At Eurovision

On the night of the final Walter performed 11th in the running order, following Sweden and preceding Portugal. Each national jury awarded 5-3-1 to its top three songs, and at the close of voting "N'avoue jamais" had picked up 22 points (5 from Monaco and Yugoslavia, 3 from Germany, Luxembourg and Spain, and 1 from Finland, Ireland and the Netherlands), placing France third of the 18 entries and maintaining the country's unbroken run of top 5 finishes dating back to 1957 when full results were first given. The French jury awarded its 5 points to Switzerland.[1]

gollark: I was able to find, *somehow*, what looks like the source of the FM radio native code/app from about four years ago on github.
gollark: I think it would be somewhere between "install original ROM's FM radio app as a privileged system app" (fine) and "reverse engineer SoC FM tuner and implement own frontend" (not doing that).
