Remote places here in Northern British Columbia, reached by logging roads. There are now chargers along some remote provincial highways (e.g. highway 20), but I have yet to see one on a logging road. Some of the places I drive, there isn't even a gas station. You have to carry a lot of gas yourself.

It's much less likely to crash than other software, and nobody will try to forcibly update it.

If you talk to your car about deep stuff, you should probably consider a visit to a psychiatrist. :)

I want a car that runs GNU/Linux or FreeBSD.

Interesting. Given some of the places I drive, a pure EV is not an option for me, but a hybrid might be.

Exactly. Using AI to edit the piece is like using a spellchecker. She's using a tool to do what she could do by hand. It has no bearing on the fact that many of her students have not learned basic math.

I definitely do not want a car with a giant touch screen. I have a 2014 Ford Explorer. The touch screen for that is modest in size but even so I would prefer some of the controls to be mechanical. I have driven a 2024 Ford Expedition belonging to a client. In many ways it is nice, but it has a knob instead of a gear shift lever, which I hate. It's distracting to have to look at a knob in the center console. Worst of all, it has a very large touch screen. It looks awful, but more important, it is very distracting to have to turn to it. Touch screens are okay for settings that you don't adjust while driving, but mechanical controls and gauges in front of you are much better for things you manipulate and look at while driving.

The ISP here gives you one when you sign up for fibre service.

There are lots of roads too.

My mother lives in a place that is probably more remote (as in distance to the nearest city > 100,000) than it's possible to get in the US outside of Alaska. Twenty years ago when they were paving the highway they also dug a trench and dropped fibre into it. The initial idea was to hook up schools and government buildings but a local started a company and just ran fibre to everyone's house, including the farmers'. They're cheaper and way more reliable than the only competitor (DSL) so pretty much everyone has 1 gig symmetric connections with the option for 2.5.

POTS and a modem should be enough for anyone. And none of that fancy 56k shit either, good old 14.4 kb/s.

With a radiator.

Data centres in space are a terrible idea because they come down after about five years. Maybe you don't care so much about your old video cards burning up, but your power station does too.

why is nobody stepping up to make more supply?

They arent'?

Could you have said "I like my fairphone" without the put downs straight out of a highschool movie? Yes you could have.

The packaging isn't that difficult. Small bioreactors are a thing, and are generally easier to build than big ones. You can e-mail a sequence to a manufacturer and get a vial of lipid encapsulated mRNA right now for high hundreds or single digit thousands of dollars, depending on the length of the sequence.
