Probably doesn’t have auto defrag because God forbid the OS do anything useful for you without a hundred terminal commands and a two hour setup lest all the sweaty arch users barge in with claims of bloat and “reeeeee why can’t I just decide for myself”.

Plus, short of putting nuclear reactors on every ship, they can only really function on oil based fuels. Nothing compares in terms of energy density. If you somehow managed to put god knows how many battery packs on a ship without it sinking, it would probably take months to charge and suck tens of megawatts from the grid whilst doing it.

I live in the UK, and I can say it depends greatly on your circumstances.

In general, if you’re traveling between an outside town to a city it’s usually an alright experience.

However, if your commute is between two outside towns then you have to be lucky, otherwise a car ends up being the only real viable option. My work is about 15 miles away, and before I had a car I had the only option of a railway line that ran through my town. If that line ever had issues getting cancelled or on the train strikes were on that day I couldn’t get to work because to get my work was 2 buses and 2 hours to go 15 miles. The train ran once an hour and didn’t call at half the stops on a Sunday including the stop I needed for work so if it was a Sunday I literally could not get to work.

It’s not even cheaper than a car when I factor in leisure travel, many places I regularly go to take longer to get to by car and are usually a worse experience whether that be service infrequency, long layover times or services getting cancelled/being on strike.

Would you like to open a GitHub issue as to how?

Look I’m a patriotic Brit too but the side you drive on really doesn’t matter as long as everyone drives on it within that country.

Safety standards are also different in the US for “light trucks”. So it’s probably still cheaper to make pickups because they don’t have to design it to not be a death machine.

See I used to think this was a feature where it auto translated titles for you because some of the titles are a bit nonsense. Guess not.

Well they want to prove who you are because a Google account is the central part of someone’s online life. I’d imagine that binning off all that info quickly looked really suspicious and flagged something on their systems. They can’t just let that slide because of the possible implications, someone might use that email as their bank account login or maybe it’s linked to something really personal.

Is it out of the goodness of their hearts? Hell no, it’s entirely to cover their asses from liability for damages.

Google also offers official parts through iFixit, which is better than most other manufacturers. I recently replaced the battery in my Pixel 6 Pro myself.
