    DAU is still ~24 million so while dropping by half is a steep decline, it’s still pretty good. I’m more curious to see this number in 6 months.

    Am I correct that this would require direct line-of-sight for any device using an antenna[0] enabling this? It seems a bit impractical for your typical consumer use-cases if so, bu…

    > I'm not inclined to recommend it to anyone, unless you're OK with a fairly good but un-and-likely-to-never-be-finished series. I think this is enough justification for me. There'…
