Phones should have FM radio again

Radio access could be a critical safety feature in the years ahead.

I didn’t even realize Qualcomm removed the built in FM radio from their chips. Huh.

    I also remember some guy at a think tank in the US that covers cyberwarfare saying that one of the surprises was that Russia didn’t try to disable Ukraine’s cell network, either via cyberwarfare or via conventional means; taking out the cell network would do a lot to dick up a country.

    Russia didn't disable the cell network because they were using cell phones to coordinate their forces (as presumably they didn't have proper radios).

      Yeah. It's not like Russia isn't into dicking up Ukraine.

      Russia doesn't want ukraine or its people: Russia just wants what it probably calls 'western Russian' Farmland; and some poor people to work it.
