Not sure if anyone would know, but how exactly does it get verified when someone pays by an app, that they have paid?

I understand the concept--a person will go around maybe with a Zebra handheld that has cellular, and scan the plate. Maybe they have a wireless hip printer that can generate a summons.

That's in theory, is it even true or is it really the honor system?

My last 2 GMC Sierras had really poor reception for AM & FM.

GM, along with other brands, started using a different exterior antenna that had a wire that was wrapped around the main antenna and was covered with a plastic coating, which they claimed would solve the problem. Nope, still crappy reception. Also, the radios were no longer "Delco" radios.

Apple has released iOS 18.3 and iPadOS 18.3, bringing significant updates to iPhones and iPads.

The new versions include improvements to visual intelligence capabilities, allowing users to interact with their devices in more intuitive ways.

At my age--I had thought I'd make it my lifetime avoiding them.

The reason for getting it is so my kid can learn the rules and strategy of ice hockey. No joke, as a parent who has a K or 1st grader or 3rd grader (granted my kid is older i.e. 5th) on how they learned the rules, and they'll say gaming.
