Correct but GOS reverses alot of Google patches like always on voice requires kernel privalage it is disabled on GOS etc. But kernel level signature spoofing gives way for a malicious app to spoof as micro g and infect your device and you would never know because micro g requires the same thing to function it is making itself look like Google when it is not google. So using microg opens your device up to allot more ways for it to be compromised and also makes it harder to detect or notice once it is compromised. For me the security risk of kernel level spoofing is way to high to use on a production device used everyday. Also I trust neither Google or microg I only use Foss apps I don't have Sandboxed play services installed at all I just don't use Google anymore.
So contactless is still broken and that is because it is signed by a certificate granted by Google GOS does not have this cert so contactless is. Broken Unless your bank has thier own implementation then it may work. Also if the app your using comes from the play store you must have sandboxdd play services installed or. Yes you are correct notifications will be broken as it relies on play services for them to work but if you use play services sandboxed everything should work minus any app that enforces play services integrity check..
Usenet for me as well and my 32.7 TB NAS.
So I have Aurora in my main profile that allows apps from play store with no play services installed it just uses the open source aurora store and my bank apps all work without playservices. And I don't use streaming services in anyway I buy everything on bluray and then rip it to my server. But with private space on android 15 you can install sandboxed play services in private space and it is 100% seperate sandboxed from your main profile and can use apps like Netflix etc that do require sandboxed play services and then when not using it you can pause private space essentially shutting it all down and preventing any of the apps from running in the background at all. Plus with sandboxed play services on GOS you can control all permissions for play services all way down to network so you can only allow network or more just depends on your personal threat level or how comfortable you are sharing the data. But even with sandboxed play services in a main profile would still be more secure as it only installs the play store and play services apps no AI.
As soon as Apple announced AI for iOS I sold my iPhone 15 and got a pixel and installed GrapheneOS on it and have no Apple or Google services installed all open source. And more importantly no AI.
Thank you already seen this and like I said if it's a system app it's a no go for me any app to do with Google needs to be sandboxed being a privileged app is why I won't use it.
Could always search and see if there are any builds for it many open source router firmware out there. OpenWrt, DD-WRT is where I would start looking.
Just waiting for them to try this with a US Navy Ship gonna be a bad day for the Chinese 😂
I am sure it will but India isn't even in the top 10 of country's pumping the most.
With the great sales of the Steam deck no the will not the tried it with the Steam boxes and it was a flop then the doubled down and did it with Steam Decks and honestly you could already do it on steam on Linux before the Steam deck launched Proton was a thing or custom wine versions. This is what makes Linux so great and since the Steam Deck was such a big hit the will just pump more money into Proton and game compatibility. It is so nice i can run every game i own in my Steam Library i do not play any games that have issues with anti cheat software.
I agree then let’s congress decide and not the court my only point is now the create where we are now the could remove Biden and say it’s because of hunter biden and the would not be wrong that’s my only point.
Then buy a newer one with longer support this will always be a issue since the support window is the same as Google. Once a manufacturer stops updating drivers and device firmware the said device can no longer effectively be secure because any exploit in the drivers or firmware will forever go unfixed compromisimg the devices security. Doesn't matter what devices you buy this will always be the case it just depends on what your personal threat model is.
