b) No one forces me to take breaks. I generally travel with my wife. We stop at Subway or a grocery store on the way out and put it in a cooler. We switch off if we need to. If you go to restaurants then you are just a victim in other ways. You are paying for services to pass the time.
c) Why does it matter if it is regular? All that should matter is that I don't want the hassle of renting a car and anyway it's much less expensive to use my own. Rental inventories are commonly all booked up weeks in advance.
d) I simply can't afford it. My wife gets one week of vacation and I need to do all I can with that week. I'm glad you are financially comfortable, can pay more for a vehicle up front, have time for doing all the traveling you want, all the charging you want, and to stop along the way. But your view is an entitled one because other people are just trying to do what they can with the meager vacation they have on a minimum budget.
Besides, i raised my kids and paid for their education in research fields that directly help the environment. I consider myself on a surplus. Notice how I can express myself without hurling insults.

The descendants of Ogg have renewed the ongoing lawsuit against the descendants of Zogg alleging that Ogg dropped a rock on Zoggs foot in a cave one fine day and it was really ouchie! Anthropologists are working around the clock trying to restore the cave paintings documenting the original complaint made to the tribal chief in 30,001 BCE.

Why would they give a warning? The result will be increased security at more valuable targets.
Most likely some bored kid who doesn't have any geo-political motivation.

Thanks, but unfortunately some of the information there is wrong or misleading. For example, what they call a "GPS module" is actually just an active antenna, basically a GNSS antenna with a built in LNA.
The bigger issue is that there are a lot of modules that we don't know the contents of. For example, the NimbeLink Skywire LTE modem contains a Sierra Wireless modem, which itself is made from parts from another company. Maybe Chinese, maybe not. Incidentally, the GNSS receiver is likely in there too. Combined cellular, WiFi, Bluetooth, and GNSS modules are quite common.

There doesn't need to be a standard, they can just use USB vendor defined endpoints, or a USB HID vendor defined report. Then the standard WinUSB and HID APIs work, and no driver is required. Plug it in, Windows recognizes it and attaches the appropriate generic USB driver, and the RGB control software sends whatever data is likes.

Lots of USB devices use RGB, such a mice and keyboards. For the RGB the early implementations were using microcontrollers, which often have USB built in.
