costs associated in macOS is also amortised in the final sale price.
Please stop defending a trillion dollar corporation over specific pedantics and omissions. macOS is complementary software, it is not free.
I was going to recommend RevampedFMRadio but I see your device isn’t either Qualcomm or MediaTek.
There’s some discussions on XDA and Reddit I found where someone wanted it on an S10/S10e and the responses were that the Exynos chip does not have any FM radio functionality at all.
I looked up your Exynos 850 chipset and Samsung’s datasheet says it does have an FM radio, as you yourself surmised by it being in the stock ROM.
There is this app (seemingly without anything prebuilt) for a different Exynos chip, but given it hasn’t been updated in 3 years and the chip difference, I wouldn’t have high hopes.
Otherwise you might have more luck asking the LineageOS maintainer why FM radio functionality is missing and if they could add it.
It’s still an unpleasant experience today carried via FAT32 or exFAT and the limitations that come with those filesystems.
Obviously much better than the old days you’re describing but I wanted to move some files from a Mac to an NTFS drive and it was incredibly frustrating because macOS won’t write to NTFS
I think in the case of the Minecraft movie, Jack Black is a symptom of a bigger issue with the movie; it was always a cash grab
I get how you feel, but personally I don’t really have that for all of tech. I’d say if apps could be in a state just before enshittification comes in, that would be my date per app.
But I think even in modern day, open source is bigger and more powerful than ever, Linux is actually viable for some non techies (Steam Deck), and I’m genuinely happy to be in the present in that respect. If you manage to avoid using all the proprietary crapware these days, it’s never been a better time to embrace open source software.
Of course, environmentally and politically things are absolutely horrid, but I think that’s a topic out of your question’s scope.
Total opposite of autocorrect, I disabled mine because it was pissing me off, proceeded to ask a friend for a screenshit instead of a screenshot.
