That being the case, one option would be to create an Android-based desktop-like system by installing <a href="https://lineageos.org/" rel="nofollow">LineageOS</a> on something like a single-board computer (SBC) or a small Android TV box.</p><p>Check out the LineageOS wiki to see what kinds of devices it will run on:</p><p><a href="https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/" rel="nofollow"> https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/</a></p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<p>I&#039;ll take your advice under advisement, Ron, until I receive further confirmation.</p><p>NatWest was the first bank I met (or National Westminster Bank, as it was then in 1967 when I was 18), and all the banks that I have met then &amp; since have been stupid beyond any reasonable excuse. I left NatWest because they have ceased to pay interest on positive balances. VM *do* pay interest, even if not much.</p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<p>I recently moved my bank from NatWest to Virgin Money (VM).</p><p>VM did their best to persuade me to download &amp; use their mobile app but I refused. I&#039;m an old codger &amp; have lost 2 mobiles in my time. The police now refuse to accept any responsibility for lost items and, since mobile updates are few &amp; far in between, I simply will not trust to store my financial details on a mobile phone.</p><p>VM do not have any equivalent of their mobile app for the desktop. I very recently had a bright idea…</p><p>I&#039;m fully capable of programming in python. If I could get the VM text code for the mobile app I could (relatively) easily produce a Python program from it, perhaps even using AI in the process to do the bulk of the cross-conversion, and then tidy it all up by hand. VM could then have by return a desktop app that would work under any desktop OS.</p><p>I had cause to go into the Nottingham city-centre VM office this morning (Saturday 12 Sep 2026) to pay an invoice, and put the above to the service lady &amp; got a number to contact head office. The response was: absolutely not. And it gets worse.</p><p>During the phone conversation with VM HQ it seemed from their responses that the reason for the refusal was that VM were placing company <em>&quot;secrets&quot;</em> into the text code. I have zero idea as to what those precisely were, but got the firm impression that they did not want me to see them. Jehoshaphat! but I hope that I am wrong in that, as they could easily be extracted from the app code.</p><p>Anyway, it seems that I can still not use Devuan to administer my bank account from my desktop, and nor will that change anyday soon.</p>]]></description>
