        You can slap a screen on just about anything that doesn’t need it and people will want it.

              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.

        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.
