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 carrie

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

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 in

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

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.

Just to double-check - does this mean Ubuntu 18.04 cannot be a VSCode remote target anymore? > VS Code 1.86 (aka the ‘January 2024’ update) saw Microsoft bump the minimum build requirements for the text editor’s popular remote dev tools

Only a few carriers use non-expiring QR codes.

Depends on the carrier if the QR code can be re-used.

Ahh, I did consider PHAsset.fetchAssets but my understanding was that the method will download the file if not present locally - which wouldn't be acceptable for an app, I guess. Do you know more? The introduction says "Retrieve a

So it appears you can conveniently query the DB for filename (+directory), UUID, and (original) file size. But I can't find a good way of opening a Photo by filename or UUID. After all, the file might not be present locally, so opening

Photos.app doesn't show file size… so I thought, why not build a little Photos.app extension or a separate app that queries for large files? Turns out that the API doesn't expose "file size", at least I didn't find

I saw this presented at Bits & Bäume conference - excellent work! I've previously heard other, very high-level approaches on "sustainable software", but few seem to care to bring all the ideas into practice . KDE does, a
