Does your apartment have a garage? No? Then what does this add to the conversation?

The big thing I see in my mom is she grew up with almost nothing, and all this stuff keeps her a little further from ever being in that situation again. I get it, but it isn't a healthy way to deal with that fear, and you'd be better off saving the money instead. But she doesn't trust banks, so that's another negative. 🤷‍♂️

That's more from Jewish/Yiddish roots, I believe.

I'm kind of curious. Is the Quest 3 actually profitable, or is it a loss leader? If it's the latter, I'd be even more inclined to take their product and have them lose money in the process.

Those kinds of leaps in battery labs have been a dime a dozen for decades now.

I was pretty irritated when I saw this.

In the real world we just get a steady march of slow improvement.

Well, there goes my 15-minute tirade on how much batteries have improved in the last 3 decades.

Someday in the distant future, there is going to be a very confused archeologist.

Remember, Passw0rd1! is a handy filler, meets most password requirements, and is a strong password!

It also helps that Canada has a non-fee option that only has the downside of being traceable.

Every time I come across it, it becomes a little less painful.

Not to dismiss the very real problem you raise, but that only has to be solved once per hardware configuration. This is why digital piracy is so successful - you only need the efforts of some very talented individuals to solve that particular problem and you're good. As hard as that may be, it's still simpler than manufacturing and assembling hardware where accuracy to 1/1000" in a dust-feee environment is a requirement.
