You don't need a fancy e-ink display replacing the plate for that. Something like a green/red led might do (added to the car, besides the plate), if it flashes red it means unpaid road tax or "stop me", if it is green i

In my experience, the newest features (I mean those introduced in the last 20 years or so) while nice (and in a very few cases actually useful and used) are anyway "marginal" to most (like 80-90%) Microsoft Office users. What Offi

Still, I see no differences with a second number/burner phone. For e-mails, a strategy I used and that worked (at a time I had a domain with its own mail server) is to give a "non-existing" e-mail, like specificsite@mydomain.

This is IMHO fantastic. It is simple and attributes a "unique ID" to an item (that allows, if not an actual tracking, a confirmation of delivery).

This is very interesting and nice.

But - originally - you give a number (be it real or Mozilla or "burner") in order to be contacted by someone (and then somehow it was leaked to the robocallers). The moment you change or abandon the number (be it Mozilla or &quo

I don't understand the idea behind it. Now: 1) You give your real number to someone. 2) Somehow your real number goes into a list used by robo-callers. 3) A robo-call arrives on your real number, disturbing your peace. After: 0) You gi
