You have an a bit cached but true point, that's is: there was a so big push to web tech that actual local graphics libraries was left in an old era without real updates. That's the case even of Qt and their QML mess. That's t

Thunderbird was outdated? Yes, together with nearly any other MUAs except few termina's based ones and Emacs based one. And that's clearly demonstrate how someone decide to push them to the oblivion. Someone that's probably i

No, thanks, I do not ask on some vendor's forum. I prefer ask people I can trust as sources, not eventually disguised marketing guys or bot. As I write before I say most of them are on Renault, But one is on a Tesla. This last one es

A small note: beside CLI MUAs there is another text-based but graphic-capable MUAs, those inside of Emacs, Notmuch in my case, and this one can really beat not only TB but also GMail, earlier not-so-crappy versions included. Native CardDAV

How may years your EV have? As said above while I do not have owned an EV myself I know few peoples with one and NO one, after an initial period of high enthusiasm, would buy another in the future. So my data, surely not significant in stat

How old, in years, your EV is? I bet you do not know anyone with a moderately used EV with more than five years. If I'm right wait a bit before try so sure conclusion. I know few people with few not-so-new EVs (Renault ZE series most o

Electrical (battery based) car's are more a marketing thing that a real tech change. They simply can't for now substitute fossil-fuel car's. Battery life is still a problem, most of the people have yet do discover due to the

A small, concise explanation IMO can be: software is an implementation/modelisation of an idea. So not a product. You may pay someone for his/shes expertise and time and resources, but you can't pay him/her as you pay a
