If you've ever had to install printer drivers and fight their bundled software/adware/spyware that comes along, *and* the huge headache of getting networked printing set up (looking at you Windows), AirPrint is magic. Especially being able to print from your phone.
Sounds like FUD. A properly installed AC leaks nothing because it is by design a sealed system. I wonder if they feel the same about refrigerators.
These same smooth-brains are probably extolling the benefits of heat pump water heaters not realizing they have the equivalent of an AC attached to them.
This is false. They're not supposed to leak. "Replenish gas reserves" is not a regularly scheduled maintenance item. In fact it's illegal for a technician to add refrigerant more than once without identifying and repairing the source of the leak. Unless you did something stupid like tried to install a split system yourself.
If your unit leaks refrigerant it needs to be repaired. This is not normal.
ICE cars aren't supposed to explode nor are EVs supposed to burst into flames via inextinguishable battery fires.
But sometimes they do.
We don't use this outlier data to refer to them as conflagrations-on-wheels and assert it's a normal function of the device just to strengthen our biased case.
Sure but battery fires are still a problem that needs to be fixed and not ignored. Also, even though it doesn’t happen often, when it does the results can be catastrophic. So it is a reasonable concern.
What? I’ve never heard of a system that (with proper installation etc.) needs to be replenished anything like that often! Where are these brands you’re talking about from?!
Car air conditioners maybe, but it seems unbelievable for fixed systems of any reasonable quality…
"Struggles to master" sounds like propaganda / smear piece to me. For a country that is clearly NOT ready for widespread EV adoption outside of enthusiasts. Maybe they have the foresight to see the infrastructure isn't there yet and are playing the slow game despite the complete ignorance of activist politicians who are pushing rapid widespread adoption of this technology when clearly the preparation is woefully inadequate.
Actually, you changed the file type from 'TEXT' to 'ttro' to make a Read Me document read-only. 'ttxt' was the application signature of TeachText and SimpleText and is now the signature of TextEdit.
It's funny how for many years the push to switch to almost-but-not-quite as good OSS solutions has been the cost savings. Then MS gives Teams away for free and all of a sudden it's "oh those evil monopolists". Would it be any different if Teams was OSS? The client is basically worthless to them. The licensing fee covers hosting costs.
This was the same 20 years ago. Netscape lost the browser wars not because of bundling. Netscape lost because Netscape Navigator 4 was crashy garbage, possibly the worst browser ever made. The reason Firefox was developed was because Netscape was so intolerably bad, an alternative to the alternative needed developed.
You know the old saying, "If you can't beat them, go cry to the European Commission."
