It is, I admit, an absurd way to run a business.

tl;dr Evil geniuses (genii?) you could trigger a volcano to explode https://www.wired.com/2012/04/could-people-trigger-a-volcanic-eruption-on-purpose/ but you can't pick when very well or which. (BTW it's much like the way Sauron did it, so that was better than I'd thought)
How to Trigger a Volcanic Eruption on Purpose

If you are an evil genius bent on achieving world domination by causing a volcano to erupt on command, you need to read this post. Volcanologist Erik Klemetti outlines the steps and potential pitfalls while also explaining why all previous evil genius attempts at triggering volcanoes have failed.

The seasonal news that #WhatsApp will stop working on #iPhone 5 and below #Android 4.3 highlights how the lack of Web apps is a significant environmental problem. Phones become obsolete in part because they don’t get OS updates, and they become incompatible with compiled apps. A lightweight OS for old phones would be more feasible if it mainly had to have a solid Web browser that facilitated a proper selection of #ProgressiveWebApps (& if manufacturers made open drivers/docs). #PWA #PWAs
