So cool - built-in internet and UPS :) wonder if it’d be very easy to use it as a remote webcam on a farm as a bit of a fun little project?

I always read that if you keep a phone plugged in for long periods of time, its battery will eventually fail and expand into a spicy pillow, which often deforms the frame, or worse, causes fires.

The solution seems to be removing the battery and keeping it running on the charger.

Definitely, but with just standard playstore apps. You really can't get much hardware access from Andronix/Termux AFAIK so GPS, camera, etc don't work.
