Not to be dumb - but I don't want my car to have cellular connectivity, so this opens up more car purchase options for me once 3G goes dark. Granted, that's a tiny influx of new customers, but still, there's at least 1 new cu

Whether it be this or project Silica, I want my digital permanent storage. Write it in glass, treat it nicely, and yes, you may end up with digital bitrot or whatever, but I want media that stores digital data that cannot physically degrade

Possibly. For those who clung to Windows XP or 7, it was because the alternative was relatively unappealing (Vista, later 8 or 10, respectively). For those who are on Windows 10 because they made a pragmatic choice to keep compatibility wit

The less touchscreen, computerized fussy equipment in my off-roaders, the better. The fact that Toyota leans into that by waiting until 2020 to provide lane keeping assist on their 4Runners is a benefit. Body on frame, tried and true parts

I'm not one for using emails for everything. Sometimes the UI / UX just doesn't go great with things like synced up messaging and besides, email leaks metadata all over. Having said that, for extremely casual messages where I
