UCyborg

No idea, but I didn't manage to reproduce on my machine, I tried forcing Mypal 68.14.0b on single-core, kept multi-process enabled, couldn't break uBO 1.57.2.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OR4VCf_J338 Interesting, and there's me taping the old phone together.

Sorry for the senseless bump, but I'm a bit anxious about the day the trusty old Xperia E3 breaks, it's already banged up somewhat since clumsiness is in my crappy genes...think I've improved slightly in the course of the last decade, but the damage is done, mostly just the case and damaged camera lens (another even more stupid accident that at least wasn't entirely my fault) which I eventually recently lost...had it taped on (didn't retape in time) so at least there was some hard cover on when camera wasn't in use, I don't use the camera for anything interesting... I don't know, I just like my old stuff. If I could go back in time and get the old one as factory new... At workplace for work stuff, my department got smartphones recently, Samsung Galaxy A15. I think I'd rather have another old banged up Xperia than one of these modern bricks for personal use. I know software support is going bye-bye one by one...ugh... Wish I had the idea what to get when the day comes. Did you order it directly from https://shop.cubot.net/?

Some bugs could look like that in practice. One program I work with at my workplace had an issue in the past where a specific function caused the crash, we noticed at some point during diagnosis the customer is using single-core CPU. It crashed on our test systems as well when we ran the program with affinity set to 1 core.

Might be, I said I don't recall exactly, just seem to (mis?)remember that LED on USB flash drives always powered down on my Windows systems (if this is any indication), but it's been a while since I've actually used Windows 7 specifically and don't have a usable Win7 install at hand to test. Win7 was my main OS in the older days. I wanted to point out generalizations may not be 100% accurate. For example, if I "eject" my phone on XP x64, it still charges. If I do that on Win10, charging stops.

True. You fix those with an USB cable and typing strange commands in console. Strange things are always encountered when deviating from official or just being on too old. I deleted Android Auto as it seems to be a dead end on an old phone. Maybe not if you're hacking wizard. Maybe I should buy an iPhone next time? Noticed on APKMirror Google's apps' version histories are absolutely insane. I'd say both email and smartphone already form a master key these days.

There isn't anything they can do I think, old uBO simply doesn't have the function for removing parameters from URLs.

I don't recall Windows 7 not powering down USB device on eject. Maybe it was some strange chipset driver?

That would be (Android) 2.3. I still have a Samsung Galaxy Mini, sitting unused in a drawer, half physical buttons broken with a battery which depletes in half-hour or so. It was upgraded to Android 4 something unofficially. Latest Android 4 is also pretty much dead. I wanted to try Android Auto on a newer phone (unofficially upgraded to Android 7.1.2) some time ago, not because it is something I really need, just curious as the new car came with Android Auto support. Turned out that software also comes with expiration date. Can't even use an older version of the app. Searching "run android auto on older phones" returned practically nothing. Late edit: I've got a hitch to experiment with this again, actually got further this time with one of the latest versions that could still be run (7.4.620993), made it to the main interface somehow, not sure if adding Android Auto to MagiskHide was the key (hiding root access from it). Android Auto wants oversized Google App to run, we'll see if the phone is still usable with it installed...had to do the dance with deleting whole Dalvik cache (which AFAIK isn't even Dalvik on Android 7 but the folder is still called like that) to force install Google App along with updated Maps on very size limited internal storage. Did experimenting with Android Auto before rebooting, which is a bad idea when I've just nuked the cache... Later when I rebooted the phone, it took a while, but it didn't get stuck and still have little breathing room on internal storage. Still have to check if it even works in the car...

I noticed it on Google Street View.

Vintage vehicles don't have Google's software on-board, modern ones may do.

I've got better things to do than figure out what every site's inline script I visit does. A lot of it is non-free JavaScript (like Richard Stallman puts it), so you could say it's oppressive in a way. But you either trust the sites or you don't and I still have a little bit of faith, if I didn't, my existence would be completely unbearable. My brain only has limited capacity, so there's a lot of free code out there that I have trouble understanding as well. If regular expressions aren't your thing, Proxomitron won't be either.

Firefox works as expected here. Here, I get the same as @AstroSkipper, so "ETC/GMT-1". Edit: Serpent 52 also shows correct output when run on Windows 11.

I also observe the problem with new Date().toLocaleString(); with the clock lagging behind by one hour in Serpent 52. XP x64, usual settings for Slovenia, so GMT +01:00 + auto adjust for DST. I do use registry hack for the OS to interpret CMOS clock as UTC time, although I guess I'm one of the few that do, from which it seems fair to assume it's likely not related. Pale Moon on Win11 shows actual current time for my location. Also still lagging by one hour when called like this on Serpent: new Date().toLocaleString('sl'); New Chromium backports (Supermium and Thorium) seem to behave as expected on XP in that regard. I haven't checked Firefox 52.9 yet.

That said, I could live with it when it comes to general browsing where it's not the end of the world unless you're too picky, but when it comes to heavy stuff, including Google Street View...well things like that could be the the reason to take Chrome, unless you already use it as main browser, I still prefer the alternatives in general, despite their flaws...
