Fuck no. Please let them fucking stay on Twitter.

That’s exactly how it is.

The default is only people in your contacts list can ask to send you stuff or you can have it turned off and it’ll stay off.

Beijing ambulances to get taxi-style meters

https://www.bbc.com/news/blogs-news-from-elsewhere-36130081.amp

Until now, ambulance drivers worked out the charges themselves, often leading to complaints from members of the public who felt that their bills were too high, The Beijing News says.

In February, Chinese media reported that a man in Shandong was slapped with a 3,600-yuan ($550; £380) charge after his ill father was transported 80km to hospital. That's about half the monthly wage of an average Beijing worker.


Do Chinese really have to pay for ambulances or is that just their governments propaganda.

Or I can turn on AirDrop temporarily and let them wirelessly send it? How the fuck is handing your phone over to someone better? And a QR code is just annoying compared to tapping a name in a list and the other person accepting your request.

Because sometimes you need to transfer something to people not in your contacts list but is physically with you.

You have to turn it on to accept other people sending and it shuts off automatically after 10 minutes, and you have to accept the file as well.

Fun fact: China and every other government can track your phone through its connection to the towers and it giving away your IMSI. They don’t need AirDrop to know who is behind what number at what location.

Good to see colonial capitalistic greed getting stopped.

So it’s just fracking with recycled gases?
