No button necessary for voice: “Hey Google, set my seat heater to medium.”

I would still like to have a button-only option, of course.

Mileage varies a lot on this one. I have an Android Automotive car (not to be confused with Android Auto) and “Hey Google” is basically flawless for changing car settings while driving.

Docker Engine uses a feature of the Linux kernel called namespaces. Alternate OSes require a Linux VM. As another commenter mentioned, apps like Orbstack, Podman Desktop, and Docker Desktop provide a facility to create such a VM.

Mobile data sucks even in the densely populated northeast parts of the Amtrak system. Cell network congestion and dead spots where the railroad takes a path away from population centers and highways.

Same. It is annoying to dodge the prompts that guide me to save in Chrome or iCloud instead of 1Password, but with patience I have always succeeded. Of course, I know what I want and when to ignore what the machine suggests, which I wouldn’t expect of non-enthusiasts.

Google has acquired a lot of ad competitors, but I can't remember any general-purpose search engines. It seemed more like they died out naturally over a long period. I welcome new information if that's not right.

The DOJ is concerned with moving the needle on one specific issue (search monopoly a.k.a. seatbelts) and is not concerned about the side effects on related entities (Firefox a.k.a. undertakers).

Amtrak reaches 110 mph in a few places in diesel territory (outside of the NEC). The Empire Service and Lincoln Service, for example.

My passkeys are in 1Password and work on every new device I set up.

CTF is waived for nonprofits, which is how a lot of FOSS projects are structured.

Having them as low as possible improves latency, which is a big selling point of Starlink over incumbent geostationary services like Hughesnet.

I hope the UX changes are limited to that extent, yes. I’m concerned about another cookie banner unintended consequences situation.

I’m sure RCS messages would stay green though, so it’s less than clear that your proposal addresses the alleged social lock-in.

It seems like DOJ might force Apple to make separate "SMS" and "iMessage" apps, and perhaps forbid preinstalling iMessage so users have to download it from the App Store when they get a new phone (giving it equal footing with its competitors). This would diffuse the claim that iOS is downgrading Android users within the same app.

Are you sure the password manager is using all the APIs available to it? I use 1Password and it feels extremely well integrated.
