What are they going to do if you don't pay?

They didn't really replace it though. Pretty much every modern car sold today has Bluetooth. You don't have to use android auto.

You're correct. I tried to keep it short and misspoke. Two hot wires from previously split phase.

One long enough to be worth considering in the last 7 years.

No, they work really well because they run on two phases so 220v.

Largest ev markets are CA and NY and there number of people living in SFHs is closer to 55%.

I have a phev that I regret since I had to get a minivan and now drive it exclusively on long trips so phev is basically full electric in the city now, but I have to burn gas anyway since otherwise ice components get messed up from disuse.

My (somewhat niche) reason is I need a wheelchair accessible car and I can't find any company that modifies the only electric minivan I'm aware of to install a ramp.

I think it's more the price than anything else. Tesla is nowhere near a premium car, let alone a luxury one, but sells for luxury car prices. Of course other manufacturers wanted to jump on this train with spectacular profit margins.

For most A to B drivers a new EV is completely out of their price range. Not to mention a bunch of them live in apartments so they would effectively still have to go to a "gas" station to fill up, except now it takes 3 times as long.

One downside on a laptop is reduced battery life.

I tried Ghostty briefly before, but you have to really try hard to notice preformance difference over Konsole.

Cool idea, but not useful for those that spend all day in a terminal imnho.

I completely agree, but despite OP or Samsung looking better on paper, overall experience is just so much smoother. Shit just works. And at some point I began to value that over specs.

Just for some perspective, I'm basing what I'm saying on OP 3T, 5T and 8Pro, Samsung S21 and Pixel 8 pro and currently 9 pro fold.

Nah, I'm not doing back to OP. I hate to say it, but If you're going to use android, nothing beats pixels. Not even close.

If GrapheneOS manages to actually work with a decent hardware maker to get a phone to the market, I'll get that next, but only if Android auto and banking apps work. Phone's useless to me without those.

Only reason I'd give those up is if I can get another Linux phone as polished as Nokia N9. Still the best phone I've ever owned.

Not a popular opinion, but if those two options are unavailable, I'd rather switch to iPhone than use a non pixel android.

Oneplus had great success but then enshittified. Raised prices to match Samsung and Google, outsourced support to some place that didn't sound like they were even in the same dimension as any English speakers and took away their ability to help customers even by accident and finally quality of their phones went to shit.

They could've sucked the Chinese government subsidy tit for another few years and would've established themselves as legit competition, but that would only delay inevitable enshittification by a few years.

Sure, except if you choose to live in the middle of nowhere it's hardly fair for everyone else (government) to pay for your decision. It's not like they owe you other utilities. A house you build off grid will stay that way unless someone pays to change that. Just like you can get well water and solar electricity, you can also get satellite internet. I suspect you're still comparing one of the Nordic countries or GB to US without realizing just how vastly different population density is here.
