Navigation and entertainment are moot points IMO. Practically every care has android auto/carplay these days.

I'd expect even a junior to at a minimum test and view the response payload, see the token and think "bad idea".

I personally see this as a weak move. Surely a bundle of software can include whatever they desire to include. What next a law suit for bundling Access? Don't get any ideas Oracle...

I have to disagree. Realistically my only job opportunities for good pay are in cities, you couldn't pay me to live in one of those. I'll take the commute for the luxury of living in the countryside away from the noise, overpopula

Agree with a lot of that especially this part: > Major version changes require source-code level changes in all files touching the package I've always thought the tooling was half baked but would get there eventually. The introducti

Source? I have a Chromecast which works fine, Google DNS servers are blocked on my network.

Here in the UK sky recently pushed out an update to their firmware which made it impossible to use another DNS server other than theirs. There was a decent amount of push back, I managed to get them to downgrade my firmware but who knows ho

Isn't that all done on the client? Soon as you require a HTTP response on potentially a slow connection it's no longer instant and a poor user experience.

I'm not a fan of this RFC but how can you make such as drastic decision at such an early stage?

The fact you visited the link would let them know that company x has an current employee named y. Whilst that information might not be sensitive it could be used at a later date to extract sensitive company information.

How many calls are you actually getting? Even if it's one a day, who h seems extremely high, is it really that much effort to lose the 5 seconds it takes to answer and hang up straight away?

As a family living in a rural area with a large commute (driving) to a major UK city I still see it as a net benefit even if you factor in large cost for vehicle maintenance etc. I get to live away from the hustle and bustle of the concrete

Yup, I just don't participate. I miss out on some things but it's worth it for avoiding the distraction IMO. If anyone needs me they can email, Skype or god forbid speak to me in person.

They absolutely exist. A previous company I worked for had the same system as a legacy product but it still got plenty of traffic. We also had fax -> email. Believe it or not there were plenty of accounts sending email -> fax which th

TIL, they should be geared up to take advantage then. We had PCI compliancy but like you mention the big players will take most of the pie.

I worked on a very similar product a few years ago. There were a few companies battling over patent rights for similar implementations of DTMF tone suppression in the payment space. Not sure what happened with that but looks like essentiall
