It's somewhat more acceptable for entreprise use cases but remember that attestation doesn't tell you that the machine is secure, just that the software wasn't modified.
It's a combination of anti-competitive practices from Google (Play Integrity, more and more features locked behind closed source binaries instead of AOSP) and manufacturer locking the bootloaders much more than in the past.
lane assist is fundamentally an unsolvable problem with just a cheap camera, it's in the same category as autonomous driving, that's what these stupid legislation do not get.
Anybody who drove in a construction area with messed up / duplicated lanes can attest how this kind of software stuggles.
I don't see how it's relevant if you want something that works on said device?
In terms of resources I think it's roughly going like this, from lighter to heavier:
SXMO < Lomiri (Ubuntu Touch) < Plasma mobile < Android < Phosh < Gnome mobile
I could also add XFCE but they officially don't support mobile.
Android isn't the lightest mobile environment by any conceivable means, maybe it's the most featured but certainly not the most optimized for low-end devices, the days of Android 11 are over.
You need 4GB of ram, a good CPU and full hardware acceleration to run modern Android.
And if the next Android bumps the requirements again, I would put it at the end of the list.
Lighter as SXMO will run on a low budget 1GB of RAM armv7 handheld released in 2014 (maybe even 512MB of RAM), even without 3D acceleration and Android 17 just won't, no matter how much you tweak it
> Search engines for example historically ignored copyright law by copying excerpts or serving other site images, it doesn't mean someone copying Google's code has some moral frepass
Not sure that's the best example as they lost that battle and had to pay, eventually it's been codified in law in most countries.
If anything, the EU has been slow to act, these companies have been operating against all possible antitrust laws for years and continue to do so despite being fined, probably the fine isn't large enough.
No there isn't, Google's requirement is to put that information publicly for everybody to see. That's not nearly the same thing as being available on court request.
With that policy, Google encourages stalkers and put developers in danger.
