I wouldn’t worry about it. I was one of the gifted kids, got my Bachelors then Masters in Computer Science with good grades. But also I got massively depressed and it took me a while to get a job after graduation. One of the more valuable lessons I learned from that experience was that I was often not seeing the forest thru the trees. After all, going to college is just a means of hopefully ensuring that you have an easier time covering the cost of living long term. So, overall, if you’re happy and don’t have to constantly worry about your bills there was no real loss of potential.

Sadly, Apple is far and away the best for that. Plus notability allows for digital recording too. Helped me a ton through school.

At low speeds. My grandfather has one (a really low milage one he inherited) and I’ve driven it a bit. It’s a small, cheap car that doesn’t get good milage at all (a 90s camry will get much better), but if you just want something to putter about in it works. Easy to park, cheap so you don’t have to worry about people messing with it, and pretty simply designed.

Oh, I believe it. They’re not great, but they are often a common handme down to the poorist relatives when an older member of the family dies, as well as just generally being cheap to get.

And/or older.

Smaller stuff has to be more complex to get to the lower mass, which is usually what causes the biggest issues. The hdds in those ipods had some extra stuff to make them more reliable, but even then, move them too quickly and they show it.

Edison motors. They’ve already got a working prototype electric diesel hybrid semi and have begun working on conversion kits. The big benefit is that when batteries eventually get good enough, you could just remove the diesel generator.

Not to mention that they all abandoned headphone Jack’s, even though if they kept them they might have actually got me. If you don’t need a headphone jack, I’m pretty sure Huawei has some tablets running their harmonyOS (fork of android, I think), have heard they’re pretty decent.

Sad to say it but yeah. I’ve never really used MacBooks, but I had an ipad pro 10.5 for years, and it finally died on me a few months ago. I recently replaced it with a 2 in 1 thinkpad, but the level of usability is just not the same. Tried windows (kinda half thought out) and currently going through Linux distros (mostly buggy when in purely touchscreen only mode) but it is a far cry ipad os, even if I have issues with it.

But just waiting for others to die out doesn’t always work. Take for instance the southern US. It took the federal government intervening (sometimes violently) to actually deal with a lot of the ingrained racism. And even then, there is still plenty around, and in some places it is gaining in popularity. In my mind, the argument you are posing could easily be subbed in as "we shouldn’t allow mixed race couples to have children, as those that are racist will inevitably traumatize the children. " I get that your argument is probably not from a place off outright homophobia, but it is kinda homophobic in that it accepts that children shouldn’t be around gay/lesbian parents because of what others will think and do. Is Poland shitty to LGBTQ couples? Probably, but just waiting for people to eventually accept them isn’t gonna fix the issue.
