It's pretty bad. I'm having to back out of the stream every few minutes. Maybe Netflix should stay in their lane.

Ah gotcha. I just remember that they used to do it for I think the original iteration of e911 and thought they kept it around for other purposes, but I didn't realize the necessary equipment and financial details involved, so that's fantastic news. Thank you!

Iirc phone calls and alarms still work after a reboot in the lock status, it just disables biometric unlock and keeps the filesystem encrypted

It seems like it's already beginning. For one, Firefox is getting blocked more and more often as being "out of date" (it's not) while a chromium-based browser is fine. My VPN keeps getting flagged as malicious (PIA). It's getting really irritating.
