My experience in the US at least is that its not uncommon for the furnace air intake to draw air from inside the house (my last two homes in PNW as one example).

Sure, but the quality of DLSS (and AMD's FSR2) has generally been much better than previous super sampling solutions, and this is borne out in virtually all independent testing of the feature. Supersampling algorithms in old emulators

It's not really the same at all in practice though. With steer by wire you can get the lock to lock literally as little as you like - 150 degrees at low speed lock to lock in the Lexus system for example. In theory it could go from one

They almost always only vary the amount of power assistance, not the ratio. The ratio is fixed on virtually all electrically power assisted steering racks ever shipped. There is still a fixed mechanical linkage - decoupling this is what all

Allows you to vary the steering ratio dynamically (how many "turns" lock to lock). Means a lot less arm twiddling during lower speed maneuvers, and can gradually increase the ratio as speed increases. Traditional mechanically link

The fact the Apple card was a Mastercard and had no foreign transaction fees was largely the only reason I opened it, as I too find my Amex a pain in the ass in Europe. If it does become an Amex card, I will likely close the account.

This would be a bit of a detractor for me, Amex is not as widely accepted, especially when traveling in Europe. Mastercard is accepted virtually everywhere in the EU and UK.
