The good thing is that cities actively work on reducing noise and air pollution.

Personally, I perceived it as a matter of good engineering: your phone shouldn't spend its energy to heat your ear.

Thanks!

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 ro…

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 ca…

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 navig…

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…

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 …

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?

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 req…

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. D…

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…

Looks promising - will look into it!

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 "…

privacy.apple.com is a neat shortcut, it's the first option there.

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 a…
