Could always search and see if there are any builds for it many open source router firmware out there. OpenWrt, DD-WRT is where I would start looking.

No there would be no blocking the would just shut it down but the could sanction any company that violates the ban that’s about it for enforcement. But a VPN to another country would bypass it but it would not be US version of tiktok.

The apps would be delisted from all App stores and then tiktok said the would have to shut down the US Servers.

You have to disable Play Protect it now blocks unknown apks on android 15 and higher most users will give up only tech inclined users will most likely pursue that cource.

Odd I used it to install GTA: SA definitive edition purchased on the play store website then installed and updated via Aurora still works just updated it recently too.

I agree left reddit never looked back literally asked a question in a sub and was banned like what it was about the exact product the sub was for.

Is it the pro or the tube shield the tube is 32 bit only and most apps and games have moved to 64 bit only so the pro would be needed but I can still install paid apps on aurora on my phone just fine.

Just waiting for them to try this with a US Navy Ship gonna be a bad day for the Chinese 😂

If you get a pixel watch you can pair it and use that for Google Pay FYI and have Graphene OS on your phone.

I think it has more to do with Matrix is kinda becoming the standard for secure open source messaging server but I do agree with you I would just use what works for you personally.

This is what I do I self host pretty much most of my services.

So google play services on android along with Google store are installed in the root system the can basicly do whatever the want permission wise play services is always running in the background and is a huge battery drain by not having it installed at all you are gaining more battery life.

Its already been known Qualcomm x1 arm64 laptop chip will be able to run other operating systems its not a phone.

That is very true indeed but my battery lasts for 2 days though because of it so I’ll call that a win.

Well looks like I’ll be filling unemployment 🖖 🤣
