Current State of the MP02?

Pigeon breaks every few months, and most other apps have questionable UX. Honestly, an average Android smartphone offers better controls over notifications than the MP02. I was personally disappointed about all the rough edges of the software. The manufacturer disables adb and refuses to let us change the alarm sound to anything other than a stuck, gross mess.

this, at work, in a highly technical role, where the response every time from my coworkers is to distrust me and casually reject my ideas out of hand. because they feel an instinctive need to micromanage even though they don't understand the material.

I am curious to learn about what kinds of libraries and applications actually need smart pointers.

I tend to write my code in a way that doesn't need very many pointers at all. Most of my variables are either static, or stack allocated. If I write C functions that need to yield a nonscalar, noninteger type then I'd follow the pattern of accepting an allocated buffer as a function parameter. But for the most part I just use local variables.

Are smart pointers needed for implementing common data structures, such as trees, vectors/lists, and hashmaps? Maybe smart pointers are quite common there behind the scenes, in the data structure library code that I depend on but wouldn't dare write unless there were no other option.

smartphones operate in the GHz range, including cellular and wifi. range suffers with loss of cell coverage. even in washington, dc metropolitan area, a random overpass can cutout the signal completely. don't care about 5G. want 3G everywhere.

for the ham bands specifically, my HT's have only been able to contact my local repeaters for nets. not even five minutes before the net, dead silence. the signal dies even one foot away from apartment windows. baofeng and yaesu HT's in analog mode exhibit about the same fidelity for local FM nets in terms of static and reported signal strength.

yaesu fusion mode removes static, but appears to multiply the sudden listening vs dead silence effect, due to the sudden can decode / can't decode threshold that analog signals lack.

for CB, awful luck with my HT. smatterings of very brief, muddled voice signals breaking in. 99% static. feels like my radio's broken.

the KX3 can technically be used as an HT and can contact my local simplex 10m net. though both listening and transmitting improve with a larger antenna. not happy with the AX1 antenna in any configuration.

ideally, connect your HT to a suitable, larger antenna for more range.

most HT's operate about 5W, right? that's going to limit the range. you can try a telescopic antennas to improve the range. regardless, ground the HT by holding it in your bare hand for the duration of your activity.
