Have you ever tried to connect your phone to someone's stereo system in a car? You probably can't do it while it's driving, because some will lockout fiddling with the dashboard while in motion (though don't tell you, so you do it with fail after fail), not to mention how hard it is to use touch screens in a moving vehicle on not perfectly smooth roads. So you wait until you stop at some traffic lights. Then you can't sort out the car that you're in from all the adjacent cars, because few people think to rename their car's identifier, and the on-screen prompts don't include useful information, either. -- uname -rsvp Linux 3.10.0-1160.80.1.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Nov 8 15:48:59 UTC 2022 x86_64 Boilerplate: All unexpected mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.
