So...
If you are somewhere in between a small child, or huge truck, you may be OK..... Unless your pushing a bike that is.

A "do not disturb, except phone calls" feature would be nice.
It existed, and even better than that, you could set it so only certain people got through, and / or if someone called X times in Y minutes.. it was called a Windows phone, but everyone slagged it off without even trying it.
Still the smart phone design by miles.
For those that are blissfully unaware how corrupt the Play store is, just search for a well known store. I chose Primark, a store that has no online sales options, so easy to spot.
An example.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.primarkwshop.primarkappstr
Look at all the other fake shops they run, and look at the contact details.
Primark is a well established, extremely well known, trademarked company, and yet they let this shit through.
Hope they lose and the floodgates are opened.
.... I hope Google lose.
They claim they need to control the eco system, take their huge cut of revenue and say what goes and what stays.
So they must take responsibility. The play store is rammed full of fake apps.
If this was a bricks and mortar shop, selling known counterfeit and shoddy goods, and as a result someone ended up out of pocket, they would 100% be liable.
Yes, crypto a glorified pyramid scheme, but Google is no innocent party. Remember Google are notorious for running ads for dodgy websites. They don't give a shit, so long as they get paid.
Oldest trick in the Win95 book.
TweakUI and speed up menu pop up animation.
"There you go. I've ran some clean up tools, freed up space, clicked up the CPU and put the memory into boost mode. Your machine should be running a lot faster now".
"Wow... That's really quick now, thanks!"
If your supporting a decades old system, using a year or two old Linux box is hardly getting to be the most traumatic thing to deal with.
I ran a Windows 98 box for 15 years to support a single bit of hardware until it was retired.
People moan about the size of installs, then complain about removing old cruft. Things just need to be pruned from time to time.
The US healthcare system is just one massive money making scam, where the health provision is owned and funded by the health care insurance cartel.
If a 3rd party can come in and break up this corrupt state of affairs then great.
Just a shame its another company with a dodgy track record.
NCAP gave 5* safely for the Toyota that is currently available in the UK

It's the people that chuck on any random plug in, even if it has no development for years. When they do use current ones, they don't use the auto update features
Then they don't bother putting any security software in place, 2fa etc
And finally, they don't even attempt to lock down the admin area.
"The supreme court removed the law at federal level and put it back to state level."
OK let's throw it back as the laws stand.
Dave wants to fire a gun in X state, but its illegal.
"Hi Bob, where can I go and fire a gun legally?"
That question is illegal to ask and anyone seeing that can effectively prosecute you.
"It's legal in Nevada"
That answer is illegal and anyone seeing that can effectively prosecute you.
"Great I'll look online and find a shooting range"
Anyone advertising this service can effectively prosecute you"
"I'm of to Nevada to shoot a gun"
That is illegal and anyone can effectively prosecute you.
"Well I shot my gun in Nevada where its legal"
That is an offence and anyone can prosecute you.
This is state level law?
Hopefully no one.
The current system is already fucked when it comes to music. We've had cases where they have successfully sued for "the general sound and feel" of a track.
With AI you could simply generate every single possible combination of notes in 8 bars and then sue every single musician on the planet.
You could easily do the same with art work.Just bang out 10s of millions of images and then sue for similar looking pieces.
