Google’s big Android sideloading crackdown has a 24-hour catch – how the new limits work (www.zdnet.com)

Sideloading Android apps will become such a hassle that the practice will effectively die.

I just tested it - well, rather, 26 hours ago I did. And I was just reminded and went "shit, have I missed the 1hr window."

But evidently not. I went back and it said I now have until this time tomorrow to turn it on. ~~So there is a second timer, but it's clearly more than 1hr - maybe 24hr.~~

ETA: FML, it's late; I've just realised it's Friday already (hey, it's 2am). And now I'm not sure, I think it said "you have until 2.20am Friday...", in which case yeah, the second window is short, but maybe 2 hours not 1 (it was roughly 12.20am Thursday that I hit the button.)
