Did you read the article? Simple text and PDF readers are in the cross hairs. Apps that aren’t “engaging” are in the cross hairs.

I expect developers of perfectly fine apps will have to manually vet those apps with Google.

FWIW, you can run all the services simultaneously, so that you can gradually move.

It’s what I’m doing. I use echo, home, and HA all at the same time.

Clarify the question. Make sure I heard it correctly.

Yes. You can set a permanent password. So long as the machine is on, rustdesk is running, and you have the password, you’ll get in.

I believe you can set it up to auto accept. I’m pretty sure I did that as it was my intention to use it to bring my desktop to my android tablet (which also works well btw).

Ping me tomorrow and I’ll double check for you.

I do, and I’ve used it for a customer.

Server is a VPS running several other services and it doesn’t load them much at all. I think the server provides the handshake, and the rest is done on the two clients.

Perhaps rustdesk. It works as a server /client model, and you can self host the server. Works quite well.

I was (am?) in the same dilemma. Loved my 7 pro, but someone dropped it, cracked the screen, and things started going downhill (hardware wise) from there.

As a replacement I got an 8t (still OnePlus). It’s nice, but I miss the 7 pro.

OnePlus is no longer an enthusiast brand, and I think the Pixel is the only other one currently. Maybe the Nothing phone? That’s kind of early adopter territory still, I think.

Sorry I’m not more helpful. I prefer phones with unlocked bootloaders that allow for alternate firmware to be installed.

I’m using zoneminder. It might be a high bar to entry, but once set up, it’s great.
