Lifehack for you: since it worked out this time, you can wait even longer next time

Might be trying to delay the execution itself since there is a shortage of the "regular" injection they use because of embargoes?

Someone's not happy about ReVanced...

I'm sorry, did you just say "mute the ads"? Damn, america really is in the terminal stages of late stage capitalism

Might be for time synchronization in order to not have to rely on a public NTP server.

I'd be interested to know how they're going to track this? They'd need to create some sort of fingerprint for each device, and store it together will all already installed games / software in some sort of database in perpetuity.

Interesting points, I've definitely run into memory constraints which resulted in completely unresponsive hosts a few times over the years. But as the author said, I don't see this changing within any another of time due to the large scale archetectural changes required... The author also mentioned "I’m tempted to abandon using Windows, macOS and Linux as the main platforms with which I interact.". Does anyone know which "daily driver" compatible operating system the author could be referring to?

In the end it depends on your risk profile and adversary model. Usually it's not a good idea though. Why not have an SSH tunnel to the network/machine and use port forwarding to forward the RDP connection? Or why not use SSH for remote access, period?

As I said "WITHOUT" any custom/special map. I can enter my home address as is and the search / navigation works as expected - same as it would for gmaps, apple maps, ...

Works fine in Germany without any Special Maps
