My uncle had a pitbull named “kitty kitty”.

Atleast that’s what he dog thought, as when my uncle would feed the cats and dog, he’d always call the cats by saying "here, kitty, kitty… ".

… my third, but still special.

Yeah, I’m curious and concerned “how” Amazon did this.

I mean the first thing I’d do would be login (cause it’s necessary), enable adb, disconnect the internet, block firmware updates, and restrict dns then reconnect to the internet.

Is that what these people are doing? Or do they just grab the latest firmware, sideload their app(s) and hope everything will “just work” today/tomorrow/ and beyond?!?
