>Driving scooters to work is impossible in many places due to distance or weather.
People do this all over the world. Maybe some folks need to take a moment to deal with a little discomfort. Or better yet, build out infrastructure so people have better options.
Don't make the mistake of presuming that levying a legal penalty equates to perfect compliance. When faced with a choice between compliance and survival, people will choose the latter.
Did you miss the part where this can be highly dependent on the officer's judgement?
If you take away someone's ability to get to their job because a racist/corrupt/grumpy/power-tripping police officer decided to perjure themselves to declare that they drove recklessly, you have given police a tool to destroy the lives of anyone they dislike.
It's kinda like the early 2000s where someone on their cellphone (and later bluetooth pieces) had the appearance of must be important because they're on the phone.
I've tried Affinity. Unfortunately a literal lifetime of photoshop has made it basically impossible to switch. It's like getting into a car and all the buttons are rearranged and behave different.
The jokes on me. I pirated photoshop way back in the day. Now I have no choice but to shell out a subscription.
Hopefully a cure comes as a form of vaccine so some folks can be totally against that.
I don't think mental stimulation correlates to the development of alzheimers anyway. The papers I've touched on the subject seem to suggest a mechanical failure in proteins essentially choking off and killing brain structure. Although the lucidity period shortly before death is interesting.
Files will always exist conceptually as a way of expressing data. The notion of sharing exists because of sandboxing and the need to exchange data between apps. This has been extended beyond just apps to sharing between multiple users or endpoints. Actual file naming for some objects has been superseded by meta data and tagging because it provides a better way of describing the thing.
The goal has always been to pull file management away from users. Because they don't need to know or care how the internal data structures work. So yes, in a sense file management is trending towards more of a need to know basis.
Maybe I misunderstand what you mean, but Windows Explorer is also the shell on Windows (handles things like the task bar and the desktop icons), so you will always see it running in the background.
Windows doesn't need explorer to actually function, it's just another component that adds optional extras to the desktop environment such as the task bar and desktop icons. Kill explorer.exe, your desktop and taskbar disappear, but programs still operate and can be manipulated and minimized, just in a more Win3.1 style flavor. A file browser window can be called directly without the explorer shell running, "explorer.exe /e".
Problem occurs when you have programs that dip into explorer's shell components expecting them to be running when that might not be the case. For that case you couldn't fully turn explorer off if you were, for example, trimming down a modern version of windows.
Newer cars do have lower maintenance and repair costs. This is why vehicles with over 100k miles still fetch a fair amount of money. Computers are very good at doing the same thing over again indefinitely, unlike fully mechanical implementations which tend to drift out of spec slowly over time. A side effect of that is they require more time to actually get in and fix things.
Unlike older cars, the way newer cars work is shielded within software and hardware black boxes and aren't particularly modular. You can't just pull a carburetor out of one car and put it in another. And you're fully dependent on the manufacturer to publish meaningful diagnostic information.
Not really. The issue with modern automobiles they don't really report much useful information about themselves beyond general upstream faults. One issue can flag errors in five modules, and it depends on the tech to know about the underlying technology in addition to diagnosing whatever mechanical issue. Techs also tend to be the type of people to throw up their hands and start throwing parts.
This is kinda where we need to shift more towards EVs because that would take out a lot of the complexity you get with modern automobile design.

What do you think how well documented car internals are? What would you do if you open a control device and you see an unmarked ASIC?
With regard to your edit. That's where there's a practical limit of what do you (a manufacturer) publish that the tech needs to know. So you need to cross it between technical know how, and how detailed you need to get. Me personally would pull out the oscilloscope and make some probes to get an idea of what to do. You set a carburetor on my desk and that would probably take me a bit longer over electronics. It's a skillset issue, basically, and we're transitioning off strictly mechanics to mechanics and electronics working together. Which naturally raises labor costs because people aren't use to that.
Not sure if my point came across. This is a knowledge problem. How can you test an ASIC for correct function if you have no knowledge of its intended function?
Right. That's what I added. You have to reverse engineer what's going on. As with anything if you don't know how it works. If your IC is producing crazy readings, or you look under a thermal camera, probably can blame the chip. Good luck getting a replacement.
