Many EVs support vehicle to load, so you can run appliances off them in the event of an outage. The issue is more to do with the planning that needs to happen for things like that to be useful. If you are going to rely on a battery, you need to make sure it is charged when you need it, which precludes also using it for general driving.

It's more of a nice to have.

Every accusation is a confession with you lot. People whine about imaginary problems? Fed up of being told you are a bad person for your beliefs?

Good luck with this. Shaming people for being fat worked so well, I'm sure belittling them will get them to have more kids too. It certainly worked when people pointed out the deficiencies in your behaviour.

I would think that Teslas get stolen far less often because they are difficult to sell and difficult to turn into parts and, on top of that, you have to do a lot of work to disable all the electronics in there. Hence not an effect that would transfer to any external cameras.

Also, who would want a bad-quality space-NAZI car anyways?

For special-purpose, there are better things. For example, for teaching the Big Blue Button is quite a bit superior IMO. I have used it last semester with no issues at all. But it is not really suitable for more general use. For example, it requires you to schedule meetings and upload your slides before. That is fine for teaching, but does not work so well in many other situations. It also uses LibreOffice to convert PP slides to PDF, but since my teaching slides are LibreOffice anyways, I had zero problems.

That said, a Teams replacement does not have to be better. It just has to be about equal or not too much worse and it has to not be made by an US company or a company beholden to any other authoritarian regime.

Maybe they are anticipating rivals entering that space and want to move on to something where they have more temporary exclusivity. One or more of the US ones will get there sooner or later, and Chinese companies are well on the way too.

It may also be some pressure from the US government, with the goal of getting back to the moon before China does. More resources for Starship, which is supposed to be able to do the whole mission (take off from Earth, fly to the moon, land, take off again, return to Earth, land).

It frustrates me that Steam has become the only platform for a lot of games. While not quite indie, the IL-2 series isn't from a massive developer. You don't seem to be able to buy it anywhere else and simply download an installer.

I need to check if has any DRM too, because I'm not installing that shit on my computer.
