- To be expected
While the general trend of desktop devices in the last year is slightly declining, from august 2025 it is now suddenly rapidly growing, which is not to be expected. According to the log bot detection seems to have changed, please check if this data is still valid or a spike occured.
LLM interference is to be expected but hopefully can be excluded.
Thank you very much!
