Apps can hook into the Apple TV user profiles if they want, but many don't.

Maybe this is just my consumer perspective but I feel like TomTom really missed on a pivot to other GPS-related products that Garmin has successfully nailed. 10-15 years ago both companies were known mainly for car sat-nav systems but Garmin now has an incredibly diverse product line with well-liked fitness watches, bike computers, exploring/off-grid satellite communicators, marine charts, aviation, etc. Whereas TomTom seems stuck still selling the same handful of automobile satnav products which are surely squeezed to a tiny consume base between smartphone apps and feature-rich car screens.

I know there is map IP as well and maybe that's their only real business opportunity going forward.

The (now discontinued) iMac Pro officially supports 256 GB of RAM. 3rd party RAM resellers claim it will work with 512 GB. I assume any M1 or M2 replacement would support at least the same amount.

Yes it's a big breakfast but if a normal diet is 2000-2500 calories per day, 820 for 1 meal doesn't seem that weird.

Fair enough, I used "home" but it could just as easily be anywhere else the car is stored: garage, office building, even public streets maybe. Going to a filling station is just too slow to be the main way to charge. No EV owner wants to dedicate 30 minutes a week twiddling their thumbs while the car charges. I just can't see a dedicated filling station will be part of the regular routine for most EV owners the way it necessarily is for gas cars.

I'm not sure the "gas station on every corner" model is going to transition to the EV world. First of all many people will do the bulk of their charging at home, so paying for a charge will be mostly limited to long distance road trips, etc. It's not something you necessarily need to do at all during your regular commute or running errands around town.

Second, even with a fast DC charger it still takes 20-60 minutes to get a useful amount of charge. That's a lot longer than you need to run into a convenient store to buy a coffee or whatever. It makes more sense to put these chargers where people will naturally be parked longer: office buildings, restaurants, highway service plazas, etc.

I agree, the USB-A form factor is by far the most widely used peripheral connector in the history of computers. The shift from USB-A to USB-C is without precedent.

Practically every mouse, keyboard, printer, camera, charger, and external drive made in the last 20 years has used USB-A. Practically every car in the last 10 years has USB-A. Every hotel room, every airplane, every DC power converter. There are still millions (billions?) of devices shipped every year with USB-A.

We are nowhere near the inflection point.

The purpose is to put more of the daylight hours in the evening when people are able to enjoy it. And/or when it may reduce the use of electricity (though studies show it probably doesn't have much or any effect).

If the sun rises at 5am, few people will be awake to take advantage of that light, so shifting it to 6am has not much effect. But shifting sunset from 7PM to 8PM gives people an extra hour of daylight in the evening.

I actually think the range is one of the least impressive things about the Tesla. They just spent a lot of money and put a really big battery in there. Yes the range makes it very practical but it's not particularly difficult.

Many luxury car shoppers are not that concerned with reliability since they plan on only owning the car for a few years. 3 year leases are common and even those who buy a vehicle outright may trade in long before reliability becomes a real concern.

These are not the associations I have with the "Visual" MS branding (for what it's worth).

You don't need a C wire for the Nest, although if you have one it's recommended to use it. The Nest has a small internal battery and can trickle-charge from the R and W wires.

It's not clear to me whether this solution is stable. The air flow looks very turbulent. Maybe if the air vents are blowing at a slightly different speed or if you have a few empty seats, the dynamics change a lot and you go back to a chaotic circulation pattern. Also, most airplanes have individual vents as well that can be adjusted... how would those affect the flow?

I think (s)he's giving feedback about the wording of the description, not the gameplay itself.
