    Imagine I said that I would come into your house and install a new TV and entertainment system, re-build your bathroom, fix your maintenance issues, clean your floors, wash your dishes, etc. That’d save you a lot of time.

    Now, I’ll even do it for free! But, you have to let me install a door that only I have a key to so you can’t stop me from entering your house and also to install cameras and microphones covering every square foot of your house and you consent to being recorded.

    That’s the deal people are making with their digital lives.

    Yeah, it was inconvenient to have to learn how to setup the software so I could have ‘cloud storage’ using my home server. It’s annoying that I have to deal with IP Cameras and ZoneMinder. But, because I do the work myself, I don’t have to let Google/Meta/FBI/Amazon have access to listening devices in my home (Oh, sorry Alexa, I didn’t know you were listening), footage from my security system or the contents of my personal files.

          Mobile payments, better UI, all apps working without Google play services… those are the needed things, but they won’t happen anytime soon
