Ahh, apologies. Thank you! I’m learning new things! :-)

So… I am not a scientist, just an enthusiast. But my understanding is that the speed of universe expansion doesn’t correlate with the speed of light. The speed of light is still constant.
Instead, the universe expansion rate is measured via something called the “doppler effect”. Scientists are able to use telescopes and take a screenshot of the night sky. Stars that tend to be brighter and bluer are closer to us. And stars that tend to be darker and more red are farther away from us. By taking snapshots and comparing it with previous snapshots over a long period of time, we are able to see a difference in color in each star which then shows us which stars are moving closer and which stars are moving further away.
Thus by measuring the speed at which the doppler effect changes, they can determine an estimate and compare whether the universe is expanding faster or slower over time without breaking the cosmic speed limit that is the speed of light.
Another analogy for the doppler effect is that it’s similar to what happens when a train passes by us. But in the case of a train, the doppler effect is with sound. As the train gets closer, the sound gets louder and seems more higher pitched. Then when the train passes us and gets further away the sound fades away and gets lower pitched. All the while though, the speed of the train is still constant.
Hope that makes sense. And anybody that knows more than me feel free to correct me. ;-)

Who’s gonna pay for the build cost and maintenance? Just curious.

A good way to avoid this would be to go to sleep before that time and wakeup afterwards.

Depending on what apps you want, you can try downloading Winlator and run them. I’ve had some success running windows games on my phone. However I never tried productivity apps.
But… Theoretically, if “wine” can run them then Winlator should be able to run them.
That’s about as close as it gets currently. Although it does require some level of tech savvy knowledge I suppose (and an android phone). Which thus means it isn’t perfect as you previously stated.
Maybe it’ll improve over time. Just have to wait and see.

I’m not sure I’d the feature is region locked or not. I didn’t have to worry about any of that. This feature is brand new with the One UI 7 update.

I currently have and use a Samsung Galaxy S24+. Not sure what you mean by CSC.
There is a default voice recorder app included with the phone which can be used for meetings or other recordings. But when I make a phone call there is an extra button on screen. When clicking the button it informs the caller that the call is being recorded for legal reasons. Any recording that goes thru that app is able to be transcribed.

For users with a Samsung Flagship phone, if you have the “One UI 7” update, they just recently added this feature.

I use Kdenlive to make Karaoke videos. The kind with text and it animates over the text. Allowing viewers to sing the songs.
Granted… I only started last year and I only have 2 videos and I’m severely slacking off… But that’s besides the point haha… I still did it.
Here’s hoping the update is really good.
