To get around the crappy display/keyboard/touchpad issue, one could also buy a used x86 Chromebook and install Linux on it and get very nearly the same (or better) experience.
If your house had the capability of adjusting the temperature and airflow for each individual person or room, your HVAC controls at home would look more like those in a traditional car.
(And as others have alluded to, a house is a much more stable environment than a car. It takes a LONG time to make most houses significantly warmer or cooler, a car's internal temperature can change drastically in minutes.)
In the timeline I remember, Microsoft and Windows were routinely criticized for producing bloated and buggy systems. Especially from those who previously used an Amiga or Mac. A new version of Windows inevitably meant buying a whole new computer, along with upgrading the memory midway through it's 3-4 year lifespan.
Start spamming far-left YouTube videos to the public channel at the same time, according to the general theory of nutball political physics the two should cancel each other out
In MeshCore a concept of regions has been recently introduced - you can scope channels and messages to a specific geographic region (which is set on a repeater) and it will not propagate outside of the given region.
That way local channels don't need to flood the whole mesh, same as with trying to send a message to someone or reach the management interface of a repeater you know is in a given area.
The problem is, all repeater administrators in a region need to cooperate - and a lot of repeaters are abandoned. And it doesn't help at all if the troll is aware of regions.
In practice at this quite early stage of MeshCore development I would say that repeater need some regular maintenance (like the recent firmware update needed 1b -> 2b) so if they are abandoned, they will eventually fall out of the network.
As for trolls and regions - based on how you setup the regions a troll might need to physically travel to cause wider issues, as their traffic might no longer propagate through the whole mesh.
Shallow take: They made an LLM that uses fewer emdashes.
Cynical take: They made an LLM that can bypass existing AI slop detectors.
Realistic take: They found a research problem they found interesting, dumped a bunch of capital and sweat equity into and (claimed to have, at least) found a solution. Neat!
Or they just have lots of money and a hobby. Someone else might blow $48K to get an old Cessna and go have fun flying around. Not everything needs to have a purpose.
One of the main reasons I switched to Vivaldi a few years ago was that it allowed and even advertised a "classic" browser experience. By which I mean: tabs that behaved like tabs, visual separation, not a lot of useless whitespace and corner-radius-maxxed borders everywhere.
Looks like that's all gone now and Vivaldi is just yet another generic "flat design" browser. Time to look for something else...
I have issues with sites on Vivaldi but it's never due to Vivaldi itself. It always ends up being that case that either uBlock Origin or Vivaldi's own built-in ad/privacy blocker ended up blocking some javascript library that the site needs.
ProTip: Try to do your thing in Guest Mode. It will almost certainly work there.
