Carriers are laughing in cellular triangulation
That's a big 'if', and one I desperately want.
The EBT4 film is designed to change color instantly when exposed to radiation, a change that can be detected by the naked eye.
So, why do I need your system to point a digital camera on the film, if I can see the change on the film? Seems like a solution to a problem that was already solved.
Instead of comparing it to desktop computers, let's compare it to the ESP processor lines. Imagine an ESP device that is made much thinner, lighter, more power efficient, and less likely to crush. Imagine circuitry interlaced into clothing. The ~~horrors~~ benefits are endless.
User: summarize my calendar into a table of events.
Copilot: I don't have access to your calendar. You can upload an ICS file and I can use that.

How can you watch those ads, if your screen if off?? Won't anyone think of the c suite and board??! Oh, and of the shareholders, I guess?!
I'm not sure, but even if that's true, there are other stores available on slightly older versions (fdroid, obtainium, aurora). Note, however, that some newer versions of android will prevent app installation outside of their official play store (they tag it as "side loading, but it's actually just installation).
Edit. Spelling.
Android ... improving privacy
Hate to break it to you, but google doesn't allow any privacy on their ad-serving os.
I would agree that some version jumps do offer material improvements in feature sets, but they also come with further erosion of your privacy.

Their privacy policy is stupid. Here's an archive link, so you can avoid la time.
