The authorities already don’t have much leverage over “domestic” spam call centers that are actually located overseas but somehow always manage to acquire domestic numbers to call from.
A couple of years ago Australia had a big reform of the laws where sms providers / voip companies had to actually verify their users owned the numbers they send from. Anecdotally before then I was getting a scam text message every day, now I haven’t had one in years.
Phone numbers in Australia are also all tied to ID. If there is a will to fix the system, it can be done.
Maybe if you live in an area with a warm and dry climate. Otherwise you're out of luck half the year unless you want to risk it daily on icy or wet roads.
Just put on your undershirt, shirt, sweater, jacket liner, leather jacket, hi-vis tabbard, leather trousers, overtrousers, under-gloves, leather gloves, scarf, two pairs of socks, leather boots, balaclava and helmet.
This! The LCDs are a big eyestrain for me driving at night. I've dialed down the brightness but it's still nowhere near as pleasant as the old red-illuminated physical gauges.
I used to drive a range rover sport that would display a long pop up with some legalese about focusing on the road while driving when I hit the navi button. It required acknowledging.
My car has one of those, but I rarely have to acknowledge it because once I put the car into reverse, the display switches to the rear camera. When I put the car back into drive, the normal display comes up and the message has been cleared.
Those acknowledgements are so stupid. There should be an assumed level of competence. If a person gets in a wreck because they weren't aware of their surroundings, it isn't the fault of a poorly worded (or missing) nag on the nav display.
My big pet peeve right now is the auto start/stop feature. You can permanently turn it off by installing a $50 device, but why should I have to do that?
That wouldn't be a problem if it weren't that the built-in MB navigator is by ar the best I've ever used, and definitely better than all of the apps (Google Maps, Apple Maps, Waze, Nokia Maps, TomTom, Garmin, etc...).
Different yet similar enough to make it seem legit at first. The only "giveaway" for me was the website looking like any other vibecoded SaaS website. Not a good sign for me personally.

Legitimately asking, which points and how are they expected to handle it for this type of app (assuming they want to keep it closed source)? As far as I understand it they just need to credit the libraries?
The important thing is there has to be a clear separation between the proprietary parts and the LGPL parts of the app, and they have to provide a way to replace the LGPL parts. I have no idea how this is usually handled in the case of browser-based apps.
Just a week ago I could still create a Google Docs "map" document, add spots, share it with friends who could collaborate from any (incl. non-Apple) device... It's just a pain to do this with Apple Maps compared to how easy and straightforward it is with Google Maps. You can also still import desktop Google Earth bookmark files.
I've worked on many German cars and the amount of bullshit repairs (ie. stuff breaking because of obviously poor engineering) I had to do on them was just way lower than on Ford/Chevrolet cars that are supposedly less over-engineered. French cars, on the other hand, are somehow even worse.
See, that’s the thing. The users don’t care or even know about the whole server/client thing. They just want to change the storage folder. A good GUI lets you do such things without the whole envvar dance.
