Not defending subscriptions, but it's not just data. You need developers for your apps, you need servers, the service needs to be secure, etc. On the data side, as soon you have data, other services also start working, like live traffi

Let me start by saying that I wish you the best of luck and success with the app. With this said, I have many subscriptions that "costs less than a coffee per month", to use a popular excuse. The problem is that I pay $3 here, $5

They would also regret if something went wrong while returning on a Starliner that everyone knew wasn't working as it should. Returning on a Dragon was the safest choice available.

You can filter by speed, connector type, operator, number of connectors, and ignore chargers that are marked as having issues.

Is there any official source that lists all chargers in China? OCM automatically imports data from different countries (UK, Portugal, France, etc). Operators can also submit their data: https://openchargemap.org/site/ab

In London (UK), OCM seems to have more chargers and more accurate data than PlugShare. Zap Map is probably the best option though, but even them are missing some slow chargers.

For Android users wanting to use Open Charge Map, I recommend using the EVMap app instead of the official one. It doesn't let you see or post comments, but you can see pictures if available. Much smoother and also tries to show the cha

The only point that the OpenBSD situation made clear to me was that both Pale Moon developers are good with code, but terrible at basic human interaction. The maintainer was still in the phase of trying to make it work, the code was on a pe

The first thing that comes to mind when I hear "Pale Moon" is their toxic developers. But let's ignore that... Is it safe to use Pale Moon as your main browser? How many security patches is it missing from upstream Firefox? D

Perhaps journalists and politicians should stick with the App Store (which is what 99% of users do on Android, where you can sideload apps) and use Lockdown Mode.

The option to buy devices from different brands is there, but you don't have to. Samsung or Google is happy to sell you a phone, a watch, earphones, and maybe some speakers for your home. Heck, Samsung will even sell you a TV, washing
