That reminds me of a character from Discworld called Vetinari who is a trained assassin (which is established as a legal guild in Ankh-Morpork, a quite respectable profession for the upper-class) that failed his stealth examination due to &

I wonder if my Moto Z2 Force will get this (probably not), only got Android 9 a couple of weeks ago. If it does get it, then I hope the update will fix the wonky wifi issues that I'm having that weren't present in Android 8...
