There are giant swaths of area with no coverage, especially in the mountains of arizona, including the freeways and especially highways. The entire western US can be spotty with signal out in the great wide open. It isn't until the Midwest and more east that one should largely not worry about signal coverage anymore.

What is a non-mechanical mechanical part?

Google Maps is always dead on for me. I regularly drive very long distances across the US. The time estimates are within minutes of accurate even when there are sudden or extreme backups like in Los Angeles. There's plenty to criticize Google for, but it isn't Google maps for me.

If you intend to operate a commercial vehicle with air brakes, you do have to take an air brake skills test in Wisconsin.

Very few agencies would do more than roll their eyes at such a report.

Ash is the only one I'm aware of, but that's primarily going to be found and used on stuff like routers or other embedded devices. Any modern shell can support history. That said, many users will disable it or wipe it on logout for security reasons.

Well, yes. I wasn't really intending to make a comparison. I was just explaining the meme. There was a time when getting your wifi/network card going in Linux was somewhat of a hassle for many.

This is true today. Had you tried that back in 2005, you'd very likely be fiddling with drivers. I specifically remember making a disk that contained all the drivers I'd need if I had to reinstall for any reason. Without it and without a network, you'd have to have another computer available to grab drivers from the internet.

 

I enjoy helping users that are new or not very proficient in Linux with questions they may be chastised for asking elsewhere. This will be a safe space to ask anything regarding Linux without being made to feel dumb.

I'd be happy to mod.

I run overwatch and rdr2 from ntfs partition with no problems. I just created a symlink from the default install path.
