„Die Funktion, zwei #WhatsApp-Konten parallel zu nutzen, setzt ein Dual-SIM-Smartphone voraus. [...] Damit dürften für viele Nutzer zusätzliche Kosten verbunden sein.“
Facebook WhatsApp verschickt Nachrichten nicht per SMS, sondern übers Internet. Das geht per WLAN, man braucht also keine mobilen Daten (für die Zweitnummer reicht eine billige Prepaid-SIM). Nach der Registrierung muss zum Chatten keine SIM-Karte eingelegt sein, d.h. die zweite #SIM kann draußen bleiben.
Personally I'd not consider that a viable option unless a competitior offers a better and more compatible product without bs in their ToS since "#KYC" on SIM Cards has been weaponized for racist harrasment by providers!

SA Mobile Network Operators recycling Cellphone ‘unused’ numbers without notifying Customers
From Daily Maverick 9 Sep 2023: Vodacom recycles numbers after four months of inactivity, whereas Cell C, MTN and Telkom do so after three months. These operators argue that the practice is driven by the high demand for cellphone numbers from new customers.
🆕 blog! “Using disposable phone numbers for better security”
Last night I received a call from my bank. They'd detected an unusual transaction and wanted to make sure that it was legitimate. Had I recently purchased £10,000 worth of crypto in the Maldives? What?!!? No! ARGH! I started to panic. All my apes money gone! No. Wait. The other thing. I kn…
I'm not one for "New Year's resolutions", but I am one for overly ambitious projects.
For 2023, Project365 is "One New Game Per Day".
Given that I have 634 unplayed games in my Steam account and {mumble} unredeemed bundle Steam keys, there's a reason my unplayed collection is tagged "Pile of Shame".
I'll pin this to my profile, and give a brief summary here each day (or x, if I miss x days due to work or stuff).
I'll play 15-30 minutes of (at least) one new game I've never played before (or played less than 15 minutes of). I'll give every game at least 15 minutes, even if I hate every minute of it.
I'm also open to suggestions; if you reply to this thread with a game, I'll schedule it, or tell you what I thought of it.
One of the things that's come up is that I have a bunch of games that I've played once, and not touched again.

Forza Motorsport is a racing sim, and the latest release in the Forza Motorsport series, which is... a little confusing?
The previous Forza Motorsport was Forza Motorsport 7, not to be confused with Forza Horizon (1-5), which is a more arcade focused racing game.
It seems that Forza Motorsport is intended to be a reboot; however, I do not have enough experience with any Forza Motorsport games to provide any comparison.
I do, however, have a lot of experience with Forza Horizon because FH4 was the racing game that finally "clicked" with me.
My history with racing games goes back to the original Test Drive in 1987. For years I attempted to play racing games with keyboard and mouse, and steering with a keyboard and mouse sucks.
I never completed Test Drive.
I tried racing several more times over the years, nearly throwing a PS2 controller in frustration with Gran Turismo 4. I just never clicked with racing games.
Until Forza Horizon 4. Maybe it was the timing, the Xbox One S controller, maybe it was the arcade nature of the Horizon series, and the tunes, and the fact that most races weren't endurance events.
However, I suspect it was mostly that I could rewind when I screwed up and could finally finish a race "on the podium" instead of losing control most of the way through a race and having to do the whole thing over.
...and using an Xbox controller.
That lead to more practicing, which lead to better driving, which lead to more winning, and more fun.
However, sim & track racing still weren't my cup of tea. Rally racing was worse [scowls at Dirt & Dirt 2.0], an exercise in frustration.
When @triana suggested to me that Motorsport may have brought some of that Horizon magic to track racing, I said I'd give it a try.
She was correct. Just the "simple" addition of rating my driving in each track section, suddenly has me focusing on how better to improve to beat my previous ratings.
Adding driver assists AND talking me through the reasoning behind them (at least in the tutorial) helped me better understand how and when to brake and accelerate.
Also, it's REALLY pretty. If you love cars, Forza Motorsport renders them, and the tracks, and the environment gorgeously.
I still don't think I'm going to end up as a huge driving sim nerd, but Forza Motorsport may have hooked me. It's pretty:
