But compared to Windows? My doctor's telehealth portal doesn't like Linux, so that was out too.

Ouch. That's the rub indeed, people are getting fucked over by their "service" "providers". I'm able to use everything so far from Linux; the local hospital's telehealth and my bank's website will even work in Firefox, but I need to use Chromium (ungoogled is OK) to pay my bills. Otherwise I have to use the phone payment system, which of course is super duper easy actually but I'd still rather do it on the web.

And an American helicopter would be 150k.
So, what is your point?

Oh, yes, "Swiss Rega" sends a bill. But not to the people, but to the insurance ... small but significant difference to your proposal.

AI overview:
"""
Swiss Rega (Schweizerische Rettungsflugwacht) is a private, non-profit air rescue foundation providing emergency medical assistance, mountain rescues, and patient repatriations. Founded in 1952, it operates independently of state subsidies through the financial support of millions of paying patrons.
"""
Emphasizes, mine.

Most "rescue" Operators in Europe, are either:
1) military
2) health care
3) private founded NGOs - like Swizz Rega - you picked a stupid example.

No private person ever gets a bill for anything ...

It really isn't complex. Google does it just fine. You have an account picker in the upper right corner, and you choose which account you're using to interact with that app. No big deal.

Which doesn't really work as users routine confuse their accounts and upload files to the wrong account, and then confusion ensues when files are stored partially on a work account and on a personal account.

Microsoft makes it somewhat better because OneDrive ends up with different accounts show up multiple times. And YouTube started showing multiple profiles when you start it up, which is a better solution so you always log in to the right account every time.

The problem is it's hard to differentiate between accounts and you might be happily working away and then realize it was saving to the wrong account the whole time.

Of course, the fundamental thing still remains the same - even if those ex-Apple employees had access to confidential documents, they are still covered by the Apple NDA as those don't usually have expiry dates. So they're still bound to keep that information secret.

It's generally not the mass pulp that is much of a worry. It's the rare books that get digitized for AI then dumped

I mean, we have some of the largest AI companies digitizing books for their AI training sets. Imagine the human benefit if those archives aren't destroyed but kept.

Heck, it could even serve as an income stream for those AI companies to make books available for access.

Of course, we know when the bubble pops, all that data gets deleted and since those books were destroyed permanently which means some works might no longer exist.

The very least is we could have some of the biggest book archives be one of the legacies of the AI bubble that would be a positive for humanity.
