Text messages don't always have to come from a cell phone tied number. You can set up a gateway and get a 10-digit SMS number and corporate it up all you want.
Compatibility, for one. If you want to support downloads from very old systems, then that HTTPS has to use insecure encryption anyway and one IP address per hostname.
If there's one place where you'd want to allow old systems to connect, it's for downloading system updates.
Still a misleading headline. Most microphone/speaker response curves cut off sharply after about 20KHz, regardless of what the DAC can handle. You may not be able to produce/detect at the needed volume. This is probably why their upper end cuts off there - and it will probably continue to not be ultrasonic.
My phone was so slow and the battery went dead so fast, I just did a factory reset on my phone a week ago. It's faster than ever. It's hard to tell which app was at fault, but something was sucking down some serious resources. I'm only reinstalling the necessary apps, and so far I've avoided any "shopping" or food rewards app.
Google should really shut down background apps and make them more transparent when they do exist.
I remember comments on Slashdot, but I don't remember what they were. Most of them bad use-cases, but quick 'n dirty hacks. Ah, found it - https://linux.slashdot.org/com...
It was from before there was even a 64-bit version to overcome those limits.
You answered that backwards. "Does it run Linux?" is not the same question as "Does it run on Linux?" And this is hardware, not software - so it's a bit of a nonsense statement anyway.
Doesn't Apple already solder on SSDs to the motherboard? Though "first device of its kind" may be narrowly defined such that this laptop is the first device of its kind anyway.

Is your age 112?
And the bright side of this - if you leave a voicemail when they don't answer, you can weed out the people who don't check their voicemail.
Dialing into VM? Where do you get your cellular service from, the stone age?
Give out a Google Voice number or build up your own transcription system using their Speech API.
Then buy a virtual number for something like $1.50 per month and enable SMS on that. Have the texts routed to your email so you don't get woken up.

Someone didn't read the thread they were replying to. GP post I was replying to said "stenography"
The headline called it ultrasonic. 18.5KHz is not that.
Update - Apparently that's been done, but it didn't work very well due to imposed limitations on the API:

They have enough of an API, you could just about write an open source client for it. That might reduce how much info is exfiltrated.
Depending on what it sounds like, that could be coil whine from your Ethernet/WiFi when refreshing the page via AJAX.
Headline still says ultrasonic. Technically incorrect.
Enabling Mic access is one thing - enabling it on a background task is something else entirely - there's still not enough granularity.
Nyquist theorem. If your phone's DAC is operating at 44.1KHz, you can't reliably reproduce any sound frequencies above 22KHz.
Stenography would seem more viable.
Steganography would be a lot more useful here.
Why not just a low-pass filter?

A spinning SSD? Won't it get dizzy?

Oh, you mean their SMS ID.
You're replying to the wrong person. I know that. I was answering why. I didn't even realize they were claiming it didn't exist.
