The difference is that the inventors of GPS didn’t deliberately buy out the entire world’s supply of GPS receivers so that no more could be sold to ordinary people.

What format would you recommend for archiving photos if I don’t mind slight quality loss?

Meractor is no more of a “false map” than any other projection.

Apparently, not wanting to spend a huge amount of resources on storing slop makes a free hosting service “neo-Luddite”.
