I use O2 and I realised that if I was depending on the satnav functionality of my phone, depending on map update information on the road, I would be a bit stuck today.
I imagine there will be a lot of people out there on the road who are going to be affected by this.

After writing mobile apps for a couple of years, I realized just how huge the security issues of the entire stack (radio protocols, platforms, and apps) were. I stopped writing apps and ditched my phone. I only really miss the navigation, but my stand-alone gps is adequate.

I'm disappointed no one has commented that there are missing semi-colons and the equality is using == instead of ===, which would then result in a religious debate around the concept of truthy/falsy and a debate on jslint vs ESLint which would, in due course, spiral down to comments on personal hygiene and ancestry.

Sigh. When I was a lad these things were important.

I had to look that up, did not know === was a thing. Then this[^]:

JavaScript has two sets of equality operators: === and !==, and their evil twins == and !=. The good ones work the way you would expect. If the two operands are of the same type and have the same value, then === produces true and !== produces false. The evil twins do the right thing when the operands are of the same type, but if they are of different types, they attempt to coerce the values. the rules by which they do that are complicated and unmemorable.
