**Android apps are blocking sideloading and forcing Google Play versions instead**
"Select Play Partners" can block unofficial installation of their apps.
"Graphene has questioned the veracity of Google's Integrity API and SafetyNet Attestation systems, recommending instead standard Android hardware attestation."
"There are many reasons why you may want to sideload apps on your Android phone, but there are also good reasons why developers would want to block sideloading. A sideloaded app won’t contribute to the developer’s Play Store metrics, for one, but it also prevents the developer from curating which devices can use their app. Improperly sideloaded apps can also crash due to missing assets or code, or they might be missing certain features because you installed the wrong version for your device. Whatever the reason may be, developers who want to stop you from sideloading their apps now have an easier way to do so thanks to the Play Integrity API."

SEC Chairman Gary Gensler under investigation by Jordan, McHenry and Comer for political favoritism in hiring. In doing some cursory searching on him, he was a coauthor on "The Case for Convenience: How CBDC Design Choices Impact Monetary Policy Pass-Through." I'm sure that's nothing, right?

Why is connecting a new printer to WiFi feel as if I am chewing off my own arm…cables at least have a solid connection to power that begins and ends, no matter how dated, stationary, irritating, or whatever. If your router is whack, it’s a pain in the backseat to get it operational. AND WHY ARE THERE SO MANY NAMES FOR NETWORK KEY?!??
Call the ISP, and you cannot understand the heavily-accented technician (they most assuredly have difficulty with mine, so that’s a wash…). Same with Geek Squad aka Greek Squid. nostr.fmt.wiz.biz
