Yeah and there's just as many paid for programs with the same issues... What's your point? Want me to show you some open source programs that are polished? Heard of blender before? That's not the point I was making anyway... The issue with non foss software is that you have ZERO control over it. Big corporations can decide to drop support at any moment or make a free tier paid.

That's why open source rules

Show me one home that is wired with cat8 cables lol. Then I'm going to show you the millions of homes that have an isp provided wifi 6 router.

So you agree that wired is not always faster... It depends on the hardware you're using. And most consumer grade hardware you can buy today has faster wireless speeds than wired.

I hate how they cut off the graph...

Yeah you're right, but that's 100% on them. They knew it was coming and they chose to not make any significant changes. Now they die. That's just evolution.

Huh, that makes a lot of sense actually. Thanks for correcting!

I often hear people saying "But where does the electricity for the EV come from? Driving an EV is not better than driving a diesel."

They have to realize that the thiny ICE in your car is optimised for weight, and has an efficiency of 30-35%. So about ⅔ of the fossil fuel is turned into heat and blown out of the exhaust. Compare that to the turbine in a coal or gas plant, which can archive up to 90% efficiency.

And don't forget that an EV is an investment, which will likely still be on the road in 20 years time. The electricity mix at the moment is still rather fossil fuel heavy, but this will change completely within the next 10 years.

Edit: not 90% but 40% efficiency. See comments below
