Good point, hadn't considered it may be the developers of whatsapp who are reticent to provide access to others to access their infrastructure.
I wonder if web.whatsapp.com works in the browser? Will test later.

Loving @Medved_77 getting the Xmas tree referral in .... slick !
Really hoping we see a roadmap for map updates soon. Albeit in my first month with the car I did nearly 2k miles, in the last 2 months I’ve done < 500 total ! It’s currently costing me < £1.50 a week total expense to run this car - madness !

£1.50 per week. You’ve been robbed!
I’ve spent £1.85 in total on 1900 miles
To be fair, I owe it to my solar panels. I only started paying for off-peak power at the beginning of November.
It’s still dirt cheap fun motoring

That is pretty insane! Must feel good using clean energy.

The problem is that investment has to compete with other investments. It won't increase the value of your home by much, so the money you spend on it is gone, the only thing you get is the leccy savings. If you compare it to investing in a pension or an ISA, it's likely to be 15+ years before it breaks even... which (if what I've been told is accurate) is the point at which you will likely need to start replacing bits anyway.
I can see it being worth it at some point, but I couldn't justify it right now even if I expected to be in the same property for the next 30+ years. The prices would need to fall significantly, or leccy and gas prices increase significantly, before I could see it being worth it, and even then I have much better things to spend my money on right now.
The other consideration is that we’re doing our little bit for the planet. It’s an insignificant amount I know, but it’s something.
Unfortunately a determined thief can still find a way around any security measure with a little time

Spot on... unless you're a 6'6" Body Builder, or connections with the Mafia and have an armoury on site, you want to balance making it hard to take away, but not so hard that they decide to kick your front door in and threaten you and your family.
It's like the glovebox pin, it's great, but if they want in, a big screwdriver, clawhammer, whatever will just break in. In reality, that's about the right balance... again, you don't really want to be visited while you're in bed at night for the sake of the contents of your glovebox.
I actually think the Sentry recording device being in the glovebox is worse than where it was before.
Any thief breaking into a car is going to try and break into the glovebox, as they will assume that’s where some valuables will have been left. A lock isn’t going to stop them.

I'd like to see a setting that allows a length of time whilst I'm out of the car before the pin is required again.
True enough, and props on the xkcd
However, it still makes it more difficult for them to steal, and if they assault you for it, there is more chance of them being caught. It makes the risks higher, which discourages them.

If you're targeted then forget it, you've probably lost your stuff.
If it's opportunistic then mostly you just have to be slightly more difficult or less obvious than the next most likely candidate.
Hence: Valuables out of site doesn't prevent a determined thief, but will probably make an opportunist move on because they don't know if they will get any reward for their risk.
