Don't you still have to carry cards for things that aren't digitally excepted, such as a drivers license in most states?
I'm not an American. In Estonia your ID is entirely digital, and I just show my e-Estonia government provided app to a scanner, which can scan my ID from there and verify it. Same with a drivers license. As long as I travel within EU I also don't need to carry a passport with me as a EU citizen.

You are just not making any sense. Your very first comment is the one taking offense with the word 'bootleg' erroneously... If your worry is about phone-home, no need to mention Android specifically. This happens with all off the shelf phones. Point is about a phone that has an OS that looks like what you would expect and just doesn't do what you expect. Obviously you didn't understand what I had written so I had to…
> You are just not making any sense. Your very first comment is the one taking offense with the word 'bootleg' erroneously... No, my first comment is this: > Everyone who buys an Android phone. This is about the opposite, an option to buy a phone that does not do that. It doesn't say anything about "bootleg." > Obviously you didn't understand what I had written so I had to call you on that Again, please stop insultin…
What you do not seem to understand is that with a normal Android distribution, you expect a phone home tied to the manufacturer of your phone.
Matter fact, as I pointed to you but you conveniently ignored, it does not have to be an 'Android' phone. It is the same for Apple and their iphones and pretty much all off the shelf phones. Not need to single out Android if your point is not about the fact that I said 'bootleg' Android...
With a bootleg Android, you forego any security, beyond the phone home. ANd you wouldn't even find someone to speak to about it. What is so difficult to understand?

Well if pointing out where you are mistaken is insulting, excuse me but I will keep being rude. Feel free to quit the conversation.

Is this an AI response? I get why people want a de-googled phone. What I don't get is why they would want to use tap to pay, one of the payment methods with increased attack vectors.
Is this an AI response? No. I hate AI writing, so I never use AI for writing. Randomly throwing in accusations in discussions sucks. I don't think my comment had any of the hallmarks of AI writing either, unless bulleted lists are also not-done these days. I guess I should be happy that people don't recognize me as a non-native speaker anymore?
