How do I opt my access point out of Google Location services?
To opt out, change the SSID (name) of your Wi-Fi access point (your wireless network name) so that it ends with “_nomap.” For example, if your SSID is “12345,” you would change it to “12345_nomap.”

Doctors in the US have become the first to treat a baby with a customised gene-editing therapy after diagnosing the child with a severe genetic disorder that kills about half of those affected in early infancy. Ian Sample explains to Madeleine Finlay how this new therapy works and how it paves the way for even more complex gene editing techniques. David Liu, a professor at the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard and the inventor of these therapies, also describes the barriers that could prevent them reaching patients, and how he thinks they can be overcome.
I’d just like to have to trim my nails less frequently

What distros do you install on your mom’s, sister’s … machines?
Pre-configured Artix linux
🤔
Artix Linux (or simply Artix /ɑːrtɪks/) is a rolling-release Linux distribution based on Arch Linux
🤣
yes, it reboots without play services. You may need to execute the code again after an update (when not only disabled bloat is reinstalled but often new bloatware too is pushed without your consent)
the other comment above mine covers your other questions
i used this on many phones from different brands. It may break some apps (that can be replaced with foss alternatives) but it never bricked any phone. 🤷
there are communities on xdaforums.com or xda-developers.com for specific models where you can find more detailed information
afaik, yes. this disables play services, as well as store (vending)
easiest way to stop that ☞
pm uninstall --user 0 com.google.android.gsf
pm uninstall --user 0 com.google.android.ims
pm uninstall --user 0 com.android.vending
