That would've the smart choice.

They also could've designed all of this to work as a mesh network so they aren't reliant on anyone elses network.

Yes mesh networks have their flaws but they probably only need to check each meter once a month and it's probably just a MAC address and text. So speed and having the device constantly connected isn't necessary.

I hope the price is reasonable. I'm interested.

Removing other ways of transportation isn't going to lessen congestion, it just adds more cars.

Politicians do things. They allow them because they work for the corporations.

I'm a Droid-ify user. I just downloaded F-Droid 2 and one feature Droid-ify has that's missing in F-Droid is the builtin repo list. Besides that, great update so far.

Probably because it's on a controller. It is fucking stupid.

Payment terminal, can't patent that. Payment terminal on a toaster? Yes you can patent that. Lol

Samsung phones have a built in feature called Secure Folder. It allows you to have another set of apps with a different profile. You can have a different password to for everything in Secure Folder so your kids can't access it.

So this is interesting.

I am running this on a Mac (Intel), on clean install of Firefox.

So I looked at about:config and I listed what I think might be relevant:

Looks like it's not fully functional yet. This was one of the most difficult parts dealing with Linux phones.

as far as the speakerphone thing, I'm fine either using Bluetooth or the 3.5 mm headphone jack. But that's just me. It would be a hassle having to out something just to pick up a call but hopefully someone has a better solution like the one you suggested.

I thought the Mecha Comet wasn't a phone but apparently it has a 4G modem module. I am interested.

I have a feeling NYC school test scores will get a lot higher under Mamdani. Reports suggests more tech doesn't mean better education. It just creates more distractions.

1Password is a paid service. The money given to for the service can go to organizations the user doesn't agree with.

KeePass is free.

How is it the same?
