I’m about to degoogle my stock Android phone. For the past few years, I’ve used it to handle the non-open source apps that I don’t want running on my main phone. As I’ve finally weaned off GApps, I realize that I might as well go degoogle the rom as well.
edit: to be clear, I’ll be using sandboxed Play services on GOS
But since that phone is my compatibility guinea pig, is it likely I’ll still run into an app that demands unmodded Android with no alternatives? In your experience, has any bank or other service required the app on regular Android, with no alternative for the desktop, browser, etc?
You wouldn’t be able to pickup without a smartphone. If you are not home, you’ll get a little note in your mailbox and go to a partner package shop
I feel we’re talking about different things. The only Amazon lockers I’m aware of are the ones in shops, offices, and other public places where you go to pick up your parcel and can do so just with a code. Do you have your own personal one installed at your house?
No the one in talking about is installed outside without a screen.
Looks like this.

Interesting, I’ve never seen one like that without a screen. So do they warn you when you try to order to one of them that it will only let you pick up from it if you have their app installed?
Correct. You have to use their app. Tried using the web version but it said app only.
Wow, given that they already had lockers that your grandma could use with a code she wrote down on a piece of paper this really seems like a step backward. Clearly the extra money they hope to make from more app installs sounds more lucrative!
