  • Had this explained once, I might miss a detail, but it’s like this:

    The only way not to drain your battery is to program in selective key words.

    “But then its always listening” yes, but also, no.

    Imagine someone speaking into a microphone, and seeing their voice bounce around on a oscilloscope.

    This compresses the audio a LOT, and makes it very difficult to discern the differences between words.

    But if you were trained to notice the pattern for a specific word, like “Siri”, then you could ignore all the other shapes, conserving your battery.



  • One notable bug I’ve had was being unable to install a specific bundled APK, though I think that’s my fault for not using current vendor firmware.

    Hypatia is a virus scanning app but can be installed on other android devices.

    Mull is their internet browser, works well even with aggressive privacy settings.

    The ROM is heavily modified, and mostly uses the fossify brand apps (formerly Simply).

    Divest serves a very specific purpose. It’s not designed to be rooted.

    Hope this helps.

    Oh no, you’re going to make me be that guy lol.

    Ricing comes from “rice cooker”, meaning a Japanese car. The term is so far removed from any racial implications now, that some people say RICE means “Race Inspired Cosmetic Enhancements”, though it’s just an excuse where one need not exist.

    I regularly see people brigade for others to stop saying it, even though the word now exists on its own. People treat it like it’s comparable to something like the Washington “Redskins”, it isn’t.
