    New House help with exterior placements

    Wut? Really? How does stopping tracking save the internal tracking mechanisms...that are now locked inoperable anyway? It writes this condition to protected memory space somewhere, presumably, so that a factory reset doesn't restore usability? I design electronics for a living and don't do...
