Perhaps this is a golden opportunity for civic minded programmers to spend some time getting WINE to the point where most users can comfortably run WINE instead of Windows XX.
Essentially make the key that allows users to let themselves out of the Microsoft jail they've been trapped in all these years.

It's hyperbole for headlines. My 2017 Chevrolet Bolt EV has a complete coolant loop for cooling and heating the battery as needed. And it will warn you in very cold weather that the vehicle should be plugged in as it will be using power to keep the batteries warm and safe. It does lack the ability to pre warm the batteries before fast charging while driving that my newest EV has. So not perfect, but it was well known that you need to keep your batteries warm enough to be effective.
I suspect EVs built for developing economies had different priorities in mind.

The acquisition of US Cellular by T-Mobile was possibly a bigger blow to meaningful coverage competition than acquiring Sprint. US Cellular was very good at operating outside the major cities. It was the best coverage in the boonies in areas that it serviced.

One could be hopeful that with the US Cellular areas it acquired, T-Mobile might have better anywhere coverage than Verizon.

One anecdote about coverage in congested areas. This summer I've witnessed and experienced the inability to get data connections when at crowded events with Verizon. The 5G symbol is on, with plenty of bars, but you can't get through. Texts won't work, you have to call. With a previous phone I could at least drop down to LTE or 3G and get it off the crowded bands.

I've replaced plenty of headgaskets during my years of driving hydrocarbon based vehicles. Mostly SAABs including 2 cycle engines.
Perhaps a closer analogy would be replacing fuel tanks. You can have a fuel tank that bolts easily to the bottom of the vehicle or you could have one deeper within the body of the vehicle that isn't so easy to replace. I've replaced the easy ones but not the hard ones.
[Would the Samsung Note 7 be the Ford Pinto of phones if the latter analogy is used?]

Absolutely.

There should be rules, this isn't Nam.

Automotive crash tests were performed using dummies, and not real people. This throws into question the validity of all the safety tests currently performed on automobiles in the United States.
You simply must test on humans or your results will rightfully be called into question.

Yes, but 8 percent were tested with people.
Once you established that it works, you don't need to use humans for each test. Maybe a follow up note and then, but not every test. To do so would be cost prohibitive, and/or you would test less.
Let's be smart and efficient.

So A2A is the real world name for Skynet?

It did make me wonder if there is a inert digital assistant that could be installed and switched to that does absolutely nothing other than satisfy the system that you are using a digital assistant.
If you know of one, please post

... for simple instructions on how to remove Gemini from a Pixel 9 Pro XL?

It then included info citing Reddit about having to repeatedly quash Gemini.

Paraquat was toxic as hell, so we'll use an analogous company and think it is safe.

The sad thing here is the logic that by substituting a different toxin you buy time before enough cases are found, And for plaintiffs to get the science takes time and you delay delay delay. So change it up every now and then and restart the clock.

A little bit like tweaking a drug that is running out of patent time

Difference between a court order for all documents and a warrant? Specificity

Warrant needs to be targeted, and in theory supported by information and belief. (Hard to write that last part without laughing)
