From a security standpoint, it means tons of people are requesting unencrypted info from random domains that are possibly no longer controlled by the original owners.
This is just random speculation on possibilities, but somebody could maybe figure out the IP of a suspected pirate for example, setup a dummy tracker, wait for that IP to show up, and then compare any requested hashes against a database of known torrents. How legal and useful in court this could be would depend on the country, but it is a weak point.
At the other end of the spectrum, somebody might find some kind of security vulnerability in a popular client's tracker interface, and exploit that for malware purposes by setting up a fake tracker, but that's a bit more of a stretch.
Canada might start ignoring DMCA as a whole if the idiots in my government keep harassing them. Maybe that'll piss off Hollywood and friends in a useful way...
(Just ignore me laugh weeping at the prospect that billionaires stabbing each other in the back is the only thing I can look forward to in my country now)
Did some searching, and all of Readmoo's previous devices run Android. So you aren't forced to buy any books from them. Install whatever reading app you want and get your books with whatever method you choose.
No. But you can use it to find interesting apps, and then use either F-Droid/Droid-ify to search the app name and install it, or by copying the URL for the GitHub/Gitlab repo linked on OpenAPK for an app into Obtainium. That way you'll get updates.
Nice for discovery, but I'd still recommend actually installing the apps using either F-Droid/Droid-ify, or by adding the GitHub/Gitlab repo linked on OpenAPK for an app to Obtainium. That way you'll get updates.
Nah, for system stuff that updates via Google Play, it's always been like that. Like Android System Webview for example, if you search Google Play for it you only see the Beta and Developer versions of it. You need a direct link to see the default one included with modern Android.
I've never had an app frozen through ADB get auto-updated by the Play Store or Google Services and get re-enabled because of it. An app with an update available will even disappear from the Update list if disabled, and in order to update it you have to enable it first.
