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?!?

Fixed that for you /s (… I really want off this apocalyptic ride)
