  • We are just stuck in our ways over here. We just got tap payments a few years ago. Even then some vendors still don't support tap to pay lol.

    I always wondered why the US seems to be a hold out for adopting new technology. It might just because out government is extra slow at getting anything accomplished.

    For SMS I wondered if it has something do with communicating between countries. In your experience was their extra charges involved with sending a SMS to someone in another country. (Back in the day when SMS was popular)

    Here in the US we can SMS to anyone within the US for no extra charge. And we mostly talk amongst ourselves over here. So cost wise it isn't an issues. If I was talking to people outside the US there is no way I would use SMS.


  • After my 5 seconds of research, it seems like those SHAFT rules are more for marketing campaigns when your sending out sms messages on mass. Not for Bob and Susan talking about the latest politics. Not sure why OP is getting limited. I can swear over my Google Voice message and I don't have any issues. I am pretty sure that is SMS over VIOP.

    I like how he gave a review of the jail and the food.

    Also he and his son held up a gas station together so at least they had some family time together because he killed his son.

    It is fun to do.

    But for practical reasons the biggest thing for me has been easily connecting switches together.

    For example my kitchen has two big lights. Each light has its own switch but they put the switches in the opposite side of the room, so if you want both on you need to turn on one walk across the kitchen to turn on the other and do the same thing to turn them off.

    With automation/IOT I can now logically connect the switches together so turning on one switch will turn on the other.
