I think it's more of an age group and/or technical knowledge. From doing firewalls for residential and commercial buildings I've noticed that the boomers care about privacy to a degree (price), while anyone born before ~1990 has a much deeper understanding about how valuable your data is and what someone is capable of doing with said data.
Gen Z doesn't care as long as it makes it easier for them. For example, they would rather use a third party's app to order food from a pizza joint down the street rather than calling them on the phone, even if the app has a built in fee, higher prices and tips that go to the driver but notbthr restaurant itself. (I've seen this 1st hand...) 🤷♂️
I have an LPR camera, I would be more than happy to try this and report back the the results ;))
Developers, UI/UX as well? I know a guy 😉
Nubia’s Red Magic Tablet was built for gaming (if you like gaming on Android)
https://liliputing.com/nubias-red-magic-tablet-was-built-for-gaming-if-you-like-gaming-on-android/
The first Red Magic tablet features a 12.1 inch, 2560 x 1600 pixel display with a 144 Hz refresh rate, 240 Hz touch sampling rate, and up to 600 nits brightness as well as a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 processor and as passive “ICE Magic” cooling system that the company says helps keep the temperature low during gameplay. The tablet is up for pre-order in China with prices starting at 3,999 CNY (about $550.)
While Nubia is putting an emphasis on the tablet’s gaming cred, it also just appears to offer a pretty good set of specs at a reasonably affordable price tag (at least when compared with Samsung’s flagship tablets).

Google Cloud furthers Bitcoin Lightning ambitions with Voltage partnership
https://cointelegraph.com/news/google-cloud-bitcoin-lightning-voltage-partnership
Google Cloud is the latest company to show interest in Bitcoin Lightning. The $225-billion cloud and data service recently partnered with Voltage, an infrastructure provider specializing in the Bitcoin Lightning Network.
The partnership will allow one of the world’s largest cloud computing providers to roll out Bitcoin-based services worldwide while assisting the expansion of Voltage’s operations.
Conversely, Google can use “Voltage as sort of their outsourced Bitcoin and lightning team.” He said, “We service that business for them of actually, you know, helping companies that are interested in adding Bitcoin or Lightning into their services.”
Despite Apple striking off the Lightning-friendly app Damus — much to the chagrin of the former Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey — Lightning continues to gain traction among billion-dollar businesses worldwide. One of Mexico’s largest companies has begun experimenting with Lightning, while two major crypto exchanges, Binance and Coinbase, recently promised Lightning integrations.
China releases its first open-source computer operating system
China has released its first homegrown open-source desktop operating system, named OpenKylin, state media said, as the country steps up efforts to cut reliance on U.S. technology.
Released on Wednesday, and based on the existing open-source Linux operating system, China's version was built by a community of about 4,000 developers, and is used in its space programme and industries such as finance and energy, they added.
China's massive market for operating systems was worth 15.5 billion yuan ($2.1 billion) last year, state media said, citing an industry report.
Developing an operating system independent of U.S. technology has been an important goal for China's tech industry in recent years, with many companies and organisations having contributed to the development of the OpenKylin system.
It most notable backer is the China Industrial Control Systems Cyber Emergency Response Team under the purview of the industry and information technology ministry.

This may not be a Pixel feature drop update, but I would say it is far more important.
It's well on it's way, feel free to stoke the fire. ;x
Why did they remove IR blasters from smart phones?!? Unused to program machinery with an old HTC Apache running Windows... I never thought I would miss that, or say this...

After two days, the Private Key has been found and claimed!
Want to know where it was? I placed the key on the image of a painting in a series I dedicated to Julian Assange. These are 16 pieces titled "Julian's Dream" and there are still a few available for you collectors out there.
Take a close look at the following artwork (zoom in):
