  • Really only a handful of things:

    1. navigation while traveling - don’t need it much, if at all at home, but I travel often enough for work that losing that capability would be painful.

    2. MFA - authenticator apps are the most convenient way to do MFA. SMS/email are terrible options for this and should only be used if there is absolutely no other option.

    3. Access to the internet while away from home, both while traveling and while out and about

    4. Music playback in the car

    5. Communication - most of my friends don’t use SMS/voice to talk, instead preferring Discord or Signal

    Basically everything else I do on my phone could be done from a more proper computer with minimal inconvenience.






  • There is no clear definition of what constitutes a moon other than it being a body that orbits another body that orbits the parent star.

    There are some astronomers who say the dividing line between a moon-planet/dwarf planet/asteroid system and binary (or more) planet/dwarf planet/asteroid system is whether or not the barycenter of the orbits is within one of the bodies or not.

    And fun fact: if that definition gained acceptance, it would mean that the Pluto-Charon system would go from a dwarf planet-moon system to a binary dwarf planet system. Charon could get a promotion.
