That’s my concern too. They should have baked those into AOSP making it available for all ROMS.

It isn’t clear which of these features use Google servers and which ones don’t. The “Find My Device” definitely does, and has no place in AOSP. If they’re actually using AI to compare phone state with some tracked “habitual” behavior, it may also have no place in AOSP, but who knows.

A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.
