Yet another case of just because you can...
You're viewing a single thread.
There are so many things that just shouldn't be digitized. I get it but... Just no.
What is there to get?
The average person thinks digital = magic! and marketers/governments, etc are well aware of that, and will abuse that fact anytime they can.
Ever had to explain to someone that "the cloud" isn't a physical cloud in the sky keeping their passwords & nudes safe? I have way too many times.
The cloud is just somebody else's computer!
You can slap a screen on just about anything that doesn't need it and people will want it.
I know that, but what why would the government want it?
Probably has a GPS tracker in it
Service plans also enable location services and geofencing for wired RPlate users
So some of the plates do have that function built in and you have to pay monthly to use it.
