Honestly, I didn't really expect this to work, but...

Or in German:
"Aktive Tests der Windows-Netzwerkverbindungs-Statusanzeige deaktivieren"

gpedit.msc
"Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\System\Internet Communication Management\Internet Communication settings\Turn off Windows Network Connectivity Status Indicator active tests" -> Enable

Life hack for people who do WiFi / Network / ESP things with Windows:
There is a group policy to disable this annoying "feature" that disconnects from any networks without internet access.

So, erste unnötige Fahrt des Monats abgeschlossen. Wo genau geht's hier jetzt nochmal nach Sylt?

To detect if the Vantage App or some "LissSvc" (you don't find much if you search for it) has been started to reload some kind of config/session? Idk, it's a mess of events thrown+handled all over the app

Why vendor-supplied Windows services suck #9999

Lenovo Vantage hooks every process startup to throw an event (which is JSON serialized/deserialized twice!) and runs a RegEx on the process name.
So if you spawn a lot of processes, it takes 10-20% CPU just for that.
wat? why?

Android tries to detect the encoding instead of trusting the metadata and guesses wrong in a lot of cases. No matter whether you're using latin-1, UTF-8 or UTF-16

Of course this is known since _2014_ and has been closed as wontfix because stale. wtf.

Other cases that are shown correctly:
"Aer aaaaaaaaüsterer"
"Daa aaaaaaaaüsterer"
"Deraaaaaaaaaüsterer"

Other cases that are shown messed up:
"Der Frauenflüsterer" (that's the song title where this happened in the first place)

Except the last two characters there is literally _no_ difference between these files.

I even verified this with another device ?!?
Maybe it's trying to detect the encoding (for no reason) and the detection messes up in _just_ that particular arrangement of characters?

What the _fuck_ is going on with Android's MediaStore API (one music player apps use to access the media library)?
The ID3 title
"Der aaaaaaaaüsterer" is broken,
"Der aaaaaaaaüsteraa" works fine.
wHAT?

ADS als CPU-Erratum:
Wenn ein Interrupt kommt, werden die Register hinterher nicht wiederhergestellt, wodurch man die ursprüngliche Berechnung von vorne anfangen muss.
