TL;DR

  • Efforts like Graphene OS face increasing pressure from apps that refuse to run on non-standard Android.
  • The custom ROM project characterizes Google’s approach to device attestation as incomplete and flawed.
  • Graphene OS is prepared to take legal action if Google won’t let it pass Play Integrity checks.

Well that's all very well, but I've got a bathroom speaker I can no longer access.

So how about instead of Daddy Google deciding what's best for everyone, they let things run and give you a warning?

Hell, I've even got games I've paid for that are now gone. Honestly, fuck them for even thinking that's acceptable.

Why can't you connect to the speaker with Bluetooth?

[-] Blackmist@feddit.uk 8 points 1 month ago

It doesn't allow direct connection. You have to dick about with a stupid app to put it in "speaker mode" first.

Gives me Sonos vibes.

I won a Sonos speaker years ago, thing needed (from memory) an app to switch to AUX mode. The speaker sounded great but I didn't want to install an app just to use the thing.

In a grand spectacle my ex's cat kicked a potplant off a windowsill into our fish tank. That shorted a power board, we didn't have breakers (ceramic / wire fuses) which ended up killing the speaker.

Honestly as nice of a speaker it was, good riddance.
