That looks cool but the issue would be getting merchants to implement it

I wonder if there was some other reason for this removal, e.g. I could imagine some change in this generation that could have made the hotspot sensor redundant for some reason.

But yeah it’s far more likely to be for the reasons you outlined. Absolutely diabolical.

Oh I’ve been using Acronis for this purpose for a while, nice to know foss tools exist that accomplish the same thing, I’ll probably use this next time.
