This is truly ironical that some apps refuse to work on system that is much secure.

I use LineageOS and it is true that I have to use Magisk to have banking app working. And I understand that this is not for everyone.

I just wanted to mention that there is a way to use older phone and have security updates longer than vendor provides it. And even longer than Apple.

I get the argument about binary blob updates. Security is never 100%. And it also shows another reason why binary blobs make things worse.

Motorola G6 Plus (and many other Android phones) is supported by LineageOS which is up-to-date version with security updates.

tssk··on Getting ready to ship 13th Gen and announcing power saving Expansion Cards
I was waiting over one year for shipping to Czech Republic. Finally I solved it by buying over Germany with service that created virtual address there and reshipped to Czech Republic.

Edit: I understand that for business especially non-european EU rules must be complicated. But seems to me that for the EU customer it works great.

I thought it provides simple alternative (as asked) with voice commands. But when reading the details the voice processing is not offline (as asked).

Note that in the 0.8 gateway release, browser-based voice commands are processed using Google’s voice assistant API, so the audio strings are processed in the cloud. The speech-to-text result is passed back to your gateway. If you instead type a command into the text field of the smart assistant screen, those commands are processed locally and do not require a connection to the Internet.

EDIT: But hopefully they will move to something like offline Common Voice in some future release.
