after catastrophic weather events, FM radio suddenly becomes number one priority

yup

had that happen in 2017

still had a dumb phone capable of fm radio

all the high end phones had the FM controllers purged

most smartphones have an chip inside capable of FM

the regular ones

but the flagships lack it

for whatever idiotic reason

it's such an important feature

nah. even the new ones; they chip is just disabled

Okay boomer

hold up

`The Galaxy S8, (The snapdragon variant), has a built in FM radio receiver, one of the few phones that have this feature. Therefore, without using data or wifi the phone is capable of accessing local radio stations`

at least, from what i understood; system on a chip still incorporated the circuit rather than remove it

WAIT HOLD UP

WHAT THE FUCK

HOW WHERE

yup

I gotta investigate

like i said

I need this baby

it's a subsystem on the system on a chip that they use

i think they use it to track stolen phones though as under normal operation, the feature is disable be default

my phone is some UK variant

idk if it has the chip

gotta check

i can see the US ones do

hmm. good question

also enabling fm on the us ones is convoluted as fuck
