No one should have to spend lots of time and money fighting for custody of their own child

How about in the example of an adult that impregnates a minor? (You know, the statutory rape, kind?) Is that father automatically granted 50/50 parental rights, should that minor decide to keep the child?

Various studies have been conducted around the world to determine the prevalence of gender dysphoria. A Dutch study indicated that 4.6% of 8064 study participants who were born male and 3.2% who were born female-identified themselves as ambivalent to their specific birth gender and were equally able to identify as male or female according to their internal perception of self. According to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition, gender dysphoria prevalence accounts for 0.005–0.014% of the population for biological males and 0.002–0.003% for biological females. In both Japan and Poland, the prevalence of gender dysphoria is higher in biological females.

Actual clinical evidence.

So nice gaslight!

But to have a business you need to sell a product someone wants. Outside of a few urbanites who work in IT from home and go out infrequently there is little use for an EV for the majority of Ford's customers. Anyone who is into this EV stuff probably has already bought one. The market for BEVs is already reaching the point of saturation.

Case in point: The other day I had to drive to Daytona for work. I only have so many hours in the day to get things done. It's a 3.5 hour drive for me each way. I spent around ~5 minutes refueling at Bucee's. I didn't even have time to pop in and get a brisket sandwich. If I had an EV I would have had to wait to supercharge several times, adding tons of useless time to my trip. I do this sort of road trip frequently. Many of my friends also do similar trips. I've even done an 8 hour trip with one pee/gas break. EVs are not practical for people who do lots of driving for work rather than leisure.. And you would be surprised how many people are in that situation. Your plumber and electrician certainly are (and the drive around with heavy vans full of tools).

The reality is that EVs have been and will continue to be a niche product that very few people want.

Because Google actually started with a good browser. Then they used it to take over and/or destroy all competition, except Firefox (which is trying to hang on). Ironically, it was Firefox that saved us from Microsoft taking over the web, and it might be Firefox that saves us again, this time from Google taking over the web. If it isn't too late.

Wrong.

If your "SSD" gets borked/replaced, There's An App For That(sm) !

The only "penalty" is that it has to Run on a Second Mac

Oh how little you know and how incapable of actually analyzing the reality of the situation you are. NAND chips aren't just a simple tabula rasa that you just write raw data to like flash memory is. NAND chips are more complicated in order to allow for fast random rw access, and they too require firmware to operate. Where do you think this is stored?

The boot ROM, right? ... Wrong. LLB perhaps? (Oh by the way, this part of the firmware is on flash storage. You know, the kind that you described as "dumbass" earlier) Also wrong.

It's on the dead NAND chip. So what do you think happens with your so called app (DFU) when it can't communicate with functional but otherwise inaccessible NAND chips? Basically this:

You see, that tool isn't meant to fix a dead SSD. It's meant for fixing a corrupted third-stage firmware update. It assumes there's a working SSD with NAND chips that have been blessed by apple with the right (or at least, compatible) firmware. Can you fix it? Yeah, with a second mac. Only that mac will be an ex-mac afterwards. In either case, you know how you keep talking about time machine backups while also talking about what happens in the case of a dead SSD? Care to guess why I told you that it's irrelevant?

All it takes is one bad ten cent buck converter to permanently brick your mac. Or, simply having too many chrome tabs is enough:
