UK/EU has had contactless payments via our bank cards for about 2 decades now. America caught up eventually some years later

When phones got the ability to act as our bank cards, it made sense for them to use something compatible with the same technology that was already deployed

Funnily enough, America (and I guess also Korea, given the companies) dragging their heels on standard contactless is one of the main reasons why Samsung/LG briefly put out a couple of generations of phones that had a magnetic stripe mimicking payment feature in addition to standard NFC (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_secure_transmission)

Jazz FM for the morning coffee, BBC 6 music when making dinner

I’ve gotta be honest I somehow missed the entire context added to the body, but OP gave a good answer anyway

Neither is a problem, leftover cheese will just get eaten as a snack if it’s not enough to keep until I go to the shop next (I usually go every other day for something since it’s a 2 min walk)

Leftover bread just becomes a piece of toast with some butter (I basically always have it in, and get the replacement before I totally run out). Tbh with a coffee that’s just my normal breakfast some days anyway

You had me wondering so I looked it up

I dropped a zero, it’s 500MB (and may be a bit bigger now perhaps)

Google pixel phones have automatic offline music recognition where the database is something like 50MB IIRC and it’s pretty good unless I’m listening to something particularly niche

I assume you could build a similar database if you had the source material to do so.

You’re potentially gonna have an issue with games that have dynamic soundtracks that aren’t exactly the same every time (think in an action game how the music changes based on if fighting or something)

Lmao what a toxic piece of shit

Privacy is something everyone deserves, not something only criminals want
