Running a phone without firmware and driver security patches is a huge risk, that goes up geometrically the longer the phone is out of support.
Lineageos is great for making older devices useful but they are not secure, and they shouldn’t be used for anything sensitive like money
For the down voters. Imagine I have a time machine and bring a precontact native American to present day. I know this is dangerous, so I make them read every modern medical textbook first. Chances are they are going to catch a fun modern disease rapidly and die. Not because they didn’t have the knowledge, but because their immune system didn’t co-evolve with the threats. Being stuck out of time is in anachronism, but that’s exactly what we’re asking our cell phones to do. We prevent them from co-evolving with current threats, and then expect them to match all the threats in the future…

Shame on the down voters.
