Lets say you are building a delivery robot. You need not just situational awareness with LiDAR, but also a map for route planning. Will Google give you access for such technology if your innovation is a direct competitor?

If its not a delivery robot, but firefighter robot?

CoMaps rendering is almost instant and map palette is easier on the eyes.

Please make an effort to improve underlying OpenStreetMap dataset:

It's evident that Mandatory Access Control has become, ahem, mandatory.

Both VM and inference engine processes should be confined, at least. There's a project where it's already done for many applications. [0]

Additionally, `lockdown=confidentiality` in kernel boot flags greatly reduces attack surface. (interferes with unsigned modules like NVIDIA drivers) [1]

Then AppArmor profiles could be written for absent applications with a learning-mode tool [2]

Nothing is bullet proof, but these approach significantly reduces potential consequences [3]

Favorable environment of Linux distros is an initial phase of technology. This state is gone for years now, AI is just making it evident. Adapt or become obsolete.

Can't say whether the of lack funding (move to Cockpit from Red Hat) is the reason, or maintainer is just an obstructionist (strictest feature policy).

Shady sponsors (if there is any) doesn't matter when transparency is in place. Want to reveal malicious intent? Provide a PoC.

Only hardware that supports bootloader relocking are Pixel devices. There are no others to consider development effort - plain simple. No, you can't use an unlocked device as a daily driver. Up to a minute out of your hands (or triggered reboot from public power outlet, due to outdated Lineage firmware) - and your bootloader is rewritten with one that collect your FDE secret and sends it to a remote server.

Opaque hardware? Which hardware are better and more transparent than Titan and upcoming OpenTitan? Bruteforce protection which considers current ambient temperature - what more do you need?

I can't say anything about VPN affiliation, but everything else is complete bollocks.

I wouldn't say Tor Browser is the best because it requires custom configuration to be usable conveniently, which will make the connection non-uniform (and the user will stand out).

>Tor is pretty good for protection. Then there's always i2P as well…

Tor and i2P does nothing for (anti)fingerprinting - the program which render the web pages does.

>Saying one browser can protect the best is pretty hard to prove.

Not a proof but things to consider: https://privacytests.org/
