BTW: the #installers via #winget were redirected to #GitHub. This should enhance the download speed a lot.
The mirrors at @sourceforge were not reliable yesterday (only one was available) resulting in painful slow download speeds here in Europ. It is imperative that this is not acceptable one day after a new #release.

Android Sideloading Waiting Period
So Google will *technically* still let you install arbitrary apps on your devices...after a long, convoluted process that includes turning on developer mode, rebooting, and then *waiting 24 hours* to confirm that yes, you want to be able to install apps that haven't been signed by a Google-approved dev key. (On the plus side, you only have to do it once.)
