Hackers used zerodays to infect Windows, iOS, and Android users

I have a $12 flip phone, pay as you go, not in my name. It can't browse the web and if someone sends me binary data in a text message its shows up the same as if I read binary data in my terminal. The phone has no idea what to do with it. Battery life would be great if the did not remove the cell sites near me. I think this model was replaced by one that is $29 but its basically the same thing. Check Walmart or an equivalent store.

I would do that also, if I could replace the live traffic of google maps. Did you find a solution to that, or do you just not need it?

a) Some do like paper maps.

b) Google Maps could advice direction to some smaller not so well maintained roads, that could increase travel time a lot, or lead to some road where it's hard to turn back. So maybe planning ahead and writing driving instructions at home before driving would be better. Or just trying to follow main street signs for major roads.

c) There are some DIY projects like Raspberry Pi navigator: https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=70517

Oh, I was thinking specifically about avoiding traffic jams as they happen, which requires some kind of online connection.

The raspberry pi project looks interesting, though.

I do not need it.
