Cool concept, but it is all just dicks, racism, misogyny, homophobia, and the "Cool S" symbol. Maybe today the internet wasn't beautiful

BYOD, as in Bring You Own Device, hence buying and importing phones that you wouldn't typically see on a Telstra plan.
Whether or not a device can actually support VoLTE unfortunately actually has very little to do with what is and isn't being blocked; even the industry itself doesn't know what 100% will and won't be affected, as there are devices that are told to be ready for post 3G shutdown, but in testing they are not emergency VoLTE ready, and so will not be able to make emergency calls after the shutdown, and no matter what you put on the phone, if the IMEI number isn't on a compatible registry, that phone will be blocked.
I do highly suggest reading the article, as it does go more into depth on everything (as well as the Change.org petition). I am "tech aware," to a degree; however, I am not at all well knowledged, just something I genuinely very much feel needs to be shared.
I'm late to all of this going on but now am very much impacted by it.
The end of the BYOD phones. Using a Xperia 1 V that is now to be near to useless when out, and I am only 1 of 250,000+ people who are gonna be pushed into buying phone directly from telco instead of actually picking phones that suite our interests and needs (as well as OS for those running anything that isn't adroid or iOS).
I've contacted Sony to see if they will comment on the matter, but it is a shame this has happened at all in the first place.
I would recommend anyone to read James Parkers full article on the matter:
I apologize If this isn't the right place to post this.
Not 100% sure if this is what OP was refuting to, but it is on F-Droid using the IzzyOnDroid repo.
Juiceboxforyou on YouTube does this for me, watching them gets my drive back for wanting to get my nugget working again.
This video of theirs always get me inspired:
Internet car forums are the only reason my cars are still running. A trove of endless car information to fix things yourself and not let them become obsolete, where to find parts, what new parts fit old chassis, etc. Will forever be grateful for them
My very simple guess is this. It requires more parts, bigger assembly line, overall higher complexity, adds weight, makes the headset more fragile, and so forth, so I'm sure if they can make a design that accommodates the majority of users, it is cheaper to say "good enough" then to design and accommodate for the rest of the potential users
Um what? From the article you posted
They were both traveling on the right side of the road of (based on the supplied pictures from the articles) a two way, single lane each way street, and the ambulance turned right and didn't cross any traffic, thus the Ambulance didn't make a illegal turn.
The Ambulance should be at fault, and the Fire and Rescue should be covering charges as the ambulance driver wasn't being well aware enough to make the turn, but at the same time Hoesch, The cyclists, also should have given way.
I'm all for less cars on the road, but don't go throwing information that isn't true, please.
