Your next heart-rate monitor may not be a smartwatch at all. Google's latest research hints at a surprisingly simple alternative.

    Doesn’t even need to be European. Ubuntu has a phone version that’s not currently universal, but it is on its way and could be someday. True Linux phones may be in our future.

    We don’t need phones that respect your data, we need phones that don’t collect it in the first place.

      I mean, canonical is British. Even if that not currently within the EU, that’s still somewhat European.

      But yeah, Ubuntu Phone would be a great base. Have the EU pump a few millions into it and regulate that OEMs have to support free OSs and we’re off to the races

        I just learned that Ubuntu Touch is no longer under Canonical. Just volunteers.
