      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!

            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.
