The question was literally, "What happens when all car manufacturers are displaying ads?"

In the UK, most medical information will be classified as sensitive personal data, which means it has significant extra protections under our regular data protection law, in addition to the medical ethics implications of breaching patient confidentiality. Letting it escape is a big deal and potentially a serious threat to the business/career of any medical professional who does it. Fortunately the days of people sending that kind of data around over insecure email are finally giving way to more appropriate methods of communication as the technology improves. It's usually governments seeing pound signs and/or businesses who aren't providing direct care to the patients that are pushing for wider distribution (and also those organisations who act as if impossible claims about sanitising the data effectively before releasing it are true).

Good for you! Unfortunately, for a lot of people, having no car isn't really an option, so the answer to what happens next with your strategy is really that all of those people get an inferior product because there's no effective competition or regulation in the market to prevent that, while people like you don't get any product at all.

What should happen is that governments recognise a failure of the market to maintain adequate standards for customers and introduce regulation to enforce minimum acceptable standards accordingly. Whether that actually happens obviously depends on whether your government is more interested in looking out for the people or the businesses.

You have an AUX-IN? Must be a luxury model.

2010 Elantra Blue has an AUX-IN. Never used it, but I know it exists. Also has a USB-A connection. And a CD player which I regularly use.

Stability is relative. Compared to reinstalling Win9X so often I only recently forgot my most-used 98SE product key, Win2K was a breath of fresh air, especially for dual CPU rigs formerly afflicted with NT 4.0.

There may be a silver lining.

Desperation will ensure sales to the only customers (PC building enthusiasts) who will still care about traditional removable RAM.

Normals never install an OS, never open their computers, and never install internal hardware upgrades. People who do are "techno-divergent".

Apple demonstrates soldered RAM and storage are no barriers to consumer sales with zero need for a hobbyist market.

Ancient Slashdotters remember COAST (Cache On A STick) and why it went away.

Today we have ROAST (RAM On A STick) which only exists for customers who cannot afford to max out RAM on computer purchase, there being no (conventional user to whom computers are magic) downside to max RAM.

Being able to buy a PC with a cheap spinning rust hard drive and the least offered amount of RAM then binning those and maxing out with aftermarket parts (mostly Crucial RAM in my and many others case) was great while it lasted but the vast majority of PCs go from womb to tomb without upgrades and will in future.

Ticking new boxes furthers the careers of company drones and bureaucrats. Maintenance doesn't.

Windows 10 has all of that as well.

All of the headline changes go in during a two-week window at the start of the cycle, having been developed previously. Several people write articles during that window about what got merged, so the list is already known when the release actually comes out two months later. (That two-month period is used for testing in more unusual situations and checking for incompatibilities among the set of changes that got merged for the cycle.)

So this article is really reporting that two compact weeks of merge decisions in early October are now officially considered tested and ready, and they wrote the article and people checked it over a while ago now.

The part that's harder to track is ongoing development work, which happens continuously without a set schedule, but it happens in separate trees and only goes into the official tree when it's complete, has been reviewed, and has gone through various testing in systems managed by kernel developers. All of the work described here was done before 6.17 was released, and developed during several releases before that, but it didn't need to affect Linus's tree until he decided it would land in 6.18.

Having 20 million cells is entirely orthogonal to your original complaints.

Accepting the use of Excel is not inaccuracy.

Hypothetical future errors are not a reasonable basis for argument about current use.

Your arguments still suck.

They tried to do Jesus, but passengers kept calling security about a hippy boarding the plane.
