If that were true, all the airport runways would need to have their runways numbers changed ASAP... with the exception of Canada's runways, as they changed theirs to follow true north and not magnetic north.
Sometimes you can have great success using the wires that are already in your walls, provided it's in good nick and isn't isolated. Try a powerline adaptor.
Otherwise, do like i did and run a 50m cable halfway around the house.
Bootloader a are usually pretty easy to unlock, it's Safetynet that is the biggest problem these days. Though you can generally sandbox it a little bit with a custom ROM. If, however, you try to keep it stock and have it rooted with Magisk it can be a nightmare depending on the manufacturer.
If you listen hard, and have good enough speakers/headphones, you'll hear him. The man, the myth the legend, the bongo man. Bangin' away at his bongos without a care in the world.
Having never blocked any of these things... I get a mix of both. Along with the new latest internet drama, a few memes that may or may not apply to me, and some occasional lovely asses and boobs.
honestly, what with all the additional anti privacy and DRM shit google have been adding to phones lately, I've been getting less and less enamoured with Android phones. Sure I can sideload, but I can't install root level apps without jumpling over a number of hoops just to stop other apps from failing Safety net.
I miss the time where all you had to do is install the su binary, then you can do what you want without fear of borking shit.
My current phone has some weird instability issues with Magisk - I can't install AdAway and systemless hosts or LSPosed in zygisk because for some reason, the moment I try it, it causes the phone to randomly freeze up, which to fix requires a reboot. I missed many alarms due to that happening in the middle of the night while I was asleep. (Which while those modules were installed, would happen almost every night) it's a pixel 3a, with stock ROM. The only module I have currently installed is Universal Safetynet Fix, which for some reason, only half works (passes basic attestation, but not the CTS profile matching)
I mean they should do the same study on soccer fans. I wouldn't be surprised if they had similar results.
