Parking by App Only

Is this a big city thing or maybe a European thing? I have never seen this but maybe I escaped California just in time. People on HN have mentioned it a few times. I'm in a rural area and I often leave my cell phone at home. My goal is to eventually get rid of my phone all together and I think that is doable.

A bunch of lots in downtown Denver have this "feature". I suppose it's good for the lot owners, they don't have to buy and maintain receipt vending machines.

Restaurants that don't have physical menus, and only QR codes. The solution when you don't bring a phone is they bring you their tablet. Why?

A couldn't agree with the article more. Technology is increasingly being leveraged against us and is making daily life a greater pain in the butt than is necessary, and a greater pain than before the technology came around.

Buying a new phone and transferring the apps over is a complete nightmare with login issues, unrecognized device, two factor authentication etc

just bought a $170 phone (android) to transfer from another bargain basement /anecdote

Makes sense. I just can not foresee myself participating in anything that places a hard dependency on a fondle slab.
