During one of my last Waymo rides the car stopped on Powell between Bush and Sutter (facing South stopping on the regular lane a bit before the Powell/Sutter crossing). This caused other drivers to drive on the cable car tracks to go a

Yes. Most of the plans of the provider that I use in the US (T-Mobile) include free SMS and MMS to any country (also free data roaming in almost any country). I think it's similar for other providers (Verizon and AT&T), but I'

For some reason lots of Android phones (even the Pixel models from Google) seem to use a whitelist approach that is quite restrictive regarding where VoLTE is supported. For example at least up until recently (and probably still the case?)

My personal Internet connection is a bit too slow to wait for re-uploading all the data and my vserver doesn't have enough disk space to temporarily store all the data so I pretty much do everything in a streaming fashion: I use a Fire

This works fine for smaller accounts, but on larger accounts it seems to be regularly failing (based on my own experience and based on other postings and reports that I found online). Exporting my Google Photos sometimes fails consistently

Just a heads-up if you're planning to use passkeys with iOS/macOS: Might be fixed already, but last time I tried it out it seemed like iOS only stored a single passkey per domain. If you first store a passkey for a@domain and then
