  • 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.
