I made these screenshots just now to show how wrong nospam always is:

Regarding this purposefully helpful kind-hearted tutorial today...
*Using Android's Mock Location Setting to Watch TV Programming from Other Areas*
<https://groups.google.com/g/comp.mobile.android/c/TUxUT0GVog8>

1. Steve had kindly posted a tutorial thread for the benefit of everyone.
2. Then nospam denied every fact about Apple that nospam happens to hate.
3. And Joerg Lorenz claimed that using Android settings is "fraud"
(which is something nospam has also claimed in the past, where I doubt
either Joerg or nospam has any idea of the five tenets of fraud).

With respect to nospam's brazen fabrication of imaginary iOS functionality:
*Steve was correct that iOS is crippled in terms of mock GPS location.*

What's interesting is how _desperate_ the iKooks are to deny obvious facts.
iKooks are exactly like flat earthers... insisting the earth is flat.

Unlike nospam, both Steve and I own iOS devices and we _know_ that the mock
location capability of Android does not exist on any iOS device ever made.

At any price.

However, what nospam is _desperately_ trying to allude to is there does
exist an abominable *classic Apple clusterfuck* which allows you to spoof
an iOS location if you go to the trouble of always walking around with a
computer attached to the iPhone just so that you can spoof your location.

In summary, these iKooks _hate_ that iOS is crippled in that it can't do
even the simplest of the most basic of the most common things we do all day
on Android - such as spoof our GPS location.

My key improvement to Steve's tutorial is I wouldn't use the mock-location
app he suggested simply because it has ads, and you don't need those ads.

While I have plenty of fake-GPS mock-location apps, this has no ads:

Note that these mock location apps are set inside the operating system,
such that EVERY app gets their information from them, and that these mock
location apps can randomly move along roadways by a given distance per
a given time period, and they can start at the last location, and they can
randomize the amount of movement per second, and they can spoof the
altitude, and some can set a specific exact location by the keyboard
instead of only graphically, etc. They can even send the location to
another phone or get the location from another phone if you want that.

Also note these fake-gps mock-location apps can spoof the wi-fi provider.

I'm not sure the use, but others can spoof both the Wi-Fi & GPS provider.

Since every Usenet thread should educate the users, it would be nice if
someone who knows more than I do about this can explain how we might take
advantage of the fact that you can easily spoof the wifi & gps provider.

Posted to add additional technical value to what Steve wrote for his
tutorial and to also show how the iKooks like nospam hate that Apple
products are crippled in terms of functionality when compared to Android.
