The good thing is that cities actively work on reducing noise and air pollution.

Personally, I perceived it as a matter of good engineering: your phone shouldn't spend its energy to heat your ear.

Thanks!

Is RCS possible without phone number? Like, Google would just set up an RCS server that accepts GMail addresses, and only falls back to your contact's phone number if they can't route the message? I just find it odd to have carriers involved at all (through the phone number), but sure, it's probably compelling to use an established concept.

> if Apple's RCS implementation won't work without carrier-provided RCS

Could you explain? If RCS works without carrier support, why would Google rely on carrier support in the first place? (It seems for phone number verification, they rely on SMS. I'm confused.)

EU phone, but yeah, good to point out GNSS isn't just GPS anymore. I also agree that the accuracy is insanely good most of the time; I'm just objecting the "accuracy test" using car turn-by-turn navigation :-)

I thought the same, but I was pretty surprised how bad my phone's GPS performance was next to cliffs. Especially altitude was off significantly.

When thinking of turn-by-turn navigation, keep in mind that car navigation will snap your position to roads. For a better comparison, try e.g. Google Maps in pedestrian or bicycle navigation mode. At least in my experience, the perceived "accuracy" drops significantly.

I mean, creating a new Google/Apple ID is one thing, but it's also quite annoying to log out of your primary ID.

So I'm wondering, did anybody try if this works with multiple users on Android? On iOS apparently you can log into separate accounts for iCloud and the App store, but never tried that either.

A similar thought has led me to a telemetry-enabled car liability insurance. I simply did not want to compensate others for risky driving.

Telemetry-enabled insurances offer you a huge discount when you're driving "safe" - in case of my insurance, that was determined by speeds driven, acceleration and speed in curves.

not sure how this is done in the US, but if you buy used from a dealer, I guess you still get a warranty on that?

on top of it all, your loss of value over time is much lower.

will never understand why people would buy a new car that depreciates by 30% the very second you drive off the dealership.

> - Using SMS for mobile login (think dating apps for example)

Dating apps in particular seem to be a problematic example to me. In some regions, phone numbers change owners quite easily (e.g., no possibility to port a phone number to a new contract, and quick re-cycling of the phone number when a contract is terminated).
