A new midrange is better than a 3 years old flagship, if only for the software updates.

Plus you still have your old phone to resell or hand down to a family member.

Journalists want clicks, and they get more by talking about "leaks".

If a game doesn't run on Linux I can't even try it. No risk of it becoming my favorite game!

XBOX must have 100% of games available on Playstation. Otherwise nobody will ever switch.

That's the thing, what's wrong with 45 years old fathers?

No matter how they package it, running a binary downloaded from Internet has the same attack surface

Because once their app is installed on your phone, they can send you push notification ads for their next great shoes.

There is no emergency that can't be handled by the adults of the school.

I can understand needing a phone for the commute, but at school it should stay in the bag turned off.

I don't hate Windows, I don't care about it. I don't use it.

I have to say, as a Linux fan in the 90's it was very cool to see Linux eating the whole server space, replacing older Unix while Microsoft tried desperately to grow Windows on the server market.

Communication is encrypted, it's https.

I have that in my ICE car and I never use it (map of gas stations correlated with remaining fuel). That's not specific to an EV.

Any of those features can be in a smartphone attached to your dashboard. Sure you have some benefits in accessing the car data, but they are small.

Unfortunately boring distributions don't get recommended because users of boring distributions don't bother commenting on distribution discussions.

And it's really unfortunate that obscure distributions have more vocal fans, because boring distributions are much better for beginners.

My car (Citroën) has a contact less key, I don't have to get it out of my pocket and the car automatically opens.

But it still includes a small physical key to open the car when the battery (of the car or key) is dead.

Luckily not even the Cybertruck is immune to those

Don't try zsh, because you won't be able to go back to bash after that 😉

GOOG-411 was created specifically for Google to gather voice samples, with different ages, accents, etc. to train voice recognition. It was never for the sake of providing a service.

You don't need Windows for gaming.

Sure, some games only work on Windows but some only work on Switch or PS5 and you can still play video games without playing those in particular.

In France installing a charger in appartement building is mandatory if the resident asks for it, even if they're renting.

In France if you have a parking spot, you have a legal right to get a plug there even if you're renting.

It doesn't fix the problem for people with no parking who do only street parking, but people who can't afford a parking spot rarely buy a shiny new EV to start with.
